Hi Dallen, I'll take a look at the material you suggested. The block is actually 1.25 deep and wide by 1.75 tall. I loosened the gibs a little and its not as bad now.
I just tried turning the shaper on and let some magic smoke out! I knew I shouldn't have trusted the wiring but I don't really know enough to question it. After having a look the PO has attached the neutral wire to ground which I'm pretty sure isn't right. I checked my wiring and I have 220 across the hot wires and 120 between both hot and neutral.
Based on this wiring diagram the hot wires should go to 1 and 3 and the neutral to 2? I have unplugged the shaper for now, I'm hoping the breaker saved the motor from too much damage, there wasn't much smoke
