LazarusDB Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Hi, I just got a new Grizzly table saw and it comes with a 6-15 type plug. The plug on the outlet I have (installed by previous homeowner) is a L6-30. Can I simply swap it out with a 6-15 to match to plug on the table saw? Thanks.

As long as the amperage and voltage match up then I don't think you should have a problem. I've switched out of alot of 220 plugs over the years for a twist lock style. The biggest issue is whether or not the wiring is the same. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazarusDB Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 There is a 20amp breaker in the panel dedicated to this one outlet. This is the replacement outlet I bought and the specs from the Grizzly manual... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minorhero Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 the outlet is the part you needed to worry about. So looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tom King Posted August 29, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 It doesn't hurt to have either part rated for more amperage than you need. One thing I do with stranded tool tails is to "harden" the ends of the individual conductors where they go under the lugs with rosin cored solder. For whatever reason, just twisting the stranded wires under the lugs will loosen at some point in the future. I've never had to redo one that I've soldered the ends on. I can't count the number of times a plug has gotten too hot from the connections getting loose with just stranded wire alone in there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
