I am not claiming to be an expert, but i have seen similar thoughts such as this: "since you have two wires carrying half of the amps, the wear on the switches are less, the voltage drop is less, the lights dim less, and it balances the electrical load. There is less heat, and wear on the...

Stuart - I have read that the motors will last longer. Plus they draw a lot of amps on my 120 circuits. Eric

I want to convert my band saw and jointer to use 240 volts. I have the wire diagram for the motors and have no questions on that. The manual says that for 120 v, I should use a 5-20 plug, which is what it came with. For 220 v, it says to use a 6-15 plug. My 220 circuit is 20A so I will use a...
