I've been using a temporary 220 line for a bit, but with winter coming up and outside projects presumably slowing down, I'd like to get my garage shop set up better.
Here's a list of pertinent information:
Equipment needing electricity
Rigid R4511 tablesaw - 1.5 hp 220 or 110
Delta 950L Drill press - .5 hp 220 or 110 (I have several motors sitting around and will change this to a 3/4 or 1 hp)
Delta 14" bandsaw currently 3/4 hp, but I have a Baldor 1.5 hp motor ready to go in it.
Jet 20" bandsaw, previous owner burned up the motor, so it currently has a 1.5 hp Dayton motor. Anyone with a 3 hp motor sitting around?
Jet 15" planer 3 hp 220 Volt
6" 1 hp planer (Anyone gotta 10" jointer sitting around?)
CH 80 gallon compressor 5 hp 220 volt
2 hp dust collector
Grizzly shop air filter
routers, sanders, etc.
Lincoln 115v flux/mig wirefeed welder (needs 20 amp 110 v ciruit)
Lincoln Idealarc AC/DC 250/250 stick welder - I doubt I'll ever need to approach anywhere near max amperage on this, so a 50 amp 220 circuit will do)
In the winter I'd like to have one or two electric heaters going while I'm in the shop.
My house has a 200 amp service panel located in the laundry room, which is adjacent to the garage. I estimate 25' would be more than plenty to get me from the panel to where I want a sub panel in the garage.
My garage currently has one 15 amp circuit - that's it.
I have a brick foundation on all walls of the garage about knee height with a 3" ledge before the drywall starts. I want to use some type of conduit along this ledge for wiring and receptacles. I want all of it removable, as I don't think we'll be in this house for more than four years or so.
It's usually only me in there, so I don't expect to run but one large tool at a time, in conjunction with the dust collector and compressor. Plus the heater in the winter. If I use the big welder, I'll turn everything else off.
Any information on panel size, feeder wire from house panel to subpanel, types of conduit, etc. would be great.
I'm sure I could just get a calculator and figure amperage requirements, etc, but theory and the real world don't always agree, so I figured I'd ask away here.
I'm not going to try to cheap out on anything, but if I can use PVC conduit instead of metal at a much cheaper price, that's fine with me, but I do want to make sure I do it right.
Thanks,
Ben
