Tormek T-8 Voltage and Frequency compatibility
Greetings,
I’m interested in buying Tormek T-8 and I’m located in Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, the official retail in my country (hawitools.com) doesn’t have any stock for a long time so I decided to order the machine online. The voltage in my country is 220-240V with a frequency of 60 Hz (Not 50 Hz), therefore I will be ordering it from Europe. However, I noticed that in the description of the machine, on almost all European retailers websites, that it works on 230V and 50Hz Only
My questions are:
Is the description accurate? i.e. Do you manufacture machines that work only on 50Hz?
If the answer on the above question is Yes. Does it harm the motor if I run it on 60Hz.
Please note that I’m asking about the 230v model (not 110v model).
Awaiting your kind response and advice.
Best Regards,
Bander

Yes you can run our 220-240V T-8 motors on 60Hz. They are 50-60Hz compatible.
The only difference is that the machine will run a bit faster on 60Hz instead of 50Hz. From approximately 90rpm to 105-107rpm.
It will not damage the motor at all.
