Incra Router Table - Too Much?

[Holmz]

For you guys worried about finding a 230v router, couldn't you just wire up a 110v outlet in your shop? It sounds like the op is building a stationary table for use in a shop. Are your electrical panels different from ours because we have 230v coming in from the meter and then it gets split at the panel depending on how you wire it.

You may have to manually turn on your dust collector but it may be worth it to get the lift and router motor you really want.

It may be possible in the UK as (I believe) it is a push pull like US 220v.

In the rest the worth centre tap of the transformer is not tied to ground, but is on the return so it is 230, neutral, ground... Not 115v/0-degrees, 115v/180-degrees, ground.

And the Incra lift is not tailored for exo-US routers.

It is easy enough to use 110v in UK, it is used a lot by tradesmen and it is usually run off a simple transformer.
