Default Power for tablesaw in shop?


wrote in message
...
Initiated a new woodworking shop endeavor last week and have "anything
goes" on electrical from the contractor and wonder where the "typical"
power source is for the TS whether 110V or 220V. Currently have 110V
TS and it was plugged into a ceiling receptacle and was happy with
that not having to step over a cord on the floor but inquiring minds
wonder what other alternatives exist. Got the X10 for dust collection
that was utilizing the same circuit and enjoyed it muchly. Small
compressor can use either voltage but will probably convert to 220V
for efficiency. Shop/garage will be 24X30 with 9' ceilings with half
bath and drain board/sink adjacent and 3 windows with 18' garage door
and person door. Anxiously awaiting completion! Anxiously awaiting
responses also.



I would say most, including me simply, use an extension cord. I have used
an extension cord since 1981. In 1999 I upgraded to a cabinet saw and use a
10-3 extension cord 30' long. I have never tripped over either.
Until I have a larger shop with a stationary and permanent position for the
saw, I will continue using the extension cord.
