I bought mine at Réno-Dépôt. If I remember well, Rona didnt carry the Makita at the time. Try asking at the service center if you can order it, at either store.

The one I was looking at was rated at 50 Amps max. so I guess that means I will go with the 230V and have an outlet put in.

RD, maybe you havent noticed but people on this forum are not big fantasy fans. Some are but it tends to go more towards historical accuracy.
