I worked on live 480 and 4160V gloved up, also seen another get tossed 16ft by 4160V, it is great just throughs you, and 2 with melted shoes and a dime in his pocket that looked like a small rivet.
They were told the substation was off line and they did not check, Kinda like the brain/body burn in the "Green Mile" you dont want to see or smell it!!!!

Are you using an extension cord? Shop smiths don't like them and may be sucking up your needed juice??

I worked with the contractor, so my garage/shop has a 20amp dedicated circuit for the SS and SS dust collection vacuum. I turned off the vacuum and the SS still thru the circuit. I do think I had the coupler too tight and the resistance to spin was the trigger. Anyway, I hope it was that simple. Thank you for your thoughts.
There is a simpler way other than destroying the house. I simply pulled 2 new 20 amp circuits into my shop. One runs the Shopsmith, and the second one is over the workbench for the lights and other power tools I use.
