Well, Ops Check Good! I'd post a 5 sec video of it running, but I don't know how.
I finally wired up a dedicated 30A 110v circuit to the attached garage. I got tired of constantly going to the basement to reset the 15A breaker for the garage/outside outlets. I couldn't run my drill press for more than 3 seconds and I used to have a problem with it constantly popping whenever I welded as well. Finally, I can run the drill press or welder on this circuit without that issue any longer.
I know, it looks a bit tacky running conduit outside the wall, but when I attempted to drill the 2X4 for that wall from the attic, I found there was metal, almost like a piece of flashing, between the two 2X4s. The spade bit wouldn't cut through it and I figured that is the only wall I went on the outside of, even when the breaker box is on the opposite side of the house in the basement. At least I painted everything flat white to match the wall.
Next will be finishing up the 30A 220v circuit, on the other side of the window, I wired for the 6.5hp 60 gal compressor next to the drill press.
