My new edge sander was delivered today, Grizzly 6x80. In the version
of the manual on the website they list it as 1.5 HP 16A/8A. But in
the manual that came with it and on the nameplate on the motor it says
1.5 HP 20A/10A.

Before adding special circuits I would first plug it in to what you have and
try it out during actual use.

That's definitely what I'm doing, and I built the base for it and got
it setup. Seems to run fine. The one set of 4 ft lights on the same
circuit barely flicker when it starts up. It starts up fine with the
spindle sander next to it running too, but that's just rated at 2.5
amps. Still, if the manual is to be believed that should have brought
upon the end of the world. The dehumidifier is also on that circuit,
but we're getting to the end of the season where it's needed. Before
you know it I will be freezing my ass off in there again.

On a 15 amp circuit I run a radio, lighting, 12 amp dust collector and a 15
amp router, no problem at all unless the compressor comes on.

I can say that a TS and a space heater on a 20 amp circuit is a no
go Well, it's a go.. to the panel to reset the breaker.

Anyway, I raised the topic not so much in regards to what I need to do
to make it work, I can deal with that. It was more that I have
definitely heard on the wreck that you can't trust the hp rating, but
the amps were more reliable because that gets tested by UL. And I
just wonder if the marketing departments haven't figured that out and
now you can't trust anything.
