dpb gave some great advice. I don't know what type of a switch is on
the jointer so it would be hard to say, there are so many variables
that I would ask the guy first what he has and a picture if possible.

3ph is virtually certain to have magnetic starter; a NEMA 1 is rated 3hp
single phase; I'd be extremely surprised if the jointer he's looking at
has a NEMA 0 although is possible; that would be the question to ask.


But included on the jointer itself? I wish I could see pictures of it.
He didn't say if it was an 8,10,etc inch jointer

The jointer could have a low voltage SP switch, 24v, 110v, or 220v
depending on the coil in the mag. For some reason in the back of my
mind I keep thinking of a 3p switch with overload heaters, fed by a 3p
knife switch fused or non fused. I have seen a lot of weird things in
my day.

The question of vintage and availability of heaters is a good one altho
most old models of the usual manufacturers one can find replacement
heaters for or others will cross.
