220V power tool circuit on existing subpanel

[Davemill]

My workshop subpanel is powered from two dedicated 110V 40A breakers off the main panel 100 feet away. The subpanel has adjacent open breaker slots available. The four existing 110V 15A breakers supply lighting and outlets.

Can a 220V circuit be added to the subpanel for a new power tool? The tool is rated at 220V, 1Ph, 7.5A.

Thank you.
