As a previous topic mentioned I have experienced the same issue recently. While I thought it was my belt tensions I adjusted since winter weather hit my shop. I then moved everything into my basement for a permanent location year round. While doing so I emptied my shop vac and it was quite full therefore I’m sure the static build up was quite large and the culprit. However tonight I have an empty vac and it’s stopped twice and one time while using a second vac to keep dust down following the machine.
I’m cutting Azek/PVC so it has to be the static that is causing this. While it’s running currently I saw the recommendation to lightly spritz with water so I have done this. But can someone show me with a picture or even better a video on how to best ground the dust collection?
I cut primarily pvc and acrylics for permanent weatherproof signage. So I have to keep this machine moving.
I think that article is a good starting point but it is incomplete. I think that if you really want to address the grounding properly you need to use a good voltmeter and measure the resistance values throughout the whole machine. The solutions in that article definitely did not solve my disconnect problems.
