I am considering getting a 220 volt table saw but have 220 volt

Is that a problem and if not are they comercially available? I have
never seen anything in 220 but am not use to the search.


I use two different pattern 220 volt extensions for machines that cannot be
moved close enough to any of the six 220 outlets I currently have. In many
cases, there simply is NO way to move the machine close enough to the outlet.
Short cords. Blocked outlets (with wood or other machines). Those are only
reasons.

I haven't found any commercially available 220 extensions, but there probably
are some. They're easy enough to make.
