This weekend I started cleaning up a Rockwell-Delta 28-365, band-saw that I have had for some time.
When purchased I saw the Band-saw run, the seller advised me that it may need some new wiring. The lead for the saw was very crunchy.
While poking around the junction box, I noticed what looks like a transformer to the left of the mag switch. The transformer is fed with two wires from L1 and L2. The plug, above, is fed with one wire in and one wire out. Back to the transformer. No Ground and neutral.
My question today is:
Should I remove the plug and transformer from the saw? I have plenty of 110v in the shop and don't mind adding an extra plug to connect a work light.
The transformer appears only to be there for the plug.
