Does anyone know if you can put a 110v plug on a 230v drill so that the
drill would become 110v?


You need one of these:

I don't think that will help, that converts 240v to 110v - The OP needs the
other way round. The OP has a 240v drill and a 110v supply

Yes, well spotted! Sorry was reading what I thought he wrote.

(still at least doing it the way descibed has less potential for
pyrotechnics than sticking 240V into a 110V tool)

The OP needs a step UP transformer like this

(I am not the seller)

It is probably cheaper the buy another drill though.

You may be able to change the armature on the drill for one with 110V
windings.
