Default Changing tools from 115v to 230v...need switch

It's possible that you can use the one's you have if they are DPDT
(double pole double throw) as the amperage will be 1/2 of the 110 draw
when you switch to 220.


Actually, a DPST (double pole single throw) is all that's needed, and much
less expensive than DPDT.

Yes you are indeed correct. I submitted a second post correcting that
