I have a 30 amp 240 v circuit for my table saw. It is wired with 10-4 cable
(white, black, red, ground).

I'd like to add a 120 v outlet for a router attached below the extension
table.

Electrical question:

Is it permissable/advisable to tap into the junction box (actually a phase
converter for the 3-phase motor) to add a 120 v outlet for the router? i.e.
use 1/2 of the incoming voltage (white, black, ground).

I would not be using the table saw & router simultaneously.

Thanks,
Eric
