Just worried about overtaxing that 100A panel with the oven drawing 220 already. There was a 220 plug in the garage, but I turned it into a subpanel for the lights and outlets in the garage and lights in the house. Monster? Mebbe. :D

Heh. We almost never have lightning storms here. Not even once a year. But a few years ago, a bolt hit a palm tree 4 doors down. Boy did that get my attention. The cats all levitated and disappeared. Fire department had to come and hose the top of the tree off because it caught fire. LOL...

Which probably originated from this Monty Python bit.

Haven't decided yet, but do plan a post elsewhere for thoughts. Looking at Laguna's 18" and Grizzly's 19" and 21". Those are in the sub-$2,500 all-in budget range. I'll use it as frequently as a home woodworker who works full time can, eh? My thought is that I never want to buy a bandsaw...

Thanks. :) Says I need five posts. I'm 2/5 of the way there. :D

I need to run a 220 line to my garage for a new bandsaw and my breaker panel isn't up to the addition. Need to upgrade from 100A to 200A. SCE has approved the existing panel location for the upgrade and confirmed the existing service can handle 200A. I called around and got some bids, but at...
