Besides, the story doesn't tell whether the machine has a permanent

I know of zero CNC machines that operate from a line cord.

Which demonstrates how little you know. I've worked with several CNC
machines intended for secondary operations that could be moved around
the shop as needed. All ran off a line cord.

My Compact-5/CNC lathe (Emco Maier) operates from a line cord at
117 VAC (with jumpers inside for lots of other options since it was made
in Austria with exporting to many countries in mind.

Granted -- this is a small one -- 5" swing.
