The only way that I would see a need for a 30 amp service would be if you
were to be running other high current draw equiptment on the same circuit at
the same time. If you are just running the lathe on that circuit the 20 amp
service should be fine.

Ordered my 3520A from Toolnut and am getting ready for its arrival.

Question 1: Talked to a PM tech who said my 20 amp service isn't
enough. Have to have minimum 25 amp, preferably 30 amp. Told him
that my 3hp tablesaw ran fine on this sevice, and he indicated I was
lucky I hadn't burned out the motor. An electrician friend says 20
amp is plenty. What do you say?

Question 2: I still have a Jet Mini so need fixtures with both 1" and
1 1/4" sizes. Should I just get an adaptor to make the PM 1", or
would it be better to get new 1 1/4" inserts for my 2 chucks, and put
an adaptor on the Mini to make it 1 1/4"? I'm leaning toward the
latter even if it's a bit more money.

Thanks much.
