110V vs 220V Power Tool Startup Time Tests
110V vs 220V Power Tool Startup Time Tests
I recently rewired my 1.75hp SawStop cabinet saw, my 2hp Penn State dust collector, and my 14″ Rikon Bandsaw each from 110 to 220v. I took a video of each tool starting up in both wiring configurations to see how much faster they start up when wired as 220v. All three tools seem to start up faster as 220v, as shown in the table at the end of the video. This is expected because with the higher voltage, less current is needed to be drawn to run the tool.
