AC-DC Power Supplies - Using Wall Warts

An interesting series on how to pick a power supply.  This actually is interesting to me as I want to make a ad/dc power supply to replace the battery pack on a battery operated chop saw.  The beauty of the chop saw is how compact it is, but the thing is gutless if you have to run it for any length of time.

    Hello all,

    An AC power supply typically takes the voltage from a wall outlet and lowers it to the desired voltage. As well as lowering the voltage some filtering may take place. An example use for an AC power supply is powering certain guitar effects pedals although it is more common for effects pedals to require DC. Thanks a lot.....
