That's interesting. I hadn't noticed that. I thought that was kind of bizzare for a 1 1/2 hp motor so I dug around and found their manual at:
In any case, even if it were wired for 220, it's a piece of cake to switch it to 110 -- just need a 20amp circuit to run it (not all garages have that though -- my old house didn't, it was 15amps and shared with the lights to boot!). But then the Crapsman would need 20amps too if it's 1.5 hp as well.

It's wired for 110 from the factory. And it's an honest 1.5HP, which is probably not true of the Craftsman. Yes the fence is a Bies clone, and it seems excellent so far, but I must admit I'm not an expert.
The 2HP "Z" version is pre-wired for 220.

Well, at least they didn't try to pass it off as 3HP (though they did drop in "3HP developed".
Go for Grizzly over Craftsman. At this price, the Gizzly is better.
