crabjoe is on a distinguished road
The biggest thing I expect to run is a table saw. I'm not sure what the amp draw is but it runs fine on a 15amp circuit. Other then that one item, nothings going to draw amps close to it, even my chop saw.

In the future, I might run a Mig welder, but even that's only rated to work on 120v/15amp. I figure 240v would be nice, but if need be, I'll get a generator to run anything that draws 20+ amps. Right now, I don't have anything that won't run on a 15 amp circuit.

Do you think it would be ok to just run 10/2 with a 20amp breaker at the house? This way I wouldn't need a sub panel.
