Parallel cables like that are dangerous, and likely not code.

He grinds with a 1h/p 2x72 for hours at a time. Would it be practical/safe to just run another cable of the same or larger size in parallel wired together at the terminals? If it is #12 then another #12 should at least double the capacity. I think there is a formula for that...
