is the grinder good to use outside the us, at a 240V?

I'm not sure - never used it on anything other than 120V, but my guess is that it would not work or this could also result in damage to the motor.

I would not chance it. I once took a simple white noise machine from US to Amsterdam - plugged it in and within 10 minutes it burned out. I think it was because of the current - too much for the motor so it fried. Wouldn't you have same issue with grinder - since it has a motor in it? I would think Makita makes a model for your power constraints. Regarding the grinder itself - I am very, very pleased with it. Excellent purchase - there were many cheaper that I could have bought but I went for quality and am glad I did.

Hi Amir this product is also available in a 220-230v + configuration. I have seen this exact model at a big name store for $110 US. Where ever you live you will find these tools, of course Amazon and America always have the best prices. otherwise you can simply buy a transformer 220 to 110v. a 1000 watt transformer is perfect for use all day.

All here are helpful but might confuse you. Straight forward answer. Yes you can use it 100-240V anywhere in the world. The adapter supports it. I don't know about those who said no. Maybe they got an adapter with 110V only or they think a US style adapter means only 110V. Mine is a US style two flat pins but it supports 100-240V. I got mine at Walmart. But a trimmer of this caliber should definitely support that and I think no matter where you buy it should have the 100-240v adapter included. So I think you're good getting it from Amazon.

No. Not possible. You need to find European version of the tool. I'll include link to the ebay item. If you won't be able to see the link, just go to ebay and type Proxxon rotary tool 220v. Here it is: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PROXXON-28483-High-Speed-Rotary-GRINDER-MOTOR-Collet-220Volt-CNC-SPINDLE-Drill-/360780416952?pt=BI_Tool_Work_Holding&hash=item54003047b8

The one I bought is 110-120 vac but I don't know if they sell one for 240V. Good Luck!!

Well it does have a 240v output on it and for most electronic items that would be fine in the U.S., as the actual end voltage could drop as low as 220 by the time it reaches the device, but I'd do some checking into what it is exactly that you want to hook up to it first as that would be the defining answer.

This isn't a plug in product. It attaches to a drill. So long as the drill YOU PROVIDE is compatible with 240V then you are fine.

I believe what you would need is the Meguiars G220, which I believe will support up to 240V. I found some information here: http://www.meguiars-online.co.uk/product/meguiars-g220-dual-action-polishing-machine/

It is 110V. I installed new granite counter-tops in my kitchen. I used this grinder to finish all the raw edges on about 80' of 1" thick granite (no bullnose) with diamond sanding pads from 50g to 3000g. The grinder did the job well and is still going strong. If you buy this grinder, I recommend putting masking tape over the speed setting switch (after achieving a good working speed). The problem is that my hand rested right on the switch while working and the speed setting kept changing.

I checked my owners manual and it states "This product is designed for use in the United States of America". The manual also says in the Specifications section "Power source: 120V AC, 60 Hz". I would think that it would not work on 240. Hope this helps.

On the back of the package it says 100-240Vac for worldwide usage, so I would say yes.

I think that YES. It will work.I bought it to use with Electric grinder with 200-watt motor, and it work perfect.

No, the charger is for 110/120 volt power. In order to use in a 240 volt environment, you will need to use a proper voltage converter.

100V ~ 240V means it works within this range. So yes, it can be used outside of the USA which normally are 220V.

110v, We have been very satisfied with this product, however the grinder needs to be cleaned regularly. About every 3rd hopper of beans and then you need to clean throughly.

This jig saw is for 120V 60 Hz with USA Grounded plug for US outlet. If you have the proper power converter, you could use this in other countries.

the adapter that comes with it is rated for 110-240volts and converts to 12v. My research says it can be used overseas.

You can get a 110v to 220v converter from an indian grocery store. It costs about 40 dollars. Make sure the wattage is enough. You cannot buy a phone converter and use it for a grinder :-)
