Frustrated in High Point
Got home from work, ate dinner, and off to the work shop. Ahhh!
Serenity... Started work on my future son's maple dresser (due in Feb). I thought the legs would be a good place to start, yeah good idea. Jointed a corner square on the leg stock and started to rip to width, 1.75" (plus a smidge for the planer). Started the rip and I blew the dam breaker. Try a slower feed rate! Yeah, brilliant idea! Loaded up the next leg stock in front of the saw and cranked her on and started my s-l-o-w feed, and pop, blew the breaker again! Ahh crap. Serenity out the window. I need a beefier saw dam it!!! My bandsaw might have to wait! -- Stoutman http://home.triad.rr.com/brianmeliss...ing_frames.htm (Featuring a NEW look) |

Can you switch your saw over to 220V? I did it with mine, along with
my shaper, and the difference is dramatic. It draws half the current, of course, and now it accelerates much more quickly on startup and doesn't dim the lights. It requires that you add a 220 breaker to your panel, and install a 220V outlet. Nothing too complicated, unless your breaker box is clear on the other side of the house or has no free slots. I live just up the road from you in Oak Ridge if you ever care to see my implementation. Josh |

I dont know. How do i find out if the motor can handle 220? other than just trying it. |

READ the directions. grin Seriously. look at the 'plate' on the motor. If it specifies two voltages and two amperage levels, it can be wired for either 120V or 240V circuits. |

If you still have the manual, it should tell you exactly how to rewire
it (it usually just involves moving a couple of jumper wires). If not, Delta should have it online. Definitely do NOT just plug it into a 220V recepticle as is, not that the plug should fit into such a recepticle anyway. |

A beefier saw would just blow the breaker quicker.

My bandsaw might have to wait! Actually, a bandsaw would do the job you tried with ease, and more. If you leave a "smidge" for the planer, you just need to leave the line. Fence and feed works the same on one side straight; chalk, snap and follow starts you out from rough. Great tool. |

Barry When I use to live in my old house, which had fuses not a breaker, it would blow them also. It only trips the breaker when it starts to bog down. If I feed ridiculously slow it doesn't trip the breaker. But I risk burning the crap out of the wood. I'm guessing a beefier saw will not bog down and thus will not trip the breaker.?. I thought about the bandsaw after I posted. I think your right. A nice bandsaw should do the job nicely. |

stop the small, petty thinking. Obviously, he needs a new pickup.

If the motor can be rewired for 220, that info will be on the motor
somewhere. If you can't find it, don't do it. :-) But I'm on board with Tom. Sure seems like that saw should be able to rip right through a couple inches of maple. It's the blade or the breaker. (Without watching the cut, I also wonder if maybe you got no splitter on that thing and the wood is pinching the blade. But that should also squeal and make burn marks.) I had to replace a breaker after it blew out once, then just kept breaking every time I turned on the saw. The new one don't blow when the saw turns on. Then again, never let it be said I stopped somebody from gittin a new toy. I'd want the bandsaw before I got a new TS, but maybe you really want a new TS. Therefore, gopher it. |

A beefier saw will draw more current to begin with, so I don't see
how it solves your current (uh.) electrical problem. stoutman wrote: When I use to live in my old house, which had fuses not a breaker, it would blow them also.

Try using a smaller blade. 90% of the time I just use cheap thincut 7
1/4" Piranah skillsaw blades on my 10" saw. Sam |

A beefier saw is going to require more amperage, though, which by itself will blow the breaker. What strength breaker are you running, 15 amp? If so, a slow blow might help, but running a 20 amp circuit might help more. |
