Thank you!! I just inherited a Grizzly vac system from my son the contractor, it's 220 and I only have 110 in my garage. He promised he would convert it for me as soon as he had some time... ie never. Now I can do it myself!
I SCREWED UP! So it looks like I goofed in the video. It was pointed out by some of you viewers that I missed that the motor will pull 18amps when it's configured for 110v (instead of the 9 when it's in 220v configuration) and that the plug I chose is underrated. Just wanted to say THANKS for spotting this! I'll be correcting this before the tool is used in the new location. Thanks all!!
DISCLAIMER: If you hurt yourself or blow up your house trying to do this, don't hunt me down and sue me. Playing around with electrical configurations can be dangerous if you don't follow the instructions. Each motor can be different so what you see in this video may not apply to your own situation. Pay close attention to the instructions and if you're ever in question, STOP AND CALL AN ELECTRICIAN!
With that in mind, you can also convert tools from 110v to 220v by playing this video in reverse. Hope you all liked it!
P.S. - Please don't electrocute yourselves.
Fisher's Shop I'm not normally the Safety Sally type (except at work, where it's my job to be just that), but I did notice that right away, and paused the vidjayo to come down here and point this out. I've burned up a 15 amp outlet doing that before. I hope others were nice about pointing this out, but I'll be heading back to the video now. ;-)
Cord looks to be only about 16 or 18 Guage wire. Not going to do it for 18 amp load. Danger ! Huge fire hazard !
Fisher's Shop Well you kind of made a mistake and you also have a safe installation. Technically, the motor is rated 18 amps at 110 volts. If your voltage is 120, then amps drop to 16.8. If your voltage is 125 then you are at 15.8. Next the amps on the motor are FLA or full load amps. This is the motor rating not what is required to do the work. The motors are typically oversized to engineered Hp required. Some comments below stated if you run the motor for a while you will have a problem. Not true. If you are running this on a 15 amp breaker and it is not tripping the breaker, then you are totally safe with the breaker, the conductor, the receptacle, the plug, and the cord. If you were to change the plug and the receptacle, (Code violation) as well if you changed the breaker and not the wire. As an engineer, we would have put in the 220 volt circuit and not changed it.
18a also needs a 12awg cord, or better 10awg.
not only you admitted you goofed, but accepted constructive criticism with Humility. my hat off to you. i Like, OLE!
I've watched a few re-wiring vids and found yours both concise and the clearest with a fun splash of humor!! (very hard to do!)
Thanks. Glad you liked it
Yes your video works, I would strongly recommend my friend provide 240 volt outlets for machines in this size class. 1. The 18 amp 120 volt draw on say a saw or sander, added to 18 amps on sawdust vacuum that needs to be running at same time, will kick a single 15 or 20 amp 120 volt circuit. Thus requiring another 120 v. circuit near by anyway. On 240 volts the 18 amp draw drops to 9 or less Amps, allowing for several benefits.
1. Fewer circuits, smaller wires, plugs, less heat generated. 2. A more balanced power draw off your power main, pulling equally from both legs, resulting in less less load imbalance , less chance of kicking breakers from other non associated things like lights, drills, grinders kicking should they be on same leg. 3. Finally a machine that runs a lot under heavy load (like a planner) will use less metered power drawing 9 amps at 240 than 18 amps at 120. Just the way meters count watts ! Balance is better.
Good video Drew. I can’t count how many time I’ve put a plug together and forgot to put that piece on first. Glad I’m not the only one. 👍
Almost as bad as soldering wires together and forgetting to slide the heat shrink on first...
I have one better . wire something up solder then look and go nice i forgot the heat shrink and have to undo the whole damn thing
Ack! Something very important! Bee sure to check amperage! The device plate says it will use 18 amps when wired for 110 volts. You would need to make sure to have a 20 amp plug and appropriate cord for that.
stop polluting the conversation with facts
@@nightstringers This is a very important fact. I just watched the video and was coming to make the same observation. I know, or hope, you are joking with your reply, but this is not something to be taken lightly.
It is a question of proportionality and inversely proportional.
The electrical power of the device must be equal in both cases....
@gdelectpower
I run an air compressor on a 15 amp circuit, I checked it with a kill a watt plug and found it was pulling 20 plus amps. It will run and do what I need, which is not a lot. But if I don't unplug it, eventually it will blow the breaker. Since the circuit has a freezer and a fridge, I don't leave it plugged in.
Well said and not knocking the video, but 18 amp on the tag=20 amp plug=#12 wire cord with 20 amp commercial receptacle with #12 wire in wall. Standard home receptacles are only 15 amps. Good video, I liked the part about water in bathtub....lol
I didn't even need to watch this video but it drew me in. The comedic way you explained things made me HAVE to subscribe. Look forward to watching some more!
Welcome aboard, Adam!
Idk if your comedic value is appreciated like it should but I for one appreciate it greatly
When I watched this I thought you did good cause I always forget the collar piece. And then the end showed me your human also. Good job
Oh my josh, I new this would be simple and I can't believe how many grumpy old men made this very simple process into a stupidly complex wire up! This video was so simple easy too follow and no grumpy old men mouth breathing giving a 5 min diatribe that ended in shaky camera work! Please make all instructional videos for everything!
Haha, glad it was helpful
Funny little video. I actually learned something too. Had no idea some machines could be rewired 110/220. Thanks for the tip!
Seriously mate you crack me up. I'm pretty sure I'll never do this and knew so before I watched it but as soon as I saw it was yours I had to watch as I love the commentary on your vids. Keep up the good work pal 👍🏻🤣
Thanks, Dave!
Priceless! Excellent video!
Great info! Checked out Kyle's CZcams and Instagram and followed both! seems like he has some nice work out there!!
Very interesting video on your wiring to 110v and the ease at which to do it. I don't have that problem as all my tools are 240v which is what we have in the UK, and batteries as well so no plug involved unless you call the charger plugged in then there is a plug involved ha ha ha. Keep these great videos and your talk overs coming, well done.
Barry (ENG)
I always appreciate your comments, Barry. Thanks!
Thanks Drew, NOW I finally have Life Purpose & Meaning! !! !!!
Something to remember when wiring the plug, Black to brass will save your ass.
Love your real world sense of humor... Very well done
Thanks!
I guess im not an expert. I tried to do that last step in the bathtub. Now im dead! Thanks a lot power utility company!
I DIED HAHAHAHAHAHA OLE!
You explained this very well. Thanks!
Great video, love the humor!
this was informative and hilarious!
Well done. That's a handy bit of information there. Did you get any treasures out of that storage locker that you are keeping for yourself?
I did actually. He had three bins full of various littler stuff, some of which I'll be keeping and some maybe giving away. One of the prized additions to the shop is a brand new Freud Dado Stack kit.
I might have to start watching, enjoyed learning something!
Simple video with some serious humor! I like it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
LOVED IT! Thank you for showing every step and explaining the process clearly. Bonus points for the humor.
+Lorna Elam Jackson thanks! Glad you liked it! 😀
I subscribed because you are helpful, witty, and quite funny with your smartass comments
Excellent video. Very informative and with personality.
Thanks, Brad!
Loved your video. So informative and easy to follow. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I think forgetting the collar the first time is part of the instructions. I've never read them, but it's how I wire every plug I tinker on.
If it doesn't have a collar I like to forget the shrink tube instead.
Good video quick and to the point
Well done! Funny thing I was just getting ready to run a couple 220v receptacles and change a few of my tools over to 220... Guess I'll just have to watch this video In Reverse now ;)
Haha, yup! Thanks, Mitch!
Don't feel bad, i have done that once or twice also. That was some nice equipment.
Thank you finally a straight forward video and explanation.
Very helpful and very smart, quiet funny. Thanks for the advice
guyut
This is the first vid I’ve seen from you and you instantly got a like and a sub
Thanks, Bobby, and welcome to the channel
Hell of good sarcasm but i like it down to earth and straight to subject 👌👌👌
Sooo, how do you like your "treadmill laundry rack" ???
I currently have the "weight-bench laundry rack"........
and, was thinking about *upgrading* !!!
Fun video. I love the humor. Subbed
Such clear diction. You should be on radio.
Thank you. Enjoyed the humor, and you have a nice voice. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video
That was fantastic my friend! Thank you for making this informative video and for making it so stupid easy to understand!!! Carry on …
Glad it was helpful
Love the video, definitely helpful and informative. Your narration is awesome and jokes on point you're absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂 I had to subscribe cause you made me laugh
Welcome aboard!
Really easy to understand love it thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Greg lol!!!!
I enjoyed the banter but been lookin for video like this for while!!
Glad you enjoyed it
@1:31 "However if you can perform this step with it plugged into an outlet then"...more power to you!
I like the humor in ur explaination and the self cursing u do!! Lol..
Ur voice is so calming and accent is so clear. U can narrate a story. This didnt feel like a boring electrical wires video... But a story for real. Thanku for the info tho.
Now I have a hair ironing appliance from USA which says 120v 60HZ. Im in pakistan and we have 220v here. So plz tell me which converter I can get for this and how much watts it should be. Thanks alot.
Will you be doing a video on your treadmill clothes dryer?
Spencer
Hey, I have one of them treadmill laundry racks!!
I love the This Old Tony style humor.
YAY! I'm not the only one that forgets about the collar ;) every single time... ;)
Very good! Thanks
Enjoyed it! I don't work for OSHA, so I thought the bathtub joke was a good one! ha
i did work for OSHA and still like it
Either forgot the collar or put it on backwards ... so many times! Yes I noticed the 15 amp plug when it really needed to be 20 or 25 amps, but then again I fail all the time when it comes to noticing the details in a puzzle.
LOL...i want to sue you..you just make my laugh explode
Thank you!
The last, outtake, is something that I would have done.
Bro this was great. I enjoyed this alot. Thanks
You're welcome, Ray! Thanks!
Fisher's Shop I'm thinking I just want to use an adapter for the electric range I've gotten. It's 220 but need to convert to 110. How would I go about using a simple adaptor? And by using an adapter will I damage the stove? 110 isn't it's designed power input
Great video brotha
Thanks, Dylan
Hysterically funny. Good job!
Loved the bathtub joke
Awesome video Sir👍👍🤘🤘👏👏
I cant stop laughing watching this kind of "comeDIY" .. Great video as usual... 😁
I see what ya did there. :)
Learned a lot
I think "forget to put the collar on" should be step one in all electric cord jobs... FUNNY!!!
Very informative and hilarious - kudos to you!!
Great teaching
Glad it was helpful!
thank you! 👏🏻
You're welcome!
You are my favorite CZcams woodworker. I always laugh and enjoy you videos. Keep it up!
Thanks, Joshua! I've been meaning to tell you... you're my favorite viewer!
I appreciate the humor 😂
The funniest tutorial probably 😂😂
Funny, Simple and easy to follow.
Glad you liked it
It all depends on what its spinning. I bought a clicker press, ordered it wired for 110v for the convenience of using what was in my garage. Problem was the press had a large cast iron flywheel on it which trips the 30A breaker on start up because it was drawing too much current. I had to run an extra line to the garage and rewire the motor for 220v. No fun.
A high start up current initial current surge probably draws 2-3 times more current on starting than in running use. Was it a capacitor stating motor?
Love the video. I have a 220 amplifier i would like to convert it to a 110. How can I get this done.
Perfect ty!
Perfect, explanation was clear
Glad it helped!
Thanks so much.Wish everyone would keep it simple for us slow people.But really thank you Sir
You are welcome
I was doing OSHA training while watching this : )
It's so special experience because I am from Taiwan and I am looking for "how to 220v to 110v" :)
Hubbell makes nice heavy duty plug ends
Thank you! That was very helpful. The comical comments were great too! =)
Glad you enjoyed it!
THANK YOU
Man I would love to have all that
Hey the video is really helpful, I just have one question, what do you plug the blue wire to??? Thanks in advance.
not blue-green wires are ground
“But if you can disassemble this plug with it plugged into the outlet… “
...more power to you!
Ahem....
(I really thought that’s what you were going to say when you started that sentence.)
Seriously, I’m glad you learned about the 15-amp plug on an 18-amp motor. And I hope you checked the wire gauge and ampacity, as has been mentioned.
If you notice the the plate it says 18 amps at 110v that's why it's recommend 220v so you only draw 9 amps ! There's a reason behind anything plus it's easier to use 2 110v breakers from the box to make the 220 outlet
That was FUNNN!!
well done
Hello Drew, another gem of a video as always. Every blokey bloke should have a neighbour like you. Just think of the mayhem.
Anyhoo, we here are so envious of you folk over pond Yoder, you have all the cool tools and man cave trinkets straight off the shelf. Typing this with a green tinge.
Yes we have 240v & 110v tools here but are we trusted with the fine art of home conversion? like heck we are! We are just about allowed to buy dangerous spinney things but that's as far as our health & safety executive will allow. Tools here are either one or the other and no messing. Next up. . . THE EVIL DADO STACK! lol. I'd swap my wife's grandmother for one of those. Seems we can't be trusted with those hellish things here, so our table saws come with stubs instead of arbors. Dados are illegal here. Much safer to keep gnawing away multiple times to get the job done, more chances for the limey Twits to hack a finger off.
Anyways, keep em coming we love your vidz this end of the tube.
Oh btw, I have an old 1930's trump arrestor if anyone wants one😋
Have a gr8 day y'all
Thanks Alec!! The first time I heard about the restrictions of dado stacks I didn't believe it. I had to do some research and see it for myself. You'd laugh... in this tool purchase that I just did to get all this shop equipment were 3 bins of smaller tools. In then were 4 dado stack kits. Wish I could mail you one. :) Thanks for the comment, Alec!
Thanks Drew nice thought but you'd have to put it in one of your very smart singed frames as I could only drool at it while hanging on the wall as it wouldn't fit my stumpy metabo saw.
I believe that, technically speaking, dado stacks are not actually illegal, it's just that it 's difficult to get them to comply with guarding regulations, stopping times etc., so the manufacturers abrogate their responsibility by making it impossible to fit one. I'm sure that if one of them could be bothered, they could do very well.
I'm feeling a little bit smug because I have a nice Freud dado stack which I fit to my Rigid table saw that I brought back from the USA, after living there for a while. I had to do what Drew just did, but in reverse - 110 to 220v.
Sorry Alec, but it's worth more than your wife's grandmother. Your first born, perhaps?
Hello Chris, thanks for the correction although I have read that they are,.Who knows what is fiction or fact these days on the web, but try buying one, that's another thing. Unless I'm looking in all the wrong places I can't even get a flat top rip blade unless I compromise in diameter and downsize or go oversize.
Anyways, looks like you're one of very tiny and very fortunate few who have the luxury of a decent versatile piece of kit. Probably wouldn't go to the first born but the rest of the family Is fair game. All the best.
nice information. thank a lot. go go.
Hola! 🖐You owe me lunch; I spit it all out with that bathtub joke 😂You need a disclaimer and a visual countdown when a zinger like that is about to be deployed to make sure we put down power tool, set the burger down, or hold off on that sip of drink. All kidding aside, thanks for posting this video. Yes, yes, yes, there are a lot of this and that and here and there, the comments below prove that. This video, for me, simply reminds us that not every task if Mt. Everest. Do your homework, videos like this helps, ask questions, and we'll find that many tasks are attainable. Great job 👏Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
Haha, thanks so much! Glad you found it funny and helpful!
Thanks it helps!
Nice !!!!
Can't tell you how many times I've wired the cord to the plug and forgot to put on the collar too.
Good video and has been pointed out your friend will double the load on these tools requiring dedicated circuits in most cases and a higher electric bill. Might have been easier to simply add 240v outlets?
In this case, he is renting his shop space so he doesn’t have that option, but you’re probably right.
The shop space he's renting will need to have 20A/120V outlets with 12 gauge wire 20A single breaker.,for the sanding machine. Adding 240V is doable long as the panel has the capacity for the added load and spake for double pole 240V breakers. Would have 15A/240 outlets/plugs 20A/240V outlets plugs depending on the electrical requirements of the machines. @@FishersShop
People are shocked when they find out I'm not really an electrician.
😉
You are the best
This video was very intrest
I love the bathtub joke ! Lmao
