Hi,
I'm living in Australia but I'm originally from the United States. I'm looking at a new lathe which would be a considerable investment, and it's kind of one of those "last lathe I'll ever need to buy" situations. Notice how I said "need" and not "want"...
Anyway, I would like to think that one day I could take it home and use it in the US, but, as many of you know, our power outlets are 110v and not 240v.
So, generally speaking, what is involved in converting this machine from 240v to 110v. Is it as simple as modifying the plug? I doubt it... But is it as serious as replacing the entire spindle power mechanism?
The lathe is a 2hp Jet with Electronic Variable Speed.
Let me know if you need more information. Looking forward to hearing from someone.
Cheers,
Luke
