One of my recent "new" machines (acquired at the same time as the
Unisaw that was the subject of another thread several days ago, and
which made the trip home just fine, thankyouverymuch) is an
Invicta/Delta 22-650 (aka Rockwell RC-33) planer. 220V, 2HP, single
phase motor.

Unless someone suggests another possiblity, I'm going to assume that
the switch is faulty in some way that doesn't show up at low
voltage/current, and that it simply needs replacing. Anything else I
ought to check first?


New switch. Probably just a case of dirty, if it checks out, but you really
don't care for about six bucks, do you? The planer's a great one, should
last for years. Don't bother to try and compare it to current offspring,
they just don't measure up in material and workmanship.

Oh yes, if your switch is on the box like mine, it's a place that can use
some compressed air once every so often. Damp dust can do what you
experienced. I've seen it in motors stored where it can get damp.
