Hi Guys
I am getting the shop ready and have a few questions:
1. I am getting the electrical circuits put in on Monday. I am adding 3 Dedicated 20 amp 110v and 1 dedicated 15amp 220v. Do I need to change the 220 to a higher amp rating. The only 220 tool I am considering at this time is the Rikon Jointer/Planer whis is rated at 8.9 amps (may be the grizzly 8 inch if I feel I have the space to dedicate)
2. I will also be buying a HF bandsaw. Can that be run on 110V. If so how much does it draw?
3. I will be running only one tool + DC + Air cleaner at a time. (Delta 1 1/2 Hp DC). Do you see any issues with power.
4. The shop has 1 dedicated bay in a 3 car garage. All the tools are on wheels so during use, I can use the whole garage. The garage also has the gas furnace and the gas water heater. Do you see any problems with the dust. The DC will have a cardridge filter instead of the cloth bags.
5. I do not have the air cleaner yet. Should I build one or buy?
6. As far as the DC, I prefer to move the DC around to each tool as I use. Is this feasible or is it better to run ducts to all machines and keep the DC stationery. Also, reading Bill Pentz's site, I have concerns about 4" hose. If I go 5 inch, How do I find a reducer the go from 5 to the BT ( and shark) and my hitachi c10fsh all of which have 2 1/2 ports. I can only see 4 to 2 1/2 reducers in most places.
I will also need reducers from 5" to 4" for the Jointer/Planer.
7. My first project will be the router table for my Incra 24 Jig and the Milwaukee 5625 router. I plan on using tabletops from cubicle table surfces. They are commercial HDF with laminate top. Do you see any problems. I have a bunch of these. I just need to check and make sure there that it is flat.
8. I would appreciate any other words of wisdom.
I will post pictures soon.
