I have a kill-a-watt meter, and yesterday with a 2hp grizzly motor on a
table saw at full idle it pulls 11.4amps. Just before stall, say when
a board is pinching the blade on a 45 degree bevel cut, it pulls almost
19 amps.

The HF dust collector I own pulls about 9 amps at idle, and I've gotten
it to about 11.5 playing with long hoses and blast gates. I don't feel
the impellar to be large enough on this machine to really cause the
motor to pull more amps.

What do the nameplates say the amps are? I will guess they both say 20a?
