Default 60 cycle appliances outside the US

The voltage issue is fixed easily, but the 50 cycle power will cause 60
cycle transformers and motors to run hot. Not a good thing.. I would
agree that getting new tools is the most reasonable way out. Also,
consider the issue of shipping weight, etc. Additionally, there is the
metric issue versus inches.
