Sorry folks for being dumb

I been reading on this newsgroup and the other working groups about running
220 verses 110. Does that mean I would have to have a 220 t-saw to run 220
or can I run my 110 t-saw on 220? does 110 convert in the breaker box (fuse
Panel) too 220?

I will be building a 30 X 40ish dog house for my playpen for an escape from
the real world in the spring and I know I will have 220 for my mig welder
because it is a 220 plug... and also 20 amp 110 plugs all over or can I do
better?

Sorry this is the deepest I know on elect.

I do want to run everything as efficient as I can and get the most power I
can with out popping breakers or running sluggish.

Please tell me what I do not know if you have to time.

Don,
if your equipment is already wired for 110 then I would leave them
alone. Typically 220V would be used when your equipment is rated
2-3HP or above. Your TS is probably 1 1/2 HP and could be run on
either 110 or 220 but, as I said, there is marginal benefit to wiring
the 1 1/2 HP motor to 220.
