I am looking for a mic set for home use, I am not a machinist but I do mess with my share of small block Chevy's, Kohler engnes and motorcycle engines and would like to build a flathead ford one day. I'd like to be able to check piston clearances and bearing/journal clearances at home. I...

I forgot, the breaker at the Main Panel is an 80 amp feeding the 2-2-4-6 MHF. I edited my post to show that. The 100amp breaker in the sub panel is the one that fried. I emailed square D and they are sending a new breaker.

I just installed a Square D QO, 100 amp sub panel in the garage. I connected to the main panel with mobile home feeder 2-2-4-6. There are only 5 circuits currently wired in the garage: (2) 20 amp outlet runs, (1) circuit for outside lights, (1) for inside lights and (1) 30 amp air...

This is a very helpful diagram. Should be a sticky.

Do you think explosion proof is necessary?

I have 24x36 shop with 10' unfinished celings. I would like to add an exhaust fan to the gable on the wall opposite of the garge doors. The walls and ceiling are not yet insulated but on day will be, along with finishing the ceiling. What CFM range should I be looking at? I sometimes paint cars...

The local electrical supply has Southwire 2-2-4-6 for $1.25 per foot and 2" PVC conduit for $.66 per foot, plus elbows and LB box and a 90A breaker.

Thanks Pattenp for all your help. I just have one last question on this subject, what is the advantage or disadvantage of the 2-2-4-6 vs the 2-2-2-4 other than cost? I would assume the 2-2-4-6 would be less expensive.

So, mobile home feeder @ 2-2-2-4 or 6 with a 90A breaker should work fine for me. I would like to run it through conduit, what size would you suggest?

Thanks, according to the chart, #4 copper or 2AL for 100 amps. Is voltage drop something I should consider at this distance?

I just had an electrician install a 200a service upgrade to my house. I would like to run a 100 amp feed to the new shop. I have a 100a panel in the shop and will have to go about 100-120 feet distance underground. What cable do I need to ask for at the electrical supply house? I will have 3...

If it is detached, can you elaborate on this for educational purposes?

I have a 3 piece set of Snap-on Ratchets. These are 1/4 drive short handle, long handle and long flex. These are used but like new. They are the older unsealed style. Date codes are '99 on the flex and '00 on the other two. Post then PM. TM70C TM75A TM711A $110 shipped for the set (lower 48...
