I ordered it with the lever to shut it off. I use it frequently and wouldn¡¯t be without it. I also got the better surge protection, which oddly doesnt come installed and when I went to install it, using a torque wrench for the first time, I mistook ftlbs for inlbs and sheared the bastard off. They wanted me to pay another $350 at PP but I called the manufacturer and they took pity on me and sold it for just $90 which i believe is their cost.?
I ordered from PP directly. ?It was cheapest that way at the time which was about a year ago.
Given this is on a residential property, I could only increase my panel to 400 amps which is split 200 for the shop and 200 for the house (all electrical appliances). This limited me to the pt020, which basically limits me to my 25¡± grizzly widebelt with the DC running (nederman s1000p). Oddly the DC is overkill at my current shop (bought it when I had employees in an industrial warehouse) but I wouldnt downgrade it while upgrading a widebelt. As such I utilize the cnc and rotex combo with minimal disappointment. ?I don¡¯t do plywood stuff that would require a larger widebelt.?
