I AM NO ELECTRICIAN

But I wired my 220 TS 10 years ago. Mine has 3 wires. 2 leads and a
neutral, not a ground.
Are you sure yours is not wired for 110? From what I understand more
modern wiring set ups are 4 wire. 2 leads, a neutral and a ground.


Nope. Just for appliances like clothes dryers which tap 120 off for
things like control circuits. Not so for a table saw unless yours has a
spin dry timer. I suspect yours has two 120v lines and a ground.


Noooo I am tapped in to the dryer circuit. ;~) Has worked well for 10+
years. I'll look into the spin dry cycle.
