Sorry, power cable. 260 volt, 50 amp. Using the largest cable I can over the distance to avoid power drop.
Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

Must be 125-150 amp wire, smart move
Ever thought about making a parts cleaner?...We had one years ago, simple really, just compressed air and kerosene.
Putting the wire inside a pipe? We use 50 mm PVC for trench work when running wire underground.

It might have to happen soon. It's been brutal and I can't seem to Clean it all without agitation. Still comes out looking good but not perfect
Its main purpose is running a 300 amp Mig, plus pumps, lighting etc.
The reg's here state that below ground orange conduit must be used and grey above ground, minimum depth 600mm, with a marker tape (Warning) at 300mm the length of the trench
The home made parts cleaner we had was a 44 gallon drum cut lengths ways to form a trough with four legs welded on, some 1/4" copper tube with small holes drilled about every 1 1/2" running back and forth, some mesh to sit the parts on a few inches above the copper tube, fill with Kero and plug in the air line. Bingo!
A paint gun wash cabinet is the cats meow for washing saw parts in, works on the same principal as the one scallywag had made.
Is that like what we call a petrol gun?......I sometimes use one on heavy built up crud.
More like this,
Those wash guns are really good for heavy buildup, I have several different styles of them, some are bulk feed from any big container, great for the first time around cleaning 30 year old saws that were never cleaned before in their lifetime. The old gun wash cabinets have been generally outlawed in the automotive paint shops because they are not a sealed unit and let vapors escape into the atmosphere so the EPA has pressured the shops to change over to closed systems, not good for parts washers as they are generally much smaller and quite costly.
All this power I'm installing is for a new workshop, think I might buy a used dishwasher and use it as a parts cleaner.

Yes sir. If I had a large workshop I would love to have that.
Your parts come out so Clean Jerry I know it must work!!!

Dishwasher works good for the last time around cleaning, stuff comes out squeaky clean. I know a guy that converted one over to run varsol through it for parts cleaning, all it takes is to disable the heater and temperature switches, just run it straight up, has lasted for a few years now.
