Wot?

I could have all my tools on the same circuit EXCEPT the dust collector
and air compressor, since they are the only ones that run at the same
time as my other tools.

You use pneumatic tools and the table saw at the same time?

A compressor can come on at any time.

Yes, I understand the compressor could kick on even when it's not in use, but
remember that "best practice" is to shut the compressor down and drain the
water at the end of the day. If it cycles on, when not in use, once a day,
then you have a pretty considerable air leak somewhere.

Are you saying that you never use your compressor in the same day as your saw?

Does using your compressor cause it to kick on at some random time *later*
that day, after you're finished using it? If so, then it's time to check your
air piping for leaks.
