RCM, on the other hand, is sure to have it.

Can I run a 240v receptacle and a 120v one off the same breaker? Sized
appropriately, of course. Say a 2-pole 20A breaker, 3-wire 12ga cable,
and 20A receptacles, like this:

P1 ________________

N ........... 240v receptacle

It looks OK to me, but one never knows what esoteric considerations the
NEC might make.

Thanks,

I've done it but we never use both outlets at the same time for high
current demand. If you need both to supply high current at the same
time, do it differently.

I've done the same often in R&D, especially on a 240V powered cart
where I might want to use a drill motor or grinder. Which doesn't
happen while the 240V is in use. A welding cart could be similar.

I've seen workbenches plugged into 240 volt welder plug with a small
sub-panel to "fuse" the 110 outlets as well as the 220 20 amp outlet
for the table saw/jointer/RAS etc.
