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 '''
