Post Body

I'd like to add a circuit to accommodate a 220V table saw in the garage. There's no space in the main panel, so it will probably have to go in the sub panel.

The sub panel was added by an electrician in 2010 and is one foot away from the main panel (which is 1996 vintage). Dryer is the only load off the sub panel right now.

I assume I can't simply put another 2-pole 30A breaker in there, so how should I modify the sub panel to accommodate the table saw?

Gallery of actual images is here. Thanks for your help.
