I've got a bench grinder with black,Red,an green I found a plug with black,white,an green can these wires be connected together to make it work?thanks for your Time
Hello Kenny What you are saying is you have a plug with wires on there already and it have Black, White and Green? Green is the Ground wire and it will connect to the green wire on your bench grinder. Black will go to Black on your grinder - it is the hot wire. This leaves Red to white wire on your plug. NOTE: is the wires on your plug the same size as your bench grinder wire or larger? If the plug wires are smaller - then go buy just a plug and connect the grinder wires directly into the plug. Green to Ground green screw or round terminal. Normally Black wire goes to Brass screw = both words start with the letter "B"
