I have a Delta 1.5 Hp dust collector I bought used, so I'm not sure
how old it is. I currently have it plugged into the 20 amp circuit in
my shop. I also have a Rigid TS3650 Table Saw, plugged into the same
circuit. This works fine if I walk over and turn on the DC then go
use the TS.

I bought one of those vac switches at Woodcraft the other day. This
is the thing you plug your DC into and then a tool. When you power on
the tool, the DC comes on. This works fine with my sander, mitre saw,
router, etc. But when I use the TS the breaker pops. This is new
electrical as of 1 year. I guess my question is does anybody know if
there is a kind of breaker that will handle a momentary spike like
this or could there be something wrong with my DC that is causing
this. I do know that if I try to run the DC on a 15 amp circuit all
by itself it will blow the breaker.

Something sounds like it could be wrong, I use a 1.5hp collector that
recommends a 20 amp circuit, on 15 amp circuit along with a 15 amp router.
Both coming on at the same time is a problem.

In answer to your question, there are slow blow breakers to address
situations like this but I would still be cautious.
