Woodnut65 is on a distinguished road


Hi: If your router is rateed at 15 amps, it should be running on a 20 amp circuit,
which is standard for power outlets. those circuits call fo number 12 ga wire.
I would check to see what else is on the circuit if your using a 20 amp curcuit.
Any other motor comming on while your using the router will cause to line voltage to drop, and the current to rise. That's because motors draw more current at start up.

Hope it helps.. Woodnut65
