I've picked up a spares/repairs timber planer/thicknesser for £not much. It has lots of complicated wiring on it which I haven't a cat in hell's chance of putting back together. I suspect the complex wiring has something to do with the safety switches that are fitted to stop you running the machine with the table removed etc. My overall plan is to fit an emergency stop/start control box and bypass the table safety switches.
For the time being I'd like to wire a plug directly to the motor to test it, but I'm stumped by the amount of wires going into it in the current setup. There's, one brown, one blue and two blacks (one marked D2? Secondary winding maybe?) which somehow translates to one red one, one blue and one black at the motor side. Anyone able to work out how I can (if I can at all?) marry this up with a 3 pin plug?
