I guess I am confused with your reference to a pigtail. In my
understanding, a pigtail is used inside the junction / receptacle box
to connect multiple wires to a single terminal connection.

Think 'short extension cord', external to the building wiring.

All of the 240v circuits were 30A, installed, by a licensed, bonded,
insured electrical professional. Who installed a subpanel, with lockable
master lockout switch.

Sorry if my inaccurate, or irregular use of the language caused confusion.
It was not my intent.

No problem, it's what I thought you meant, but wanted to be sure.

It is an interesting idea and I like the concept. Is there a reason you
didn't want to just replace the entire cord to the machine or at a minimum
just the plug end as I proposed?

If you were going to use the equipment in areas that have different
receptacles types, I think this is the best option. Given that I am trying
to standardize on a receptacle type, it seems to me you are doing both sides
when you would only need to do one.

Did you want to leave the original power cord and plug end in tact for
warranty purposes?

Thanks,

David
