I got this idea in another thread somewhere, I believe credit goes to Stacy Apelt.
I got some feedback from my brother, who has experience wiring up switches and motors and such.
It is 120V.
The drive pulley on the grinder was a slight problem, because even though it was labeled as 3/8" bore, it was about 1/32" smaller than that. After carefully filing out the bore, I was able to tap it onto the shaft and tighten down the set screw. The shaft has a flat spot for the set screw.
Result: it spins slower and much more smoothly than it did in stock form. It might actually be a pleasure to use now.
