NVR switch w/overload protection for 1¼ hp motor.

[Jelly]

I recently got a Dewalt 1201 off another forumite with a couple of declared faults, I've fixed all the mechanical bits, and am now about to re-wire the switchgear.

We're discussing the potential of it being built into a bench, so my intention is to replace the arm mounted NVR with a wall mounted model with overload protection, a remote E-Stop at knee height, and wire it direct to mains via a 16A Isolator.

I have the E-Stop already, but am shopping for a suitable NVR, Axi seems to stock one which will do the job but I'm inclined to think that I could get one cheaper elsewhere, however as a non-electrician* I'm finding it a bit hard to find what I need from the likes of YESSS Electrical or C.E.F.

Can anyone suggest an appropriate switch cheaper?

*I'm planning to go over the details with an electrician-friend before buying, and having him check the installation.

I'm not familiar with the dewalt so i don't know what hp/kw the motor is however i found this one below.

Although axi call it an nvr it's really a Direct Online Starter. This one comes with a 240v coil & overload suitable for 0.75 to 1.5 hp (746 watts = 1 hp)
Really easy to add remote stop/starts to these.

Thanks mark, you've just confirmed what I was starting to suspect after going through the various electrical factors websites and reading some wiring instructions for various products:

• "NVR" ≈ DOL == suitable Contactor, NO & NC pushbuttons in convenient enclosure.

Now to search properly...
