I've always been under the impression that a breaker's purpose was to protect you from a circuit overload (aka to stop such events like wires burning in your walls and setting your house on fire). I...

Excellent. This sounds slightly cheaper then buying a seperate relay and connecting it to a pushbutton. I think a 40amp might do the trick. I'm going to have to double check what I have going out to...

hmm my 220v line that comes into the garage is 3 wire cord (black, White, Grnd).

To Chris' point the black and the white each carry 120v; to completely cut the power wouldn't I need a knife...

Well I've been building my workshop steadily over the last year or so in my detached 2 1/2 car garage and I started to think about machine safety. We have a fair amount of kids in the neigborhood and...

Well I was going to chime in but it looks like the nail was hit right on the head here. I have a detached 2 car garage myself and I made these same electrical updates. I have a 3HP dust collecter a...

Hey everyone I'm in the market for a spray gun(s) but i don't even know where to get started. I'm hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction.

I'm looking to use the...

I believe it's a Hybrid although its not fully enclosed on the bottom in the front and back.

George,
The motor is set under the table and not out the back. I don't know if Delta...

Well I've been building a shop in my two car garage slowly for the better part of a year. I've re-run electrical, lighting, built work benches and sunk my planer and Router into my work table. I've...

Well I want to thank everyone for all the responses I appriciate all of the feedback with the different view points.

Ben,
I see what you mean and this is actually the exact reason I...

Let me start off by saying hi since i'm new to the boards. I'm just getting into woodworking and i've just "finished" building the shop that i'll be using to renovate my old 1903 Village Colonial.

Like meantioned before aslong as the power isn't on while its sitting in water you can probably save most of those tools. Cleaning with denatured alcohol was a great idea also (provided you can't...

Well, im by no means an expert however I just installed a new 1.5 hp TEFC motor in a Delta Bandsaw. I chose to wire it for 220 because the Amper rating was 20 for the motor and I wanted to avoid...
