Guys,
I have a one car garage which is my wood working and hobby shop. It is equipped with usual 110v, but it is not powerful enough to run several tools on that wire simultaneously. It is a big drawback for me. Let say I can not use router or table saw together with my shopvac. Putting additional line from main house panel will cost quite a bit. I poked around and found unused 220v socket in my utility room. That room is adjacent to my garage and it is just matter of making a whole in the wall to get into garage. That line is high amperage as usual, so I though to use it for my power tools. All of my tools are 110v, and since all my work is as a hobby I do not plan to by ones running out of 220v.
So my question is, can I use 220v to run my regular tools and how to do it? You thoughts?
