Yeah the plan is to screw 18mm hardwood ply over the existing floor to deal with point loads and add some rigidity.

Axminster AW2260S lists at 170kg, the extractor I've specced to support it is 48kg when installed. I'm limited to 13A, so there's not a lot to shortlist from. The bandsaw is a bit over 100kg, I guess a bit more with the extras bolted on.

Very interested in getting a planer-thicknesser into my workshop (née shed) which already is home to a lot of tools, a compound mitre saw, bench sander, bench pillar and most recently a floor standing bandsaw. The weight of the latter, particularly as it is wheeled, gave me pause before...

Much the same could be sai Much the same could be said about ICE. Fair bit of work been done on petrol, diesel was a bit of late comer developmentally; and both really got a shift on with the advent of vehicle electronics (despite increasing emissions challenges - e.g. Kawasaki's ZX10 was...

Batteries have been in development for rather longer than the ICE.

It's a good thing for us now, because we get cheaper electricity. But as more people get EVs, and more people get storage, and more people get heat pumps, off peak will stop being off peak so our costs will rise. Battery users can shift recharge to other times, EV users (the ones who need to use...

Not about total consumption, it's about peak loads and the huge shifts in consumption patterns. Having a small EV as a second car and an interest in data, the car's consumption is off the charts compared to all else, despite working from home, a large garden office/gym and an increasing...

Most won't, we found when researching a freezer to go in the (former, now workshop) shed. Beko was the only make that was good value (gets good results in tests and doesn't cost an arm and a leg) and would operate in sub-zero environments. It's related to the cooling cycle used.

BMW Motorrad sell an additive that helps keep petrol fresh (there's a lot of BMW bike owners max out at 1.5k a year and most of that in one summer trip, so BMW have plenty of experience of fuel being stored for a long time ;) )

That's how it started for me, now it falls off under the weight of a heavy bit... I'll be trying the spindle fixes today, will add in the heat the chuck before fitment method. But if all else fails the part number is 5906820019 direct from Scheppach (I couldn't find a UK parts supplier).

I'm also a biker, I can't resist noisy machinery :D

Hi I have a Scheppach DP19 Vario which keeps dropping the chuck. No reflection on the general quality of the machine, it seems accurate enough and the various features work well (if I was being picky I'd have to say the rack and pinion mechanism has too much play although that might (also) be...

and machinery keeps being added, along with suitable reinforcing plywood on the floor and supports for the base frame... I'm an enthusiastic amateur with ambitions. So far alongside various handheld power tools I've acquired a compound mitre saw, bench sander, pillar drill and most recently a...
