Sorry for the PS-HP-Confusion... my mistake

The system in Switzerland is the same as in Sweden.

I know that the motor was mounted on a steam cleaner before. I will try to decipher the Nameplate. From the seller it got these informations: 220V, 1PS, 1425U/min

This is the picture for the description in my last post.

The thing on top of the motor (which is probably a capacitor?) has 2 blue cables going into the motor.

I hope someone can help me...

Then there are 4 pins to connect the cables: 1) blue and black 2) empty 3) empty 4) red and yellow From the plug there is a red cable going to pin 1 and a white cable to pin 4.

@ fa: Yes indeed it is inspired from the north young blood but the step will be different. Very small board for my girlfriend... @ OAC & doughboyshredder: I will check the wires and post a photo :-) It would be very nice if I dont have to turn and readjust everything because I have nearly finish...

Thanks for the help. My new shop is indeed really nice and just 10 meters away from the living room. Sometimes I think I am dreaming... Is there a way to change the rotating direction of the motor. It is a normal 230V motor with 3 pins. Now the drum is pulling the wood inwards an this is very danger...

Got 50m sanding paper on a roll yesterday. I think I have nearly everything to builld the thickness sander. I have built the first part of the frame today. I am concernd if the core will stay in the planer (sander ;-)) crib because they are no rollers to push the material down in a thickness sander....

Is there a minimum order value for this heating mat? Sounds interesting :-)

I didn't use a router because I hate MDF dust I saw a lot of picutres where people are doing exactly the same thing with a bandsaw so I thought it would also work with a jig saw. I finally cut all the 32 circles without an accident

Have a look at this: http://www.swiss-composite.ch/pdf/i-trickski.pdf I know it's in German but there are also a lot of pictures.

There are "a lot" of people who are building kiteboards. I know a German and a French community and I am sure there is also one in English. I think this would be a good starting point.

@ G-man: Makes sense!

Should I try to sand the shaft evenly or give it in professional hands ($$$)...?
