Let me preface that I “can” do it right I’m just being cheap and lazy. My new to me lathe is wired in 220 no neutral. It came with an articulating 110v lamp. The previous owner just had it plugged in to a wall outlet. The way I have it orientated that’s not really feasible.
The two easy options are an extension cord hanging around (not what I really want to do). And the real question here, how wrong will it be if I used the ground supplied to the lathe and added a 110 box for the lamp?
I know this against code and unsafe but can someone explain why I shouldn’t and what the potential scenario is that would lead to the unsafe situation?
