That's been done forever by floor sanders and stuff like that. 220 is basically taking two 110 circuits. The only problem is you're limited to the ****** amperage of your 110v outlets, which is usually ---------- 15a.

Either that, or spend the ~10 dollars at a hardware store and make your own.

Uh, $130? I could make that in about 5 minutes with ---- out of my work truck for about $20.

1 double gang electrical box
2 3' pigtails (or 6ft for a better chance of plugging into 2 different phases)
1 220v plug of your choice



So it won't have the fancy light on it, but it cost $110 less. :1 I'm sure I could add a light for $1 or so.

The problem is that most rooms have one source.

Yeah, but they say to use an extension ciord. That should work out real well. 15a circuit through a 50ft extension cord powering a 220v device. :1

Probably has a high dollar capacitor and a safty shut off. Thats also proably the reason for the price.

without ground fault interrupters in the circuits.
That just negated half the circuits on any newer residance!
