The breaker should be a maximum of 250% of the FLA of the motor on the circuit (NEC table 430.52). In your case if the FLA is 12 the max breaker size is 30A so you should be OK.
Change the plug on...

Depends how big a cut you're making. I like to put a lot of pressure on the board and climb cut. I've only used a 1hp feeder and would probably be uncomfortable cutting the power by a factor of 8. It...

Yes they can sue you for negligence. Whether they'd win is another question. You would be wise to carry liability insurance.

Looks like a medieval torture device :)

And this is the crux of the argument. What's reasonable for you might not be reasonable for an experienced woodworker. No different than any other activity. I'm not going to take a young child riding...

I made a bunch of moldings for our house with this cutter. When it spins up you can feel it in your gut. I only ever used a power feeder but it's always a little unnerving when you make the first...

No problem sanding a tablesaw top. I've done it when some moisture got on the top causing rust spots. I'd figure out what caused the scratches before doing too much on the top.

As you get older I think quality of life is important. For me that means staying fit in order to continue to do the things I enjoy. Cycling has been a great way for me to stay in shape and socialize....

I've always wanted a 220V powered espresso machine but they're not very common for home use in NA. Nice to have the option to convert a receptacle to 240V.

It's normal practice around here to have multiple circuits supplying a dual receptacle in a kitchen. Allows one to plug in two high power appliances without tripping a single breaker. Breakers are...

Also allows you to mix and match 240 and 120V receptacles using that approach as long as the breakers are tied together.

Semantics I guess, but a 5hp 3ph input vfd is not rated at 5hp with single phase input. Just need to buy a VFD that's rated for 5HP with single phase input.

Why? That doesn't seem to make any sense. What's the point of having an output rating if you don't trust it.

I replaced all my 4' fluorescents with LEDs when the tubes had trouble starting reliably. It was pretty easy and involved removing all the ballasts and a little re-wiring.

If either pulley is not secured to a shaft properly the shaft will spin and potentially get damaged such that a new pulley will not fit tightly.

Norm's lost a lot of weight from the New Yankee Workshop days and I think, unfortunately, when you lose a significant amount of weight you tend to look a little more wrinkly than if your wrinkles are...

Here are some more reasons Architects prefer kiln dried wood:

Not sure where you live but properly kiln dried material will move just like air dried wood. Most hardwood flooring sold locally is kiln dried and it moves noticeably between summer and winter. In...

Depends on the temperature and location of the air drying. If it's air dried in Phoenix there won't be much difference in wood movement between kiln and air drying. It's a function of the moisture...

Thanks for the suggestion! Started watching last week and it's very interesting. Always had a fondness for wooden boats but Leo takes it to another level.

Thanks Eric. They seem to have a decent deal on Amazon Canada for the full kit so I'll give it a try.

Any chance these clamps fit in the festool extrusions?

Interesting that you believe some, but not all, information provided by scientists.

XPS is not a very good vapor barrier. 2" thick XPS is an order of magnitude more permeable than 6mil poly according to the manufacturer.

My suggestions:

1. Bring a long straightedge and check the tables for flatness. Also make sure you can adjust the tables. You don't need to align it perfectly but I'd want to make sure there are...
