Hello,

I've asked about using US power tools in the UK before and the general feeling here was that it was OK.

I understand that the Uk site transformers supply 55 volts on both live and neutral but am I right in believing the US system is 120v live and 0v neutral?

Someone suggested that the saw would only be running at 2/3rds. efficiency and someone else said the motor would eventually be knackered.

So the question is would it be wise to get one of these - http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_In...110volt_Convertor_Transformer/index.html

Which one would I need for a saw rated at 13amps?

Thanks
