Oh man. Maybe that beautiful saw would make a nice doorstop...
I've currently got 12 gauge wire going out there (it's about 100
feet).
I'm going to have to pull the conduit to run the extra wire through
there.
I was thinking 12 gauge 3 conductor 220v out to the shed with a
small breakout panel in the shed for the 110 circuit with 20 amp
fuses.
I have two 220V circuits on my house box. 20 amp (for drier i guess)
and 30 amp (for stove I guess). I haven't looked under there yet.
I'm hoping that it's wired 3 conductor and not 2. The house was
rewired in the early
70s...

Or maybe I should be smart and find an electrician.

Calling an electrician might be a good idea. *It sounds as if you are
planning to leave the existing 110V service in place and run the 220V
service through the existing 110V conduit. *To meet code there are
"conduit fill" requirements that have to be met and the existing conduit
may not be large enough.

Thanks everyone, for all the great info.
I've decided to go to an electrician. I got the name of
one with 'glowing' references.
Fooling around with 220 has pushed me beyond my
comfort level. My 'current' system is not really
upgradable.
The saw will make a nice dead flat surface till I can
get it fired up again.
Maybe that old delta benchtop isn't so bad..
