I was wondering if you all could take a quick look at my load calcs and make sure that I am on the right page for a basement subpanel. This is about 600 square feet for residential use. My thought was to use #8 THHN and # 10 ground to the sub panel in pvc conduit from box to box. That would...

I just purchased this saw yesterday. It is a DoAll ML. There are some oddities about it such as not having a power feed option, missing a pulley to connect the air pump, the transmission is not engaging(seems like a linkage issue) what is really odd is the saw is spec'd for 110v. It has been...

I am replacing the copper tubing between the pump and the tank. Its a 2 stage 175 psi pump. It is about 2 feet of copper. Currently, it appears that drawn pipe was used from the factory and bent, unless 15 years of heat cycles have hardened it. I would like to use soft tubing with new...
