I don't think I am limiting myself at this point, both saws area capable
of
either 110 or 220 but maybe I'm missing something in all of this, aren't
the saws them selves the same except for the motor that is bolted to them
?
If this is the case, why is it a disadvantage to get one that will use
either voltage? I realize that most if not all of the 220v saws advertised
have 3 or more HP but under normal usage or better stated only
occasionally
cutting 8/4 or thicker hardwoods will the 2hp grizzly saw not be the same
saw that is delivered with the 3hp 220 volt motor or are there other
differences in the table saws beside the motor. I'm saying I'm not looking
into the 220 upgrade but if I do that the saw is going to get put off for
awhile longer and my thought is if I get the saw now that is able to be
switched from 110 to 220 then when I get wiring updated all I will have to
do is rewire the existing saw.


The kicker is the HP. When you change that 110 saw to 220, you will not get
any more HP.

You will wish for more HP, even with light cutting, and even more for the
tough stuff.

I finally got an honest 5 HP 12" saw, and I can not believe the difference
going from 3HP to 5 HP. Now go the other way. Ouch.
