No RPS problem seen - 3 years on 240V receptacle with power pro.

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.

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?

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.
