Re: Mark 7 110 vs 220 performance?
In my experience thus far using my two powerpro's is that the belt slipping seems to trump lack of power. I have yet to come even close to slowing the motor but I have slipped the belts.
So I have to wonder if 220 really does anything for you if you can't use it?
I guess if you have it use it but if it adds cost to your shop maybe it isn't worth much if anything. Just my observations.
Obviously I have mine running 120 and never 220 since I don't have 220 in the garage and don't think I ever will unless I find a very good reason to pay for it.

Re: Mark 7 110 vs 220 performance?
Another interesting question might be for those that have have had (or not) an RPS error how old is your machine? Mine arrived in January 2013. I run it on 110V and have never had an error.everettdavis wrote:I would like to ask a follow-up question:
For all those who run Mark 7 PowerPro's on 220v, are any of you seeing the same sort of RPS errors that others have mentioned in 110v systems?
