Remember that the "80% rule" applies only to circuits serving a continuous
load, which is defined as "a load where the maximum current is expected to
continue for three hours or more." [2005 NEC, Article 100]

No, I can't see ever running the bandsaw for 3 hours. Thanks

And even if you were, it's very unlikely that it would be pulling maximum
current the entire time.
