additional 220V circuit run to the shop would have meant increasing the service to the house.
And I may be mis-quoting my electrician as to what the issue(s) were. I'm no expert on that.
In any case he advised me what setting up another 220V machine in the shop would cost as far
as Service, breaker panels, etc. It was beyond budget.

I gottcha Marf and I apologize for being such a nit picker.
However, (here I go again) If you do have a 220v circuit in the shop, you could prolly have a second outlet on the circuit .
I mean if your present outlet is fed by as low as a 10amp breaker you can draw almost 10 amps. Full load draw (at stall load) of a 1/2 Hp. motor is 4.9 amps, 2 of them stalled (how likely is that?) is still only 9.8 amps.
Sorry, I'll go away now and try to be good.
