Hello David, Like many others, I am very enthusiast by the soon to be released Handibot. Would it be possible to provide us with a more detail regarding the tool specs of where could we find a specs sheet? I am starting this topic for everyone to ask questions about the specs. For example, I am interested in knowing the minimum watt required by the tool. I.e. Since I might need to use a voltage step up/down transformer for when I am changing continents, will the tool require a 1000w transformer or a 1500w transformer?

Thank you for the information. I will wait for the international model. Swapping routers sounds like a good way forward (+ saving weight in the luggages).

You want a 1000W transformer minimum, and 1200W if you want a little headspace.

If you'd rather go 220V, we do have a router that is a dircet drop-in replacement. The power supply is auto-switching... And everything else is properly specified for the 220V setup.

Our international version of Handibot should be for sale soon.

I'd skip the transformer if I were in your position. Heavy and crucial, just one more thing to keep track of and possibly drop on your foot. Whereas changing the operating voltage is a one-time hassle.

But the more I think about it the more I suspect ShopBot will be able to accommodate you with a 240VAC machine.]]> 0,0 Handibot ForumFri, 07 Feb 2014 17:37:24 -0500 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,243,243#msg-243 https://handibot.com/forum/read.php?2,243,243#msg-243
