I am looking at a new Bosch mitre saw and have been doing some research which includes prices. The reason for the question is that the model of saw I am considering (Bosch GCM 12 GDL) is available in 240v and 110v. The 110v version is approximately £100 cheaper from some suppliers. I am only going to be using the saw at home, so site regulations do not apply. I already have a 110v 3.3kVA transformer, which I was given to me by a builder who did some work for me. Are there any advantages/disadvantages with 110v over 240v, other than the obvious one of having to lug the transformer around? I have read that 110v tools have better motors, ie. more heavily wound armatures. Do anyone know if this is true? Any help or advice is gratefully received as £100 is a lot of money. Thank you in advance
