Got a little bit done today. Mounted the wired-up enclosure to the wall. I need to wire in the 220V line. It's the orange one to the left. Right now it's just powering the lathe through a disconnect switch so I could get the lathe back up and running after the shop space rearrangement. I need to find a 30A disconnect switch that will switch power to both the lathe and mill. The mill requires 30A, the lathe 20A.

Just build a couple of knife switches.
I'm sure you could slip the building inspector a Ben Franklin or two.

That would be the poor guy having the stroke if he were ever allowed to enter my basement!
I've had to allow certain techs access into my shop for meter inspections /change outs (water / gas), phone line repairs, HVAC install, etc., and the first two words out of every mouth has been "HOLY
(censored)!!!!!!"
When I built my shop it had a 200 amp panel and one light and one outlet. Just enough for the electrical inspector.
Disconnect switch box moved and temporary wiring started. Lathe no longer has power.

I'd rather do electrical wiring all day long than have to move another mill downstairs.

Ya got that right Willie.

Just so you guys don't think I'm sloughing off, I got the 220VAC wiring done.

Gee Ed, at this rate we will be able to move this thread into the vintage machine section...
