220VAC vs. 240VAC Saw Motor S.O.T.

I thought it was intuitive that you would use an up and down 120 from the northern hemisphere, a down and up version from below the equator plus one more (from either hemisphere) as long as you don't activate it on a Tuesday. Does that explain it better?

This is idiotic. How could anyone believe such a stupid thing? Just buy an ordinary American blade and flip it around! Anyone who tells you different is just trying to rip you off.

The teeth will be pointing backwards, but that's fine. Just remember to feed from the back of the table saw, from the motor side for a contractor saw, cabinet and hybrids are even easier. (You'll probably have to chuck out the blade guard if you can find it, unless you have one of those ones suspended from above by a long arm. Those are easy to turn around.)
