G'day all, My Delta scroll saw is falling apart after about 5 years of moderate work. I have jerry rigged bits and pieces but it is time for a New one I'm afraid. The catch- Delta won't ship parts over seas and B&D Oz, don't have any yet and will not have in the foreseeable ffuture. Now if you think rocking horse shit is scarce, try finding a reasonable scroll saw in Oz. After reading posts on this news group and googling my finger of I have come to conclusion that the 20" Dewalt is one of the best value for money saws there is, but Not in Oz. Nobody here stocks them and B&D say they have no intention of importing them.
So, now to the nitty gritty:- Does anyone in Oz or NZ have a US machine that runs on a 110V to 240V inverter ?? If so are there any problems ?? Is there a method which allows the voltage of the motor to be changed from 110v to 240v ?? (I have noticed on some appliances there is a switch with both voltages marked) Lastly if I was to purchase a machine from the US is there any companies which I should stay away from???
Thanks for taking the time to read this post
If you reply, thanks heaps for your assistance
Kind regards John
