Hi all,
There have been a few discussions lately about making chords for 240V machines by changing the connectors on a heavy gauge 120V chord that can be purchased.
Harbor Freight has a 50' 12AWG chord on sale for about $11 this week. Similar SJ cable is at least $0.60/ft at the Borg so this is a steal for the raw cable alone.
If you need to go this route, be sure to do the math to determine your maximum length for the current requirement. Failure to do so could result in motor damage or fire hazard. Don't forget the length of wire in the wall.
