Several, stop by with some of your local brews and you can pick through them...Anyone have a 20 220v plug?
˂--- closest icon I could find. there isn't a 'cringe' one...When I got my mill, and didn't have a plug yet, I stripped the wires off and wired it directly to the line, you know, like a real machinist would do as the electrician shakes his head.
I may have. What NEMA number do you need?Anyone have a 20 220v plug?

It does not have a reverse switch so I think it’s good to go.

Not to further distract, but...have you considered upgrading your switch gear to allow forward/reverse operation? I'm in the same position with my Craftex mill/drill. Truth be told, the primary advantage I can see is left-hand drilling (to remove stuck bolts, etc). Probably not for tapping as my mill doesn't have a sufficiently low speed to make that feasible.

As per usual Ulma,you went the extra mile to help.here is a picture of how it would look , i added pixelated red jumpers to illustrate their positions for 220v operation

if i'm correct, the motor will turn in the correct direction.
if the motor runs in reverse direction, move the jumper from T4,T5 and move it from T4 to T1
NEXT PROJECT (suggestion):I have yes, just haven’t done much more than that.
I have a Square D reverse switch on my lathe which would be perfect for the mill.
Speed-wise a DC motor and controller would be nice. And that would also allow for reversing too (I think)

Keep your eyes peeled for a treadmill. Treadmill conversion time!
