Hi Guys,

I am toying with the idea of adding 220 v to my garage, primarily because I want to get a bigger lathe. I know I would have to hire an electrician to do this but wanted to get a sense of what I want and what cost might be before calling one.

My breakers are in my basement near the corner which would be closest to the garage but not under it. Wire run would be somewhere near 30 feet min to the closest spot the lathe could go. I am not confident I even have room for another circuit in the box. Also the garage is finished and insulated so it might make running the wore more complicated.

The main line does come in not too terribly far from the garage, would it be better to run an outside line and then have it come into the garage and add another box there? From there could do conduit over the drywall to where ever I want to put the lathe?

Any thoughts on cost, could this be kept under $500?
