In my looking and learning phase of planning to obtain a vertical mill, I see that some new ones come pre-wired for 120v, but can be easily changed to 240v. I assume that's because most folks buying that size(hobby) already have 120v, and may not want to re-wire for 240v.
Is there any difference in the way a motor performs on 120v.vs. 240v? I realize the amp draw is twice, but does that translate to cooler/ warmer operation, or is one way smoother running than the other? In other words, would there be an advantage to using 240v instead of 120v?
I'll save the 3 phase vs. single phase questions for another time.
Thanks,
