Oh my god you're a genius!

Looks mechanical to me

I get that, it would be pointless to have these forums in the first place if we followed that advice. "Go to the dealer or speak to an electrician" would be the response to most questions. I'm in a situation where the bandsaw is dangerous to use in it's state and I'm seeking help from those who...

Yes that's a real head scratcher. What outlay would I be looking at to replace the relay? It would be nice to be able to use the old buttons and have the safety features.

It's the push-stick police here to doll out unhelpful remarks that don't answer the thread and to push their own insecurities onto others. I'm posting in a forum precisely because I'm not an electrician, otherwise I wouldn't need to. My word butt out and read another thread if you're going to be...

'Ax'... 'nvr'?

Could I use this one I salvaged from a old plastic fantastic table saw? The switch costs almost the same as what I would get for the saw anyhow 😂

Surface mount and working is ok with me. I bought it not for it's aesthetics but to do a job. Is this one sufficient? https://www.axminstertools.com/kedu-kjd17b-nvr-switch-230v-1ph-102532?glCountry=GB&gclid=CjwKCAjw6MKXBhA5EiwANWLODPAMJTdwpIiydWXd7FgMnN8fSDBNR9oh753Oy9EpS58VjOftV8yMPBoCekEQAvD_BwE

The 3 phase motor it had to start was 2800. I was surprised too and thought the guy had got the wrong one but he matched it to the brook Crompton it came with so must have been geared like that before

Hey thanks I got thank link when I bought a startrite table saw and don't have the money to splurge £60+ on a switch. Need to do it as cheaply as possible as I went into overdraft to buy the machine 🙄.

Disclaimer: Hi there I've spent the last couple of days searching Google and these forums and found threads discussing this problem but I couldn't understand the best response given by Fitz. I have dm'ed him in the hopes he can put it into simpler/step by step terms for me but am guessing he's...

Just had a look at the threads and phew that's a lot of push sticks 😂 Great resources to have to hand, thanks for sharing.

Ok I think I've found a solve to my issue with the two push sticks. My concern is the lack of control you get with a push stick in regards to being able to keep contact with the material whilst putting pressure laterally and vertically as it works through the blade. I don't have one but I plan...

I have to confess to being a teacher by trade and go from school to school teaching loads of kids who I only see for 45 mins a week. If they're laughing, they're learning. I feel that in the same vein, if we can have fun whilst having conflicting ideas we can keep a positive energy that's...

I have had a beard for the past 8-10 years and had it since I first met my wife. I had to shave it off due to an altercation with some asbestos tiles and I looked like a P.O.W as the sun hadn't touched my face for so long! You need to post a picture of the grey beast.

But that's my point, in my mind you're ranking your digits in higher regard than your head/life when you're trying to manoeuvre a piece through a machine like Mr Bean drives a car using the brushes and paint tins 🤣 'Brown trouser moments LOL. I bought a track saw after cutting a sheet of ply on...

Thanks for the link, making my way through it - have to say the epic moustache is both glorious and very distracting.

Haha - that's my wife's favourite quote when using my expensive pliers as a hammer and cutlery as a screwdriver when there are 20 of them in the garage and four in the next room 🤬

Thanks everyone who has posted, I'm getting free health and safety training and a lively discussion. If anyone has taken offence, take a minute to consider that your advice, input etc could lead to myself or someone else avoiding an accident so it's not wasted time or on deaf ears. I won't stop...

Oh dear, I've been clumsy in my approach, wording and inadvertently caused offence. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Can you elaborate why you use two sticks and never touch the table? I mean if you do as your grandfather did, you presumably wouldn't have a riving knife, dust extraction...
