projectnut,
Sounds like you have your machine tools set up ready to work when needed.
That's my goal in the end. To be able to step up to a machine and hit the go button without having to deal with rigging an extension cord or unplugging one to plug in another.
Even though it's just me and I'm not in any hurry, I know what I like.
The drill press is going next to the mill, if I have a large piece I can set the tables at the same height if needed for support or work holding.
I miss having a drill press, I've been using the mill. Yeah, it does the job, but a drill press is just easier and quicker to get the job done.
Shhh, I'm telling my wife I am doing some horse trading to pay for it. We kind of made an agreement we were done buying stuff, after the fire.
Just this last piece, wink.
Food for thought;
Magnetic/Thermal circuit breakers degrade a very small amount each time they are operated and should not be regularly used as a switch.

Somewhere in the back of my brain the number 100 comes up for circuit breaker cycle life??
I could be talking out of my posterior here. Not uncommon in my case.
That reminds me of the time I was hanging around on a Saturday at Dad's Ford dealership.there was always the chance some bozo would get in and try to use the machines for a little "government work". The last thing the boss wanted to see first thing in the morning was blood spattered walls and body parts laying on the floor from some guy who "thought" he knew how to operate the machines, and found out too late he didn't.
That guard has been removed, permanently.That guard around the chuck is pretty laughable!
