Not only that, as you are looking at moving back to Japan, the prices in the US for the Festool stuff is about 40% cheaper than here in Japan
Basically from Osaka South, the power is 100V 60 Hz, from Osaka North (including Tokyo) it is 100V 5 Hz.
Yeah, can you imagine........
For tools with universal motors, everything I have from there works here, just a bit slower, induction motors, are not recommended.
Cheers!
Boy, that is interesting, having two different power systems in the same country, no less. When the tools run a little slower on the 50 Hz, do they run any warmer, or do you notice any difference? I have noticed on "Some" motor instructions that they give a Minimum voltage for operation, (usually 115 v, or maybe 110 v, IIRC).
