I have one 15-amp circuit serving my basement shop. Can I switch the breaker to 20 amps? TS is tripping when ripping 6/4 maple.

Depends on the wire gauge from the panel, if it is 14 forget about it.

It is 12 gauge.


Is it 240V? If the outlet the saw is plugged into is the only one on
the circuit, it might be really easy to convert it to 240V. That'll
help a lot more than going from 15A to 20A.
