    Thank you for all the help.

    The problem was that I was trying to use the actual ground prong on the plug. When testing with a meter and touching the ground and one of the hot receptacles the voltage readings were way off. The fix was to use the neutral as the ground and that gave 120V to each of the hot receptacles.

    Thanks again for all of your help, the machine is making chips now.

    I sounds like the Neutral and ground are not set up properly?
