Hi all,
I would like to learn more about routers with the intention of buying one in the future but I have a question about the voltage rating on some models.
The shops in the UK seems to stock routers with either a 230v rating or a 110v rating. Looking online I found that the 230 is for domestic use, while the 110 is for use on a building site.

My question is: Can you use the 110v at home? Would there be any problems? Is it less powerful?

Also, choosing a voltage seems a very important decision so why can i not find ANY information about this online or manufacturers websites?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the long post, or if the answer seems obvious.

You can happily use a 110v machine at home, but you'll need the hefty transformer that goes with it!
Unless its for commercial use, stick with the 230v model.
