I know Mafell sells their tools in the UK market with the motors wired for 110/120v. The hertz is obviously different than American power supplies, but I did a deep dive on this last year and couldnt?ascertain whether the 10hz difference makes a damn bit of difference. They run a bit quicker on the US power, but unless you are running a saw for hours on end, it doesnt seem like you are overheating the motor or damaging it. Lastly, I saw images of guys that took apart their Timberwolf imported Mafell tools and the motor plates were marked "110/120v and 50/60hz". I think Mafell warranties their tools for 3-5 years, and i imagine they wouldnt stand behind that warranty if they knew their motors would cook on north american power supply. In a year, i havent noticed any issues using the tools on my residential power.?

Without Timerwolf Tools massive price hike, i think Mafell's products are comparable to Festool's pricing. The part that throws the balance out of whack is the NA price hike. Here is a real quick price comparison of the 85 track saw. Timberwolf is $1,670 before tax. UK outfit is $1,216 before tax. Timberwolf wont warranty your Euro purchased Mafell tools, so if you have an issue you are on the hook for shipping it overseas. Buyer beware on that front.?

Fortunately, Timberwolf Tools will import any Mafell tool into North America, so there's no NAINA syndrome like there is with Festool. Like you say though, not sure if we'll see a 120V version....?
