I've already cobbled up a linear using the old control transformer for a 
bunch of braking relays I used to have on the lathe.  And one of those 
relays, will control a bucket max sucking up the wooden swarf.  The jig 
motor reversing relay works, and about /12 the box is assembled, but my 
back & legs have petered out for a while, plus there's several items 
under clamping pressure, sitting in puddles of clear RTV.  And that 
needs to cure so I can handle it a bit less tenderly.

That braking assembly also will yield 2 more hexfet's, switching some 
dpdt ice cubes with a pair of 10 amp contacts, one of which will now 
control a shop vac "bucket max", which will be sucking up most of the 
dust I'll be making, but will run it thru a home-made cyclone separator, 
the parts to make it being pulled from a bin or 5 at Lowes if I feel 
like going over this evening after I see about rustling up some grub for 
us.  Its already coded into the hal file and the code works for the two 
functions I've tied to the axis left panels mist and flood checkboxes, 
or for the usual M7-8-9 codes.

All I need is the back to finish it, but with both functions, maybe 
Sunday/Monday for a smoke test.

And amazingly, another item I had ordered from Amazon, 2 more roundover 
bits, just reached out and grabbed my hand when I stuck it in the 
mailbox just now.

Thanks Jon.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
