Thanks everyone, for all the great info. I've decided to go to an electrician. I got the name of one with 'glowing' references. Fooling around with 220 has pushed me beyond my comfort level. My 'current' system is not really upgradable. The saw will make a nice dead flat surface till I can get it fired up again. Maybe that old delta benchtop isn't so bad..

I, for one, would much rather work with 240v. It'll kick you off it sooner than 120v will. The tingle is more of a sizzle, so that's nicer, too. It'll wake your sleepy arse up in a hurry.
G'luck with Sparky.
Can you say "CHA CHINNNNNNNG!"? I knew you could.

Good Luck. Let us know how it turns our. Just hope that his rates aren't "glowing" too. :)
240V, at least in the US, is simply two 120V lines from the opposite sides of the transformer. It would be difficult to get across the 240V accidentally.
