Reply:lolthere is a switch on the back for 110/220.....so say someone reaches back there to turn it off and accidentally hits the wrong switch....probably would have been smarter to just use a pigtail like everyone else since the plugs are different anyway and you still need the adapter.. or to put the power switch on the front and voltage switch on the backTorchmate 2x2 CNC with Flashcut CNC controlsHypertherm Powermax45 Esab ET220i Razorweld 195 MigRazorweld 200ac/dc TigTormach 770, Tormach xstechRazorweld, Vipercut/Vipermig, SSC Foot Pedal Dealer

All three seem to be near identical (with more accessories at increasing price). The 170 in particular looks to be a 140 with the only difference a 240V cord and including a pigtail cord accessory to plug into 110, and a 120/ 240 switch. The 200 has slightly better rated power/duty cycle. That could just be marketing bs and maybe a bigger fan.What does that third knob for Inductance do?HF MIG-180 with all the mods.Grizzly H8153 Stick/Tig Pulse 130/160.Wards PowrKraft AC-230.

Reply:>Cmon guys, power switch on front, it makes a difference!I have heard that they do it because over in Europe, it is the law (for some reason) and they make these machines to be sold all over the world.  Supposedly the Vulcan series was designed specifically to be sold in the US so they put the switch on the front.

Reply:From what I’ve read it’s not that the switch needs to be in the back, it needs to be within so many CM (inches for us Americans) of the power input.I'm not a pro, I'm just having fun!
