Vanilla Ice, K Kennedy, and DJ Earthquake knew about this in 1990.

Pictures from the debris dont look like the burnt shells of brick buildings to me; at least majorly of them dont. So if most buildings are timber framed & timber clad, in close proximity then .????????

Thanks for these responses; I will get to it with my calipers and find out how much space the existing cups take up; if I can remove these and add spacers then this may give me the space I need ! I will report back this evening after tea ! Thanks that's great !

Electrical wholesalers usually have a selection of rechargeable work lights; saw one in Rexel a year ar so ago for around £20

Thinking about it ; I would probably need to change them disks (are they called cups) anyway even if I could find a 3/4" thick wheel, as the original cups rely on mating to the flat side; cbn wheels dont have dead flat sides anyway

Do you mean the metal disks that sit each side of the wheel ?

This is similar to the one I have - except the price has more than doubled in the last 4 years https://unilite.co.uk/product/slr-1450/

Unilite are pretty good; had a small one for years and lasts a long time on 1 charge. They have lots of different sizes; likely find one equivalent to 100w bulb if that's what you mean

Yep looks like I might need to give it some jiggery pokery to make it fit. Might just buy a new grinder and have done with it tbh. Thanks for response !

Okay so I cut a 3/4 inch blank from mdf and this confirms it should be this width. The tool rest slot is also 3/4". I could remove the side covers but would prefer not to as that would mean the tool rest would be no use. Also it's a nice grinder so would prefer the correct size cbn wheel. Hey-ho...

Hi all and happy new year ! I have an old Ingersoll rand bench grinder and looking to find a cbn wheel for it. It's a smaller machine and unfortunately do not have the original wheels to measure, but know its imperial sized. The wheel diameter is 6" and the bore size is 1/2" I'm assuming the...

Toolstation have irwin clamps in sale...

Theres still variables before selecting the size of cable you need and the fuse size . Your proposed new circuits will rely on the size of supply cable to the workshop), if theres already a supply there then whats its size, type, length of run & existing protective device. If the supply cable is...

One thing that might have been missed is what is your proposed demand ? Once you know how much power you need then you can design around that. My 13a radial is all I need for small power & lighting. Have a small bandsaw and a mitre saw; and two led batten lights, never use any more than 1 power...

Yep sure does, all it is is a glorified extension lead with swa wiring 😀
