Hi all,
I recently bit the bullet and bought the 1.75HP PCS Sawstop 110v, and am super excited to finally own a high quality saw! I went for the 110v as a) i'm unlikely to be cutting thick hardwoods very often, b) the garage is wired at 110v, and c) financial considerations (this saw was already at the very top of my budget, in fact over!)
I am now starting to look at dust collection options to pair with the Sawstop (I don't currently have anything other than a small shop vac) and from reading a few forum posts it looks like power could be an issue if everything is on one circuit? I don't really know too much about electronics, or even what I need to look for to figure this out (aside from just trying it)? There are only 2 outlets on the walls in the garage, the light switches and the garage opener wired in the roof. No idea if all this is all on one circuit or what the amps are or anything like that.
Am I likely to have a problem if I was to buy a reasonable dust collector that ran at the same time as the sawstop? Ideally I would REALLY like something that just came on automatically when I started the saw.
The basement is finished so not that keen to do a DIY or pay an electrician to come out if I don't need to, but would love some advice as don't want to overload the circuit and cause a safety hazard. It may be that I do this eventually down the line anyway as I would like the ability to also run a shop vac as well to connect to the over blade connection hose.
Thanks for any advice! Andrew
