Ok, its not a 2-wire hack...factory power plug. Sounds like I am good to go.

It will be on a GFCI outlet. Will that be enough protection for the unit?

I am installing a water softener outside my house, and while it is water resistant I will still need to build a shelter for it to protect it from the rain...which in CA we have had none for 3 years, but needed none the less. Unfortunately the softener valve only comes with a 2 prong...

It'd be great if you had time to upload all those publications to the Vintage Machinery site! Chuck

I love the epoxied wood strips. It looks awesome! Chuck

Sending positive thoughts your way!

Fergus, awesome snag! :bowdown: You got quite a few extras on that saw. I'd love to see several photos of the speed reducer. I've only seen it in the catalogs and not out in the wild yet. Let me know if you're interested selling it! :D Chuck

Sympathy all around! Dedicate some time consciously away from the garage, then the opportunity for work in the garage will present itself. Looking forward to seeing you back! Chuck

JasonW, Good find. I've been watching that on the C'List and even contacted the seller. Unfortunately he's several hours from me so I've been hoping I'd get a reason to make it down to LA so I could pick it up. He also had another item or two I was interested. Maybe next month! Chuck

I believe there are enough of us we could form a group with a 12 step recovery program...though we don't see it as an addiction, right? Chuck

Either you are a trend setter or I am just envious. I've been thinking recently I could make use of metal lathe in my shop for light restoration work on my current and future tool acquisitions. Only thing is, I don't have much experience with them. In college I took a machining class where we...

Be sure to bust out the knee pads.

We're enjoying the trip as much as you! Keep the updates coming. Chuck

Well, I guess my requirements have morphed from needing to wire up several florescent lights for my workbench to needing to add to my current circuits which consists of one 15A with garage lights and garage outlets, and one 15A for irrigation. Now I'm better defining my needs as, in addition...

Phew, well sorry about that gang. I thought I had taken the pic such that everything was showing. Nope. Sure enough, I looked again and there at the top was the catalog number. It's got 20 spaces for 40 circuits. So my next step is to figure out how I can split my garage into at least two...

Yeah, this is about all there is on the panel and door. I'll take another look, but I believe its all I got.

OK, so here's my panel. Any help on how to interpret what my options are for tandem breakers?

Thanks Charles.

I forgot I had a photo on my phone of the peg board and the new outlets...

Charles, there is no room in the panel for any additional breakers, but I didn't know there was a different design for tandem or not. So when I get back home in a couple weeks, I'll have to investigate more. Are the odds on my side that if its a new panel it is designed to accommodate tandem...
