Electrical advice needed

[techman]

If the appliance is a cord connected device, the requirements for motors does not apply. As an example your 2 HP circular saw would require a very different circuit compared to a normal outlet.

If you install the circuit with a 30 amp socket (6-30 only 240v, or 14-30 for 120/240) and put a mating plug on your shaper, you are completely legal.

Agree but it has been fun watching the "experts" complicate things.

I thought you were having fun!

Wondering the same thing. I never posted the manufacturer. It is not a Grizzly.

Guilty as charged... I posted it as an example of an industrial grade machine that a home owner might get their hands on. I am an electrician at present, but did not feel qualified to partake in the "Discussion", So I sat back and enjoyed the show... :laughing:

Go to Lumberjocks.com and bring up any question about electrical...like ants at a picnic! Still don't know the exact machine the OP is installing...molder/planer I think which brings to mind the old Foley/Belsaw...at one time they also cut the knives for any profile you wanted. I think it since got copied into a smaller machine Woodmaster. The old iron...a friend got an old industrial air compressor...the motor came with 2 big capacitator "tubes" that we can't find replacements for...motors have evolved I guess.

I envy you! You must have a lot of lumber available to make it work (or you just want to goof around). You never did answer how you plan to get rid of all the chips/shavings! Expect A LOT. That company is still in business so I'm sure you can trust their specs.

Thanks for the tip on another great website!

You're welcome...typical site with the usual number of "snipers" but overall when it comes to home woodworking stuff you'll get a lot of opinions/advice.

Capacitors are as generic as socks. Going higher on both the voltage and mfd is better.

Same goes for pulling pulling up to the pumps . It's a truck, fuel is fuel, just grab a pump and fill'er up. Tires , as long as they hold air. These concerns about tread depth, matched in size or mixing bias and radial are bogus. Welding ? Doesn't matter what rods and current. Just stick it together , it's just welding.
Why let the experts complicate things ?
