To All Who Weighed In - Thank You For Your Advice

[Howard Rosenberg]

Hi all -

After looking very closely at the incremental genefits I'd have gained from switching my CS out for a hybrid, I phoned my buyer back and told him I'd changed my mind.

Needless to say, he was mighty disappointed.

It seems I'll just wait for all the ducks to line up properly (220 AND space) and make a conclusive, dramatic change at the right time and not drive myself crazy further.

Many thanks to all of you.

Good decision Howard! I trust that you will have your dream shop some day. In the meantime, I know of a shop near to you with 240 power and a cabinet table saw that you are welcome to use any time.

Same call I made Howard - Hybrid was just not enough of a bump up over my tuned-up contractor saw to make it worthwhile...

Then LOML told me to "just get the saw I wanted" so the cabinet saw is here!

Last saw I'll ever need to buy....

(like I needed this one:D )

Is there a real difference between 220V and 240V? I was under the impression that 220, 230, & 240 were actually just different versions of the same thing and that most motors will operate on anything between 220 and 240. I do know that at 208 you may have to change some wiring in the motor.

My understanding is the the same as yours.

You are correct.

125/250V is the typical working rating found on plugs and receptacles
120/240V is what the line voltages are supposed to be
115/230V is the usual rated operating voltage listed on motor plates
110/220 is an outdated reference to the old line voltage standards

In practice, the terms are used interchangably.

On the original post, I had mentioned something about the voltage/wiring required for the 1 3/4 HP motor.............

I posed the question to the Delta Tech Support folks and here's a cut & paste from their e-mail back to me:


"Thank you for visiting the Delta Machinery website.
You will need a 20 amp time delay circuit."

Hope that clarifies it for everyone..............
