Follow-up

I have my lights (fluorescent) coming off the main house panel and
all else coming off a sub panel for the shop. That way I can lock
out all machines and outlets when I have grand kids working in the
shop.

The shop is in my basement and I believe that general circuits (those
not dedicated to a specific use) are required have a GFCI.

All my outlets and plugs are in good shape but the GFCIs are 9 or 10
years old. Still, it's hard to imagine they both failed at the same
time.

I will see if I can get compressed air into the motor (although I
think it's sealed)to further blow it out. My 13" Rigid planer ran OK
on one of the circuits since I got enough of the board flattened
before the jointer quit to plane both sides.

I'll report back after the air trial.


For now, I'd nix the lighting concerns. I have to go back and look at your
original post tomorrow, as dpb pointed out that I had missed some thing(s)
earlier. Right now... absent that look tomorrow, I'm leaning toward a
problem at the device. But - I do have to look at this when I'm not tired.
Oh hell - that could take a while...
