There should be a name plate on the motor which shows the two wiring
configurations, for 220 v or 440 v. If in doubt I suggest you get help from
someone that knows about these things, say an electrician.

Judging from the size of the transformer (small) and the fact it outputs
110v, i'm pretty sure it only drives the coolant pump, so i guess its time
to pull out the motor and look at how to rewire the thing.

Thanks.

Take note that the current needed will double when you go from 440V to
220V, so use appropriate sized feed wires to the transformer, and you may
have to change your fuses also.
Does the coolant pump run from this transformer?
If yes, no further change is needed relative to the coolant pump after
changing the transformer. If no, you will need to rewire the motor for
220V.
Does the spindle motor run from this transformer?
If yes, again, no change needed after fixing the transformer. If no, you
will need to re-wire the spindle motor for 220V.
I cannot read the transformer plate. As another poster noted, this may be
only a control transformer, and not feed any motors.
