    Dust Extractor advice needed.

    It's quite easy to make nice gentle bends using a bandsaw and a length of pipe. Cut wedges and glue together.

    SCM Minimax S45 Bandsaw Teardown & Overhaul

    How to insulate this wall?

    Take a look at R values. Higher number is more insulating. PIR is better insulator than Glass wool or polystyrene. You maybe able to find some excess boards from a nearby build to keep cost down?

    Bent drill spindle

    Routers and 'No volt release' switches...

    Its not the fact that the loss of electrical supply is the only issue (though the frequency does depend on location) The main danger is plugging it in with it switched on!

    Remote Control/Dust Extractor

    Sorry are you saying the fuse within the remote itself is going? If so get your friendly sparks to wire it into the starter coil for the DOL starter (Presuming the dust extractor has one)
