Started work on my future son's maple dresser (due in Feb). I thought the
legs would be a good place to start, yeah good idea.

Jointed a corner square on the leg stock and started to rip to width, 1.75"
(plus a smidge for the planer). Started the rip and I blew the dam breaker.
Try a slower feed rate! Yeah, brilliant idea! Loaded up the next leg
stock in front of the saw and cranked her on and started my s-l-o-w feed,
and pop, blew the breaker again! Ahh crap. Serenity out the window.

I need a beefier saw dam it!!! My bandsaw might have to wait!


You need to convert your saw to 220, and run a 20 amp service to it.
