Yes, with all ww tools, its a slippery slope $. I doubt u can run the SS and Clearview on 30amps, the moment u pass a thick hard wood through the SS, u will trip the breaker.
Interesting take on the amperage increasing without a filter. I admit I never tested this. I would have thought the filter acts as an additional load / resistance to the system, increasing amp draw. Has anyone ever tested this to confirm?
