Notice it is only in 1" x8 thread as well, certainly set up for the US market.
I wonder if they have really set it up for 240v or trying to hope the 220v US will work okJim Carroll

Probably the latter as they try and gauge response to the model down under. I think personally it has a spot in this market if they market it right.I wonder if they have really set it up for 240v or trying to hope the 220v US will work okInspiration exists, but it has to find you working. — Pablo Picasso

At my house I have 124 Volts. The 120 stuff accepts 115 to 130, the 240 accepts 230 to 260. All house and business wiring insulation is good for 600volts. Originally Posted by Jim Carroll

for more than you may want to know.So much timber, so little time.
