Yesterday's project was to make a couple of little additions to the electrical and dust collection systems....

Hmmmm let's see, DC drop and an outlet wired for a 20A 220V connection...it must be bigger than a breadbox.

One of the members here asked me about my wiring job, so I figured I would post some more pics to clarify what I did.





* * * WARNING!!! * * *Let me first start out by saying that I AM NOT AN ELECTRICIAN. My house has not burned down yet, but that doesn't mean yours won't if you do what I did. If you want to do some wiring in your shop (or Heaven forbid in your house), you should be really sure you know what you're doing, or HIRE A QUALIFIED AND LICENSED ELECTRICIAN!!!




This is the aluminum-clad wiring that I used - 12 gauge/2 conductor (black/white/green insulated conductors):

These are the accessories you need to secure it to the wall, and to crimp it at the panel box & outlet box. You'll find them in the electrical section at Lowe's, labeled "BX-FLEX":

This shows how the connector looks at the panel box, with the cable secured within a few inches of the box:

Here is the cable with the wall anchors - the cable should be anchored as close to the outlet box as possible:

Here is the connection at the outlet box:

You have me confused. The direction of the 'Y' is into a 'T' with one side capped and one side going through a wall. If I assume that the DC is on the other side of the wall then that 'T' is a bad thing. If it is a big DC/Cyclone (220V) going in then the incoming is from the 'T' and the incoming from the other side is around the bend of the 'Y', both bad. I will assume that it is a big machine (220V) going in and that you should change the capped 'T' for a 'street 90'.

Gator - yes you're right. That last 90* turn is not good for smooth air flow. It goes to my DC closet. I have a 120V 1.5 hp dust collector in there, along with a trash can cyclone. I used that Tee because I thought I would need the cleanout, but in reality I haven't had to clean out the pipe yet. I guess I should change it out to a Street 90 like you suggest. So far it works well ---- too well, in fact! It already needs to be emptied again!!!! :roll:

Do I win a prize for predicting the future?

You must be psychotic or something! (Or is that psychic? :oops: )


:lol: :lol: :lol:

Actually I do remember you making that statement. And yes, you're right - it actually IS easy to visualize a Rikon 18" BS sitting in that spot.

Oh, and here's your prize: :eyeslam:
