2 machines on 1 20A 2 pole breaker . a planer would draw the most around 10A the rest would be under 7

add up the amps shown on the name plate of the machines do not plug in more than 16 amps into a circuit on a 20A breaker. or more than 24 Amps on a 30A curcuit

I used the 80% rule

No, but if more than one machine will be operated at the same time it would be a good idea to avoid tripping a breaker.
