Thanks Nick. Sorry if this sounds stupid, but the one switch says to use it for the bandsaw and the other for the rest of the tools. Should they both be on at the same time. Probably a mute point since they both just blow the fuse. I'll heed your advice.
Thanks,
Gary

Your best bet is to pack it back up and send it to me. I have the tools to work on that sort of a problem and would appreciate very much having a Crafter's Station. BTW, you stole it at $200.00.

I used to have a Crafter's station. The switches are to be operated separately only!!! Since these are the SS safety switches, remove the red tongue first from the one not being used. This way there's no chance to turn on both at the same time.

Get your Crafter's station wiring checked out. I had problems with my machine - had to hand turn the spindle to get it to rotate in the reverse direction. But never threw a breaker.
