Will a 4hp Harvey saw trip a 20amp 220v breaker?

[Doug Colombo]

Hey Doug - Please let us know where the Harvey spec calls for a 30 amp circuit. I cannot find any reference to this. The Harvey specification for the motor shows this:

4 HP, 230 V, 1 PH, 16 A

This is well within the capability of a standard 240v 20A circuit. Also, the saw power cord comes with a 6-20P plug, which is a 20A standard plug and can only plug into a 6-20 outlet (again, a 20A outlet).

It is in the instructions for the saw. I do think it will be ok on a 20 amp but based on what I read when I got the saw, I went with 30 amp just to be sure.
Here is the page I am referring to:

I was also annoyed by the moving target pricing. I actually wrote an email to the company asking about the practice and got an email in return offering me a substantially lower price is the manufacturer head office.
Give it a try.

Just ordered the saw yesterday! I went with the 3hp, 36"cut width, and just the cast iron top. Got it for a good price. Finally getting rid if this Grizzly that has tried to kill me. Glad to finally have a riving knife and good dust collection.

Congrats ! You will love the saw 😃😃

Nice. They make great stuff. Did you pickup any accessories?

Nothing too crazy, just got a the zero clearance insert and the thin riving knife. I will likely order the cast iron router table extension when they are back in stock.

Awesome! I'm thinking long and hard about adding their crossuct sled to my SawStop PCS. I like their use of the micro adjust knobs on the stops.
