On Facebook I am a member of a group called Woodchuckers. A day ago a fellow posted the following: "Laguna Revo 18/36 110 V --WARNING


"So excited, just received and set-up my Revo 18/36 110 V Lathe in my garage. Plug it in, and trip, there goes the GFI outlet. Come to find out that the 110 V model of the 18/36 will NOT OPERATE with GFI outlets. Also GFI outlets are code required for all garages. Nothing in the manual. Laguna has been of no help getting this resolved....Have talked with Laguna tech support multiple times. The issue is with the VFD Inverter. It is not compatible with GFI... "

I don't know the veracity of this fellow's claims but thought that I would post it should it be of value to the OP trying to figure out whether to go 120 or 240. Personally I would go 240 because of a slight power increase and because GFCIs are not required on 240 volt circuits.
