A 120V-250V step up transformer was delivered late yesterday. 26 hours after ordering. There is some advantages to living within an hour of Toronto. Appears to be a quality build and it turned on and produced 236V from my 120V residential line . $87.99CAD delivered. Wow!
I left the iron on the same full throttle setting and in 5 minutes, it was registering 220C. Five more minutes and the paint was smoking and measuring 336C as I unplugged it. The workshop stinks. I left for work without airing it out and my wife is displeased:(
I’m thinking that with the additional horsepower going into this iron that it might maintain tighter temperatures during use.
