    Quoted from edednedy:

    This is exactly why I don't ground my machines.

    Breakers weren't designed to protect people from getting shocked.

    There are new style breakers available now & have been for a long time . It is now law in Australia that these breakers be installed when work has been done on a circuit without one.
    Residual current devices.
    They sense milliamps differences & trip faster than a heartbeat.
    I just happen to have one handy as I am in the process of re wiring my house

    Ground your machines . You do not want to be the path to ground if there is a fault

    OP. Run the braid under your leg brackets to ground your legs. It will not kill you to do that. It may if you dont. (imagine a LIVE wire dropping on to the leg bolt) It is possible.
