What about 100V for Japan?
- mdaniel 2y agoI had no idea that was a thing - I guess the great thing about standards: so many to choose from :-( That being said, to the very best of my knowledge (all 30 minutes of surfing around their project site :-D ) they only recommend the Dewalt routers, but I'd bet it would work just fine with whatever local router you could get at your Japanese hardware store that is already set up for 100V
- hatsix 2y agoThe Dewalt recommendation is pretty strong. The router needs to be the right size to be clamped into the machine. There are some people on the forums who have had luck adapting a proper CNC cutting head, but you won't find that down at your local hardware store.
- numpad0 2y agoIt's just a cheap brushed motor, it'll run at 100V just fine...
- buildsjets 2y agoIt’s 2024. You can buy a voltage/phase converter off of aliexpress and convert any random input voltage and phase to any random output voltage and phase for a pretty trivial expense. I’m using a 5kW one to run a 208v 3 phase motor off of 220v one phase in my shop, it cost maybe $100 or so.
- ranger_danger 2y ago> It's 2024 Not sure what you are implying with that. Not everyone is an electronics expert.
- buildsjets 2y agoIt’s far past time to become one, or to be left behind.
- ranger_danger 2y agoDo you also expect people who mow lawns to be intimately familiar with how an engine works internally? Personally I don't think this is a realistic expectation of the majority of the population in any way.
- Suppafly 2y agoConsidering it uses a readily available off the shelf router, you can presumably get the Japanese version. I suspect the Japanese version is probably using the same motor as the US version.
