Home Improvement Asked by Tristan Ryer-Parke on April 13, 2021
I have bought this spindle for use on my cnc router.

I have contacted the company to see if the spindle will run on 240v 60hz (American) and the answer is yes.
I have a NEMA 5-50 welder plug in my shop right next to my CNC which supplies 240v.
I am wondering if it is OK to run this spindle off of the outlet and if so what adapter/wiring should I use?
Nope, you must put a 240V 15A plug on the cord. (NEMA 6-15).
Then, install a 15A/240V circuit with NEMA 6-15 receptacle(s)...
or a 20A/240V circuit with NEMA 6-20 receptacle(s) (which will accept 6-15)...
or a 20A/240V circuit with 2 or more NEMA 6-15 sockets (e.g. duplex recep).
Trying to re-task that 50A welder circuit to serve that purpose will be much more trouble than it is worth, and would be a one-way operation (meaning you could not plug 50A appliances into it anymore). Just run a new circuit.
You could look at fitting a 240V-only subpanel where the welder socket now is. You can put any number of 240V-only circuits ranging from 15A to 50A. (you cannot use more than 50A of them at one time obviously)>
