Thread: Band saw

Ive understood that a 100 amp curcuit is standard in most shops, unless you plan on going big. But thats not from experiance. I did try a cheap band saw once. It sucked. Couldnt cut straight for anything. So i will say get a good one if you plan on using one. I took mine back. And i believe that if you get a 120v or 240v you will be using about the same amps. Just that with a unit that runs on 240v will have less heat and work easier.
Again, this is not experiance talking. Just a guy that plays with minimal dc voltage.
