Dan You have done a fantastic job, but can I point out something. Going to anyway.

Please reposition your box so you are not going over the top of rotating equipment, and make the E-stop in a better place at the same time. Even your sleeves give me shudders.

Sorry call me old fashioned or scared.

Yup, understood, and I share the view.
The whole kit & kaboodle is on the wooden board and can be repositioned (within cable length limits).
The thing is if you look at any mini-lathe or even the midi-lathes, guess where the e-stop button etc. is?

Yup! Not a million miles from that dangerous spinny-thing. :)

I'm glad you said this. I didn't dare.
But part of my job in 75-6 was planning pneumaticly operated safety systems and thus I agree with what you say!
In fact I'd put it on the front of the machine, in the middle, i.e. at a point where it can be reached easily by a hand, a knee, a hip, a foot in fact any part that isn't caught in the machinery! If it would get in the way of operating the machine then ...... a foot switch.
I used to have to design safety screen mechanisms that locked into place once closed, the operation couldn't start until said screen was locked and the screen couldn't be opened until the operation was over. Think presses for panels in car factories. BL Oxford was one of my customers. Health and Safety at Work Act came in in 1974 and I started the job in early 75.

I do appreciate that Dan doesn't need any of this latter, but still, I've caught enough clothing in things like angle grinders to think along the same lines as yourself. ;)
