Any reason you don't want to go through the minor expense and afternoon job of running a new 220V outlet ?

Really, the best way to go.

Go to home depot, pick up a 220V breaker of the correct amperage, some wire and an outlet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I am not real firmiliar with them. I have used them along with the step down transformers. I remember the shop having an ACME brand that was in the range of $450.

i don't think that using a step up transformer is going to be the same as a standard 220 outlet

You can buy transformers here: http://samstores.com/Store.asp?CtgID=30

The price will depend on the amount of wattage that you want.

Your breaker box. Its simple, I did it myself for my compressor. Hasnt burnt down my shop yet either. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Edit; Supa beat me to it.
