Hiya Folks,
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for their comments. After giving
it some thought
I just went ahead and did the job myself. So I now have a small subpanel
feeding my new tablesaw
and my cyclone (when I finish building it!). There were no sparks
(kidding!) and it seems to work
fine.

Interesting thing though. I called my municipality about
permits/inspections etc.... and they still haven't
called me back. I'm pretty confident my install is up to code so when they
do finally get with me,
I hope it's a quick sign-off.

Thanks again folks for all the help!

Cheers,
cc
