    I realize this is code, and one point that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Really common to have multiple duplex receptacles on a single 15A breaker. Now two people in adjacent bedrooms decide to plug in hairdryers at the same time getting ready for the big party. #14 gets a bit warm, the...

    JT3 confusion

    Jarno taper, that's it. So JT3 is not actually a standard there are small JT3's and big JT3's who would have expected that? I'm glad whoever comes up with these "standards" doesn't work on the space shuttle. I'm going to trust the pictures. Much appreciated.

    JT3 confusion

    I use a lot of 3/4" TTS tooling It's just more convenient to simply loosen the drawbar a couple of turns rather than remove the entire R8 arbor. I have a JT3 drill chuck presently mounted to an R8 arbor. It would be more convenient to replace the R8 arbor with a 3/4" stub type arbor, so I can...
