[QUOTE="Outback, post: 50091, member: 1194"] I was going to make a jig with cam setup to process material by hand but after reading the NSW laws of what's not allowed , _ the exact wording below , I see the word mechanical ! Power-operated equipment cannot be used on land or in waters for surface disturbance, excavation or processing. Power operated equipment includes mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, battery and electrical equipment or machinery So I looked up mechanical & got this :- Mechanical system, a system that manages power to accomplish a task that involves forces and movement . So it seems whatever I make can be deemed mechanical & thus be illegal ? What worries me is if I go to the trouble & expense of making a device for resale it wont sell . :( Imagine asking the relevant authorities for a clear yes or no answer to this after suppling a diagram ''' :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
