Larry/Michael,
Ha! I only wish my shop was 34'x26'. Your replies made me realize that I poorly named my attached picture. I should have called it basement layout, and indicated that the large...

All,
Finally setting up my basement shop as mentioned in my recent thread about lighting. Now, I'm in a quandary about the best location for my air cleaner. I have a Powermatic PM1200 that I...

Not to contradict Sonny, but according to 75 degree column of the NEC table 310.16 AWG 3 Copper will handle 100 amps, and you will need 8 AWG for the ground. I found the best deal at a local...

According to the JET wiring manual for the 17" drill press, the light bulb should receive 115V regardless of how the motor is wired. Of course it does require rewiring the light bulb if the motor is...
