So I want to chalk this up to it just being too hot outside but it has me paranoid enough that I want some lumberjock second opinions.
Was using a dado stack on my tablesaw cutting about 3/4" wide by 1/4" deep rabbet on the end of a piece of oak. Width of the oak was about 2" and I had just finished ripping a small pile of the same oak. Breaker tripped at the end of the cut.
Few details. Brand new 8" dado stack that I was getting used to. Table saw is a 3hp PM2000 on a dedicated 30amp circuit. Circuit run is under 12' from the panel. 10g THHN wire in EMT. I am 99% sure everything electric wise is more than sufficient for the saw and it has never tripped a breaker in the past. My shop does not have AC and it is probably about 100deg inside right now. I am hoping that is all it is. The thermal reset in the saw took about 3 min to reset. No idea if that is normal or not since I have never had it trip.
After it reset I completed the other 9 of the same cuts and 5 9" long dadoes of the same dimensions. Everything seems perfectly normal now.
I have a cabinet project coming up that will require about 80' of a similar size dado in soft maple for shelf edging. Bit of a time constraint on this project and that is why I am worrying more than I typically would.
