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

Let me check at the post office to see if I can send a hunk up that way without having to take out a loan at the bank I can cast up a block the next time I fire up the furnace, my little 4 X 6 band saw doesn't like the stuff.
