I’m moving to Philippines and would like to be able to use my tools there. They don’t have 110 volt electricity like here.

Lisa asked:

I went to a steel fabricator but I wasn’t able to catch all the descriptions of the tools used for cutting, welding, drilling holes, etc.
(1) Is this an oxy torch or a welder? It cut through heavy steel. (http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/7809/dsc00995o.jpg)

(2) What is this called? I know it cuts through steel too. (http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/39/dsc01021d.jpg)

Thanks.

Power Tool Amperage Ratings?

Harvey asked:

Ok, I was shopping for a Mitre saw and I noticed that most of the tools there (mitre saws, table saws, etc…) were apparently “15 amp” devices. But this isn’t possible because at 120v my new mitre saw would have to have something like a 5 HP motor. And that’s simply not the case.

My best guess is that they are trying to indicate you can use the saw on a standard 15 amp circuit.

What am I missing here?

P.S. I haven’t tried it yet, I will this weekend. If it does somehow draw 15 amps I’ll be really surprised, and I’ll be without a saw because I don’t have a higher amp circuit running outside.
Here’s a link to a cheap ryobi saw on homedepot.com. Even it’s labeled as 15 amp even though it’s marketed to the home user. And there’s no way that’s a 5 hp motor.

Kitty asked:

Ok then, where can you find them? I can only find ones that connect to the 240v supply and step down to 110v. The power tools I have all have a 3pin plug, but can’t be used on this new site.
