• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Yes, saw that on another thread. That must take a lot of time and effort so he must be unhappy about something. Hopefully the mod's can resolve any issue.

I've got the new switch gear and will try to attach it where the original buttons are - pity it's such a big box but at least it's enclosed?

From the circuit diagram I can suss out the connections but are the wires RST & UVW universal circuit symbols?

Quite normal use of letters to label the connections Rod.
Just use R&T for the input and U & W to the motor.

As a test you can wire it all up apart from connecting the motor to check the NVR action.
The tiny yellow button on the side of the thermal trip is there to test that the contactor drops out when the thermal trip triggers. The bigger yellow button, resets the thermal trip.

The case needs to be that size to route the thicker, stiff wires needed if the NVR was being used at it's full rating and three phase.

Finally managed to get a bit of shop time and the BS is up and running.
A bit of a carbuncle but it does the job [emoji3]
Thanks for all the advice.

That looks to be the same switch as I fitted to my wadkin AGS, I wired in a remote stop switch that I can step on to stop the saw.
 
The Startrite has an emergency foot switch which operated mechanically by a series of levers to the original switch gear - now defunct. Though I think it should still operate a brake?

How did you connect yours up Dave?

Rod
 
The stop switches are nc so they are wired in series with the normal stop switch and the overload contacts. I can open the box and take some pictures if you would find them useful.
 
That would be great Dave - less chance of me doing something wrong.
Also I could probably do something similar on my pillar drill which has the same NVR?

Where did you source the foot switch?
