I wanted to know if anyone here plugs in their table saw into a surge protector or straight into the socket? My outlets are set up on the ceiling in my garage (hey, that how it came :p). I ran a Belkin surgemaster (10 outlet) down to my work bench. It is what I have used for all my power tools without a hitch. My breaker box is equipt for 20 amps (for the garage). Should this be enough for my Craftsman 22104 ts? Below is a description from the manufacture on this product:
