Post: RE: Table Saw Trips Breaker
Thanks Roly.  I also found the answer elsewhere, saying the resistor is needed. Easy to unsolder and transfer over.

Our 20-year-old Delta table saw blows the 20 amp SquareD breaker when we turn it on.  It is a dedicated circuit, so it’s not overloaded. Thinking it must be a weak breaker, we replaced it.  That didn’...

We visited a church where the sanctuary has twelve fluted columns. Maybe 30 inches diameter.  Probably called neoclassical. They are about 30 feet tall. Whether tapered or not, I couldn’t tell. I assu...

Since people were helpful of curious, here is what I did. As a support, I cut a similar 6-foot arch from plywood.  This would allow me to clamp down each of the nine oak segments and to move and glue...

Filling all the spaces between the studs is questionable. There are firebreaks and other cross pieces. Also, have you read about the insulation getting compacted over time. It’s loose when you blow i...

Interesting that our experiences with black locust are so different. The tree I’m calling b/l has beautiful clusters of blossoms in June, and the resulting pods have lots of beans in them.
