So, I finally broke down and will be getting more adequate power to my garage instead of the makeshift plugs and extension cords coming from the laundry room of the house. I'm going to get a 60 AMP sub-panel into my two-car garage (which rarely houses the cars) and wanted your input on a few things.
So for my 60-amps, I'm planning on 4 x 110v 15-amp outlets and 2 x 220V 20-Amp outlets all along one side of the wall (since most of my power tools will be along this side and the rest of my junk gets stored on the other side of the garage). Question, does it make sense to have all 4 15-amp circuits or should I get two that are 10-amps if my primary use will be for these power tools? Lighting will run off one of these circuits as is a new garage door opener. The two 220v 20-amps are for a future table saw (maybe SawStop 3HP) and the other for a duct collector (possibly the Laguna 2HP one that Paul Marcel recently reviewed). What about the 220v, 20-amp circuits, would I be better off if one was a 30-amp?
Since I wouldn't be running multiple tools at once (save for the dust collector or CT vac and lighting and one of the power tools, this should be good enough, right? To go higher than 60-amp, I'd have to replace my main panel and that's an added cost I don't want to incur at this point. Thoughts and suggestions are welcomed since this isn't scheduled for another couple weeks.
