The motor, from the late 70s, fits in place, belt and pulley still TBD (and to be ordered / built):

The push button box (ON/OFF NO/NC) ; Chinese price and quality, but "IP65" rated, sits on top. The power connector is fixed below the mounting plate. The IP65 rated enclosure for motor protection, power relais and 12VDC power supply (pump) go in there. As there are now drill holes in the machine to mount all this stuff, the lower part cannot be used as cooling fluid cotainer. Either I will re-seat the screws with oil resistant silicone, or - more likely and a nicer solution anyway - just put an old oil canister in there.

A sophistcated mechanism pushes the "stop" pushbotton by hand or if the saw reaches the "stop" level. New M6 threaded bolt used.

The lever to fix the end stop bar thing was stuck and needed some brute-force disassembly, metal dust/crap removal and some new grease:

Todo:

Nice to have:
