When wiring up, I anticipate that any socket could be single or 3 phase 32A, and build in redundancy. I’ve placed trunking around the workshop at ceiling level, so to get to a machine the wiring has to run around the shop. I have 12 machines that need wiring up, and don’t have their position...

I’m looking for somewhere between 200 and 500m of 4mm2 in the usual 5 colours to wire up the workshop. Where’s the best place to buy it from these days and what sort of price should I be expecting? (I’m going to wire the earth in 4mm2 too)

I know @Sideways has a Sedgwick he is slowly revamping. It’s was his own personal machine and was in superb condition. But being @Sideways before he sells it he’s going all over it to ensure it’s tip top. The only thing I will say, is it will take time, neither of us work to deadlines anymore🫣

For me, the golden era in politics was when we had two party leaders who were very clever, competent, committed and didn’t have one eye on the lecture / after dinner speaking circuit in the USA: John Smith and Margaret Thatcher. The biggest lose the country suffered was John’s untimely demise...

Unfortunately I think it was a choice at the election between the awful and terrible party. I can’t work out which is worse between the two main parties; the budget though may clinch it. I think the US of A has a similar dilemma when they vote!

Have you heard the joke about a care worker and a Barrister who came to rule a country? No, hold tight the punch line will come in the next 4.5 years if not sooner.

Well, I bow my head to your supreme knowledge of the law. Have you thought about applying to one of the top five legal company’s in the UK? You clearly gave a far better grasp of the law than they did!

Well, I can’t remember if your a legal beaver, but the advise was provided by Eversheds and specifically their HR team. I had to use Eversheds as the company was listed in the New York Stock-exchange and we had to be seen to be using one of the top five legal firms. I’m going back 8 years now...

The article is ageism , it mentions the guys age. I spent three years trying to get around the stupid law to continue to allow my ageing employees to have an easier time as they went into retirement. Most had worked for the company since they were a boy. If you think it’s all wonderful you’re...

I suggest if you haven’t, try manual labour when you’re approaching retirement. I ran manufacturing companies, that complied with the highest standards of H&S with all manual assistance where ever possible. However, when making certain products, it needs manual labour with a tack time that’s...

I do love Labour who in 2010 under Brown introduced the wonderful law of Anti Age discrimination . It was brilliant, instead of me allowing tge elderly workers to do the easier jobs and work at a lower pace, I had and we still tiday expect and require the elderly workers to do tge same jobs as a...

It’s a few years ago I was involved in paint systems. Legislation may well have changed, and my memory may well have faded. But, my recollection is that in certain conditions, eg volatile car paint spraying positive air pressure masks are mandatory that are supplied from a location outside the...

It’s just my opinion, and not to be taken as anything other. I believe for these types of machine the ability to spray solvent is to do with the materials used in the gun and feed tubes. It doesn’t relate to anti flash systems. Spray systems for highly volatile paints need a full anti flash...

I have to say, my first ‘have a go’ with airless was with a Screwfix Erbauer EAPS600 Electric Paint Sprayer 600W that costs c£200. It has both a primary and secondary filter and can take any of the standard nozzles from Wagner of Graco. It’s 200 bar pressure so the same as the premium brands...

A highly regarded and very knowledgeable architect who used to post on here highly recommended Bedec paint, if memory serves he used to state that it was the paint he specified for all external joinery.

I recently went through the same selection process of a an airless paint sprayer. I went down the Wagner route and selected the followimg...

Darn! Don’t mention Brigg!! He’s a star and we don’t want everyone starting to use him! How the heck will I get cutters made!!!😁😂

May I ask, why do you want to change the white aluminium oxide wheel?

Sounds like your fence needs adjusting. There is a secret adjuster in the locking casting, lookup Wadkin BGS10 restoration where we go through how to setup the fence. It’s the same fence.

Well done the Kiwis, they have retained the title. The UK who had qualified to be the rival was out classed by a better boat and crew. If you haven’t been following what I believe is probably the most exhilarating and exciting sport I’ve ever seen but sadly not covered by any major TV channel...
