OK, I've got a question for you electrical or science gurus out there. I've got one of my Grizzly grinders shocking the hell out of me.
The Griz on the right is the one I use for hogging profiles and all rough work. When I'm using it you can see (and feel) it arcing right from the platen, around the belt and into my work piece and me. Now I don't mind a little shock every now and then...keeps the old heart going but, this is getting out of hand. I'm now getting zapped on the grinder and again when I go to cool a piece of metal in the water bucket. Big zaps now, it's actually arching out of the bucket. Two for one. The maching has a grounded plug, I've tried a rubber mat, rubber soled shoes, the outlet??? This started as cold weather set in so I thought it was a static charge since it happens on occasion with other machines but, this one has gotten totally out of hand. Help! I've got way too much hair to have it stand on end like this.
