Anyone know of anything that's any good? We've recently burned up 3 of Milwaukee's biggest and baddest saws, 6180-20, 5.4 hp 15 amp. We had a old Milwaukee that was thrashed way harder for 10 years or more before it gave up. This new crap is junk.
How far is the outlet from the breaker panel? I have seen issues with larger power tools, and you end up with excessive voltage drop to the tool.
A motor needs x amount of power to accomplish the task. So lower voltage will just result in more amperage drawn and you can burn up the motor is short order.
Have fixed some of these issue in industrial installations by just installing 10 AWG wire, kept it on a 20 amp breaker, so didn't have to change the outlet.

What is the voltage on the outlet with no load?
