Re: Tool Post Grinder


 

Yes, the switch is on the cord, a couple of feet from the TPG. Cord looks to be 15 or 20 feet long. May try to get that squared away today, if I can. Wife has been particularly sick the past couple of days, and has been needing constant care & attention. She was asleep when the TPG arrived, or I'd still be wondering what model it was. I've not gotten much sleep this week, myself. Finally crashed and burned about 7pm last night...

The line switch on my factory TPG is in the line cord.? The unit was bought the summer of 1980, about a year before the last 3996 rolled off the assembly line so it's a safe assumption that all of them were like that.?

Forgot to mention that it's a 1/3hp 115VAC/DC universal motor, so it should be speed controllable, too. Supposed to have a 3-wire grounded plug, but not anymore. Will have to fix that. Looks like 14ga. wiring in the existing cable.?
