My question is what kind of power does he have running to his shop.
That large drum sander must be 3-phase, probably over 10HP. -BR


Well maybe not. The link below is for a 49" single pass sander. 7.5
hp, 31 amp, single phase.
BUT I do now know what he is using.

I poked around the SCM site, Their smallest planer looks like what TM
uses (not quite sure), three phase.

Can't quite pin down the sander either, but their smallest has a 5.5KW
motor (about 7hp), no mention on 1 or 3 phase.

He also has a aircraft carrier scale jointer and several racks of what
looks like Festool boxes. I'm sure Leon could be happy there 8^)

I'm sure. LOL


Definitely some major amperage flowing in.

No big deal with getting 3 phase service other than some $$$, but most
large machines like these tend to cross over the line to all 3 phase
motors, much more efficient (and no smoking motor capacitors).
