Folks -
Okay, Uncle! From all those responses you'd think I was giving away a free night with Paris Hilton, a NOS 1939 Unisaur, 500 BF of the wood of your choice, and any three of Steve Knight's planes... But I digress...
Thank you for all of your responses, even the homicidal ones... I *am* a layman, and if my terminology was unclear, I apologise. What I had intended to do, was to have a single run of 12/3 feed two 20a circuits, so that I would only have to wrassle with one string of romex. I wanted to have two, two plug units in a duplex box, each plug unit being on a separate circuit, sharing a neutral and ground. Using ASCII, this is kinda what I was after...
C1 C2
I I I I \ n / \ n / / n \ / n \ I I I I
But, I also want to have things protected by GFCI... So, I'll take the long way and play it safe... I've taken the 12/3 back in exchange for 12/2 and will have completely separate wire runs...
I am sure I'll have more questions. Who do you want next to go with an old Parks 36" bandsaw, Halle Berry?
Let me know...
John
