    Elliot Minor wood working machine.

    Hi Heimlaga Thank you for the reply. The table that caeme with this is a piece of 3/4 ply, I suspect it probably had a steel table hence the quastion about the manual. There is a Elioot major that dos have aworkshop manual, I might buy that and try and scale it down.

    Wood turning lathe power feed or manual if that's a thing

    NVR switch for a Perform table saw.

    Good Morning CHG and Sunnybob. I'm afraid that my electrical expertise sits around the level of changing a fuse or a bulb, I have plugged in other machines and they work fine, I'll buy a glow pen today and I'll have a look on YouTube to see what the brushes look like and where they might be...

    Jig to cut triangula staves

    Hi Steve and Custard A sled seems the way to go, I had thought of running it over the planer but not under it, fortunately for my needs I can do this in shorter lengths as the finished staves only need to be 8" - 10" long. Sunnybob, think of an irregular Toblerone, only 36" long...
