Tim, do you go through Wichita? Further looking at the map, it looks like it adds ~100 miles for me.

12 days and a wake up then the road trip begins !

Expanding 288 hiPSc clones for freezing 80 of them in the next 11 days so that I'm ready to drag my butt into Randy's car in 12 days. Looking forward to it!

I will pass through there. Looking into it to see if we can work something out.

As of now there is a good chance I will be delivering a microscope also.

Looking at my grinder, if I change it to 110 V it says 18 amps. That would be pushing a 20 amp circuit but being a grinder it should be ok. What do you think and what type of circuits are at the shop.

I am not sure of how many circuits and what size breakers are in the shop, but we will make it work. I will look when I go down there next.

The circuit that hangs from the ceiling should be able to carry two grinders at 230 volt.

I just remembered that we also power the heat treat oven off of that circuit, so when the oven or welder are in use we can just carry one grinder.

These are some pictures of my set up. Not as fancy as others but portable.

Right now I have a 50 Amp 230 Volt standard plug and about a 30 ft of cord.

I can toss it in and if we need another grinder it will be there.

It really is a sweet setup for a crowded garage.

You and Tim have a better idea of the power situation than me, sad but true.

I was thinking use the heat treat forge for most of the heat treating during the day, and use the 220 for grinders and the occasional welding.

If we need some serious annealing I can program the electric oven and let it run over night.

Two 220 grinders, is anybody else bringing a 220 ginder?
