His 8 guage wire is running hot when plugged in....best to install a 6 guage.

Who installed it? When I put my 50 amp welder plug in I was told that 8 gauge was borderline for that. According to the below chart 80 amps should be run through 4 gauge cable. My 100 amp house service runs 2 gauge for the 2 hot lines and 6 gauge for the neutral. Which matches note 2 on this chart.



I'm not trying to be a smart @ss, I just don't won't to see someones house go up in flames due to an electrical fire.

Alberta most homes are only 100 amp services . # 4 wire required for 80 amps. Our hyrdro dams don’t flow much water in the winter. That’s why we can’t run electric tankless water heaters either. (80 amp).

As mentioned # 6 is too small also.

Welders are a bit different as they can incorporate a duty cycle where the wire has time to cool down.

The charger is likely full load for a good period before the charger reduced it for top up.

The Maximum draw of a Tesla would not be more that 50 amps.

IMO i like electric technologies but hey that's me.

I bought last July a Milwaukee electric chain saw(battery operated 12amp hr lithium) and just for the heck i compared it to my small gas saw. 32cc. Both with 18" bars and brand new chains. The Milwaukee kicked the poop out of the gas saw, no contest.
The electric saw was faster and cut 156 cuts on one charge. The gas saw is noisey as "F" and ran out of fuel at 94 cuts...go figure..electric technologies SUCK

BTW the wood cut was pin averaging in size 8-12". I could had used my bigger Stihl saw but hey it's electric right, it should be dead in a dozen cuts.

Face it, times are changing.

Right on, I’ve been waiting on a real world review on these little saws. I have a 1/2 and 3/8 M18 Fuel impact and they are deadly. Glad to hear that the saw is no different. Milwaukee makes some good chit.
