Question regarding electric needs for lathe and milling machine

[borris]

Dear Members:

I just purchased a Precision Matthews PM1236-GT lathe and a PM45 Mill. Both units will be wired for 220. Since I need to add extra lines and breakers for the new machines, what is the recommended wire size and breaker capacity needed?

Thanks for your help.

Hello Steve
the breaker and wire size are determined by your lathe and mill. Look for the electrical rating plate
which is likely on the motor(s). I recommend a separate breaker and line for the lathe and the mill.
