I am considering purchasing either the Ryobi BT3100 or the Delta
Shopmaster TS300. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Both of
these are 15 A machines and I am assuming that they will therefore be
fine on a dedicated 15A line.
Aren't both of them direct drive machines? If so, avoid both.

However, if I were to buy either, I would either follow the instructions in
the fine manual or put the machine on a 20A line. They do draw far more
current on startup than just 15 A.
