If I had a missus, as if she would auction off all my stuff. She would be a pro at using the saw and jointer and thicknesser etc etc. because if I'm not mistaken, a wife is free labour? Pretty sure that's how it works.
Anyways, I got it all finished and working and the wires are fairly neat and tidy inside the box. I checked the switch so that it it doesn't start up again without pressing the Start button and that's all good.
wiring inside the motor.

Wiring inside the switch enclosure. The earth leads are tied together and bolted to the back wall of the cabinet.

Hi Kuffy,
I'm in full agreement with all the recommendations to get a sparky - though I do know my way around electric wiring. My contribution here is to inquire if you have a safety switch installed on your property? Sometimes called ELCB switches (earth leakage circuit breaker) these can save your life if there is an 'unexpected' error with wiring. I am not saying that you can wing it if you have one, just that they are a damn good idea - and legally required in at least some states.
Good luck
David

Yes David, the house is only 9 years old and is equipped with safety switches. The safety switches are my insurance policy which allows me, in my mind, to attempt trial and error mains voltage electrical work. So perhaps 'my' safety switches are more of a danger to myself than they are good

Just a small point but where the wires go thru the black metal casing you, at least, need to fit cable entry grommets so that they won't chaff due to vibration and wear thru the insulation.
Catalogue - Clipsal by Schneider Electric
or better still cable glands which clamp the wire for strain relief.

Very good recommendation to fit the grommets!
Recently I had my BIL (industrial electrician) visit and while here he checked over my tools and found that one of my DeWalt RADS (1970's versions) had worn through the outer insulation on the cable from the arm to the motor & had started to wear the inner insulation. That RADS has done a lot of work on house sites when we used to cut frames pre trusses & wall frames and then in a truss plant cutting webs etc for trusses. Everything tested OK on both, but that doesn't meant that a fault can't present in the near future.Mobyturns
