So I thought I had everything worked out in my shop when I moved in. I
wired all my 220s and 110s, etc, but today I picked up a free 30gallon air
compressor with less than 20 hours of use today (stealth gloat). The
compressor can be 220 or 110 but I think it's currently setup for 110. Only
my 110V DC stands alone on its own circuit. Even my TS and BS share a 220V
circuit.
I want to run a dedicated circuit to this compressor (plenty of space in my
shop sub panel) but I'm not sure how to approach this one. I put OSB on the
walls of the shop so I can't simply use a drywall keyhole saw to get access to
my panel. I'll probably surface mount the conduit. Should I remove the
sheet of OSB to run the circuit to my panel?
It is already wired for 110V but can do 220V. Should I switch it? I don't use
a lot of air tools in my shop, but this compressor will be great for HVLP.
Thanks,
Paul
