My new alpha runs on 1 220 volt 50 amp circuit. It wires into a disconnect box. It is split inside the control box into 2 110 circuits.

Steve,

Factor in some surge supression for your Shopbot PC. I just lost a $400 computer (OK, a $50 motherboard and time) to a power surge.

And until I fix it, my laptop is tied up running the shopbot. I could have avoided that.

that may be a good idea. though here in portland we don't seem to really have surges. and my shop is in a industerial area.
