I have an Ozito Rotary Tool, $40 from one of the sheds F.O.S. You can also get a DSE one (not as nice IMO) for $30. I've used mine plenty of times (never actually used it for building the TM case, wish I had it then) - sander, grinder, buffer, heaps of uses.Now I just need to find someone with a dremel. :huh: I cant really justify forking out >$100 for a tool ill probably only use once just yet...
Guys,
I have picked up one of these from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Mini-Digital-Temper...=item3efc23681f
The only difference that I can see is the earth is not required to connect to the unit.
Will all the other wiring remain correct? I will have my sparky brother check it before I plug it in, just want thoughts as I will make up a daigram for him to check.
My understanding is that the active is to be switched and it does not matter which one of the supply terminals is active and which is neutral.

I know its only 5 days but have you received the unit yet and used it? I'm looking at a TempMate but this looks like it does the job also!
And, anyone else used one of these babies? How was/is it?

Saturday project: Complete.
Thanks to all who have posted diagrams and pics - it sure helped for wiring mine up. I've used a Dick Smith jiffy box like someone else on here has, a terminal block and 2 extension cords.
Attached is my wiring diagram (the photo is just too complicated to follow). Please let me know if you think it's a downgrade on the current diagrams (diagram can be removed if it's considerably worse). The structure is the same, slight differences on the junction box, and mine has the heat wired in. Just a note for those wiring theirs up - the face panel needs to go on before you connect all the wires up.
Also attached... happy snaps of final product. It works fine (tested with an appliance in either heat or cool plugs and adjusted temps) so I'm pretty satisfied.
Cheers! :icon_cheers:
Edit: Adding things I said I would.
Don't mention it (okay, do). :beer:This thread is the gift that keeps on giving. Just wired mine up following your diagram and pics. Thanks again for postig them.
G'day got my tempmate today and looking at wiring up tomorrow, my mates a sparky and is coming over to do it but hes asking what materials he should try and grab from work. So just wondering that I should be asking for to make sure hes got everything. Any advice would be great
