It's hard to remember to put shrink tubing on first. It may not be very clear, but there is a piece of shrink tubing that is ready to slide down and shrunk. The plan is the use Gardner Bender Liguid tape, 3 coats, then slide the shrink tubing in place and shrink it. And also 3 coats over a 4 inch section of the cord where the repairs were made. --- End quote --- What do you think? |

If it's mains cable don't splice it, replace it. Your splices look really long. Unless length is an issue stagger linesman splices so there is never a possibility of shorting and individually shrink them. The advantage of these splices is they hold up to mechanical strength as well. Then use adhesive lined shrink. |

Okay. I noticed the ground wire is attached to the grinder itself. Isn't that supposed to go to the ground on the cable? :-) If a hot wire were to come loose and touch the metal grinder, then I would be eltro******. Andy |

"the ground wire is attached to the grinder itself", ok fine. --- Quote ---Isn't that supposed to go to the ground on the cable? :-) --- End quote --- What, the grinder? You just said it was. If not, what's the "that"? |
