I would only change if you are blowing fuses or tripping breakers on the
115v 15 amp circuit. Otherwise, no real difference. You can normally run a
true 1.5hp motor on 115v 15 amp, and it will only trip the breaker if you
start to stall it.

I have a craftsman tablesaw, that is currently wired up for 115V. i
have the 220V line already setup, without a 220V recepticle when i
wired up the garage/shop.

is it worth rewiring the motor for 220V? i've read that it doesn't
matter if i rewire the motor, and i've also heard it creates more HP
at the 220V.

Also if i do go about rewiring this motor, would i need to pick up new
wire (3 or 4 wire?) and a 220V Switchbox, as well as a 20-30amp 220V
recepticle correct?

I'm green to both electricity and woodworking. so help is always
appreciated.
