To follow up on this: It's worth getting one of the 18-30 dollar ones at home depot with the rubber mouth/nose cover, and the replaceable "cannisters"... There's a lot of metal dust and particles, not to mention tons of fabric from raking the wheels... Those little "swine flu" masks don't quite cut it in my mind.

I don't know much about electric stuff, but I would guess the buffer draws the most current when it's starting up, because it's doing the most work while accelerating. That may be why it blew your breaker. That actually suggests to me that you should look into your wiring if you're gonna run power tools on that circuit.

Well, I haven't had any problems since adopting the new method, but I'll mention it to my father... Worth being safe.
