Use a proper 220V plug though so no one plugs in something they ought not
to.
Friends of ours bought a home that had been occupied by some Asian folks
previously and fried a new microwave oven the first time they plugged it
in.
Seems the previous folks had switched some of the kitchen outlets to 220V
but left the normal outlets in place.

Wire a receptacle 220 volt. You'll be feeding the motor 60 Hz, not 50,
so it will run a little fast, but I don't think that will matter too much
in a grinder.
We have several Italian appliances from living there, I wired one outlet
on the kitchen island for 220 so we can use them. Have a sewing machine,
iron, electric griddle, cell phone charger, all work fine.
