All,
Here I go again with a ridiculous question but...
I installed a dedicated shop circuit in my breaker box. Following what I thought were building code rules, I installed a 20-amp GFCI circuit breaker so I would not have to put in GFCI outlets everywhere. Everything worked great for a while, until I recently got a new router table and started trying to dust off my old Hitachi M12V. The router worked (and works) great on my other electric circuits but immediately trips the GFCI circuit. All my other power tools work fine on the new circuit. Even through extension cords and even while running two or three items. 1100 CFM Jet Dust collector, Jet 10" table saw, 14" Grizz Bandsaw etc. What gives? This is a 3 1/4 HP router, but I never had any problems before. Any tips? Someone suggested I try plugging it into a GFCI outlet in the bathroom or kitchen to see if it trips. I'll post that works out.
Thanks guys!
