Connecting Your Industrial Hobbies Mill to Power

Your Industrial Hobbies mill is wired for 220V single-phase operation. DO NOT attempt to run it on a voltage other than 220V single phase.

We highly recommend using a dedicated 220V 20 Amp circuit for your mill.

Because of the use of coolant, the use of a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is highly recommended.

Please Note:

Your Industrial Hobbies mill comes with a 110V plug on the end of the cord.  Please remove this plug, as it was never designed for the higher voltage.  Future Industrial Hobbies mills will not have this plug installed at the factory.

The biggest question you may have is whether or not the power cord with a 110V plug can take 220V.  The answer is yes, without any problems.  Wire/power cords are rated in 2 ways: Voltage and Amperage.

• Our power cords are rated for a maximum of 500V, 220v is only 1/2 of the maximum voltage.
• The cords are 3-conductor 14 AWG rated for 13 Amps, the peak motor draw is just under 10 amps leaving 3 amps of headroom.

Warnings and Precautions

Warning:  When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed, including, but not limited to the following:

Danger:  RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.  Connect only to a circuit protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
