Shopsmith overseas - 220v 50Hz

The Speed range of the SS according to everything I have read is based on the 60Hz power transmission system. What difference in speed would one expect when the transmission here in NZ is 220V ac 50Hz? Do I have to divide by 60 and multiply me 50 to get the correct RPM?
Any ideas please?
Thankyou
Sandy:confused:

The 50Hz speed chart is listed in PTWFE 4th edition pg 12.

Yes that's me and my pipes.

I play with Elgin & District and the R.C.M.P. "C" Divison pipes and drums up here in Montreal, Canada.
