Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

But if you built a table to put the cutter on...

 

I guess I better cut a few of these to have on hand.

 

4x4 is over kill...

 

Well shucks.

I thought I scored a good deal the other day when I picked up a 10k watt electric heater for my 900 square foot garage for 25% off.

Unfortunately, I literally don't have enough power to run the damn thing.

Back to the drawing board...

 

How many amp breaker does that need?

I assumed it was a 240v unit. Yes?

 

6 Guage wire and a 50 amp breaker?

Do you have an electric dryer plug nearby?

 

I have mine on a 40 amp breaker i think I would need to look 6/3 AWG SOOW cable

Nothing else in the Garage you can use I run 6 Fifty Amp Circuits off my 100amp sub panel of course not all the same time

 

The 25kw pulls 107A IICR. #2 & it might just break frost.

 

This is cool

2x2 was another thought, but just seemed flimsy.

 

I thought Op is was talking 10KW not 25W

 

Me, too.

 

Sorry for the delay... the song of my people played and we had to go point out the transformer on fire to the power company hahaha

So yeah.. it's 240v and requires #6 wire and 70 amp breakers.. which is exactly what I have powering the detached garage. Sure I could heat it, but then I would not even be able to turn on a light haha.




This is what I bought, but it doesn't say anything about the wiring requirements until you open it up. Oh well.. I'll figure out something else.

 

If you have good pocket hole jig, do something like this. If you can zoom in to pic. Or glue and nail/ screw two pieces of 3/4" boards @90° together to form legs. And box in a place for drawer or what not. The cross pieces would work better with pocket holes.

 

That's gotta be a $100k machine .. or more.

 

Where did you get this info? My research says it needs a 45 amp breaker. (50amp).

If you are able to run the correct wire to it's plug, your 70amp box should feed it just fine.

You might have to shut it off when the welder or compressor is in use.

 

That's what I was getting, too.

@Kilo Charlie - If you don't want to deal with having to shut stuff off, will the 5k watt little brother work?

Look.. I'm not an electrician. One of my firefighters is a licensed one tho and after a visit from him today, he said it's not going to work.

And the 5k watt one is only good for 500 square feet. That's a little too small for my garage. I did some research before buying this one... just not enough on the electrical side.
