I'm a Mechanical Engineering student, so I don't know a whole lot about electricity yet, so please bare with me. My dad wants me to put a sub panel in the garage because his power tools are taking too much off their current circuit. We currently have 150A service. I was wondering how many amps I can sub off of the 150? Thank you.

I am an Electrical Engineer with a Master?s Degree, a Professional Engineering license in 9 States, certification as an Electrical Administrator in Washington State, and I do know about the code. All that notwithstanding, I do not know enough to do the job you are describing.
