I am in a slow process of trying to build me a small shop 16x16. I have been trying to figure out what I possibly would have for electrical needs and so far I have come up with.
240v:
1. KMG Belt Grinder
2. Evenheat Kiln
3. Air Compressor
4. Air Filtration system
120v
1. Air conditioner window unit (its the south, its very hot here)
2. Drill Press (maybe more in the future?)
3. Polisher
4. Band Saw
Now this is just a list of items I might get in time but since I plan to put plywood on the walls (as of right now anyway) I am trying to make sure I plan for what I can and get plugs in place when I get to that point. I am wondering if I should just put a bunch of outlets about mid-wall height in 120v or do you guys know of some "Rule of Thumb" in this situation.
Now as far as machinery layout do you have suggestions? Is there a work flow layout that works better kinda like in woodworking?
I try to look at pictures of peoples shops to see if I can take some ideas from them.
The 240v outlets is something I think I really need to work out where the 120v I can fudge around more.
If you happen to have any ideas or input let me hear it. I want to get this thing built soon so I can start making something :biggrin:
Many more questions to come :confused2:
Thanks
Larry
