It is made by Central Machinery and is smaller than the 34706 reviewed by Maxwell Smart 007 in Product Review. This light weight unit fits my budget for shipping to Singapore.
I intend to purchase the above for my pen turning. The MT1 suits all my accessories I have. My question is Voltage and cycles. Singapore is 220 volts and 50 cycles for single phase. I have a heavy duty step down transformer 220/110 for my 110 volts 60 cycles bandsaw and no problems - more than 12 years in use. However, I am not sure if the lathe which is VS would function with 50 cycles as it is designed for 60 cycles. Any advice please.
Thanks.
