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.
220 for sure. Most 220 tools only require two hots and ground so all you
need is xx/2 wire. I put in 10/3 wire just in case I want a neutral for
splitting off a 110V outlet. The /3 gives you that ability. The 10/ will
give you enough amperage capacity for most high end hobby tools and most
professional tools for that matter.
