Home scale diving arm?
I'm sorry this is a likely repeat, but I did look in my history and came up empty.
I thought I recalled a diving arm/Artofex style mixer that was suitable for the home - many sizes, in fact, that would work as a substantial mixer for heavy-duty home use.
It wasn't the Sunmixer (is this right name?), which iirc is a spiral mixer. Not an oblique or fork mixer, though maybe it was a fork I was looking for originally.
A true diving-arm mixer. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks.

Take a look at this one. Two of my friends have it and both love it.

Ha! Crossed in the mail. Thanks Mariana. I actually wrote to them and got the following reply:
Dear Paul,
I would like to thank you very much for the interest shown in our products.
We don’t have yet an importer in USA because we are not UL/CSA approved yet.
Our mixers Miss Baker are working with 230V, 50-60 Hz.
If you are not in a hurry we will keep you updated in the coming months.
Thanks and best regards"
Here in the U,S., It looks like the only way would be to buy direct, and get a current converter - right?
A standard 220V outlet (like for an oven or a clothes dryer) should be all you need since it is ok to run on 60 Hz. You may want to ask for a wiring diagram to be certain, and you do have to make sure the plug and outlet are wired correctly. The color coding for wires is different for Europe compared to the US.
I’m also interested in a dive arm mixer so I’ll be curious about your progress.

OK, wasn't aware of that, thanks Brad. I'll keep updates as I look more into this.
Paul,
Here is a comparison of European vs. US electric circuits. The US 220v is 4 wire but European is only 3 wire. Some kind of black box adapter may be needed. Sorry for the false hope.

Oh, no worries, thanks Brad. I am just foolish enough to think I can do some welding, for noble purposes like building a 20 gallon brewing system.
But I openly acknowledge I'm an idiot to most things technical, electrical most of all!
That looks like factory quality to me!
Lol, thanks my friend This was "Ugly Betty II." She performed beautifully, but my god her maker truly sucked as a welder. You should have seen "Ugly Betty I." :o!
It seems to me that you could simply use the 2 lives to supply 240 volt. I'm sure this is what most appliances will do. Using both lives and the neutral will give you a 3 phase supply and I don't think there will be too many 240v 3 phase appliances.
Alternatively, if it was more convenient, you might be able to use an auto-transformer to convert the 110v in the kitchen to 240v.
PS: Miss Baker does not come cheap! There's a bit of info on the Sourdough School website.

Thanks for the info, Lance. And thanks for the link to the School - never come across them before, looking forward to reading on.
