Hello,
I'm new to this forum and very much looking forward to getting involved. As many others I bought a cheap Chinese engraver on eBay. The problem is I bought it about 6 years ago and don't have a lot of the original documents and cords that were mailed. I'm in the US and so 110V is standard. When I received the CNC router, I remember it came with a power adapter, to go from the European style plug to US (I'm pretty sure it was a converted and not a voltage transformer).
I remember using this setup and plugging it into 110V using the adapter. The machine did run in one axis, but I didn't get the rest working due to software issues.
Now 6 years later I've lost the cables and adapter - and the machine is marked 220V everywhere. Both the spindle motor and control box are all marked 220V.
My question is does this machine possibly support both 110V and 220V? Or did they send me the wrong one for the US market and my machine only partially worked when plugged in at a lower voltage? If it's indeed 220V I'm tempted to buy a step-up transformer to go from 110V to 220V at the correct Wattage.
Thanks very much in advance for your help!
Paul
