I received my spindle upgrade kit for my48x48 PRS Standard today, I finished making all the changes in the controller box as well as mounting the VFD and spindle etc.

All that is left is to hook up the ShopBot's main 220v supply line.
Here is the problem I am having, in the junction box there is two "hot" leads and a ground, but no neutral.
I am not sure how to hook the ShopBot's 220v line which has 3 leads- white, black, and green to the 220v supply in my shop which has 2 black "hots", and a green.

Has anyone hooked up their Shopbot in a similar manner?

Any advice or help is greatly appreciated as I need to get my bot up and running ASAP as I have a job I need to start.

Thanks!
Dan
