    Putin is a loser

    When you still hold a hand of aces why be scared, Chinas's supplying far more to Russia than NATO is to ukraine and it is us that should be scared because after all this conflict is over look at what the new world will look like. You have a new Eastern alliance with the upcoming world super...

    Socket wrench?

    All the ones I have had, have had that spring loaded detent to retain the socket, the power drive versions normally use a pin. I will look tommorow as I think I might have a brand new 3/8 drive Britool one .

    Socket wrench?

    Because they are used to initially loosen a fastener, you don't want to subject your ratchet to the abuse a breaker bar can get.

    And of course the EV's are heavier as well .

    Climate change policy

    I wonder if they will use net zero as an excuse for all the bad roads and potholes because Tarmac comes from coal or petrol and asphalt from perol or crude oil all of which are on the extinction list to clean up the planet.

    President Elect's 'top team'

    That is because they are politicians, can we ever trust anything a politician says as apparently it is ok to tell minor mistruths and to make a CV look better.

    Sawstop demo and thoughts

    That is a relatively simple system where the ECU just continously monitors the circuit impedance, very similar to ABS sensors and will just bring up a warning light upon failure, the probability of a failure at the exact same point in time as an RTA is extremely unlikely. If the sawstop has...

    Buying a fully electric used car

    You need to factor in main dealer repair / servicing prices, but if going down this route then just buy new and replace it every two or three years so it is always under warranty. Round here main dealers just seem to ship them out to bigger main dealers whilst giving the customer an ICE...

    Sawstop demo and thoughts

    That is a good start towards safety, to take that further it would be better if before the saw was used that you had to touch the blade to engage a safety relay with force guided contacts that then allowed the machine to run, think about RCD's and that many people put there faith in them but...

    Buying a fully electric used car

    I think once you understand the complexity of modern motor control then you also know why these VFD's are not cheap and that there is not much difference in running a three phase motor from a three phase supply compared to a three phase motor running via an electronic drive except the amount of...

    President Elect's 'top team'

    Only history will judge, the republicans look like sore losers and are not happy losing everything but are trying to leave a mess behind for the Democrats, no not old Joes soiled underwear but just causing uneccessary trouble and de stabilising the planet. In any other business if the head...

    Buying a fully electric used car

    These motors are quiet complex often with gearing and lubrication built in and not cheap. The drive control is complex and is not a simple VFD attached to the pedal and they use complex vector control to give maximum torque, all good until it goes wrong but these motor control systems have...

    Sawstop demo and thoughts

    Sawstop is not but it seems bigger industrial brands like Altendorf are looking in this direction. When you look at tablesaws there are two distinct groups which also tend to fall into the home user or industrial. If you have a large sliding table saw then there is no reason at all to work...

    Buying a fully electric used car

    In your position I would not want to take a gamble on something but saying that modern cars are just money pits so either way there is risk. For me I would go petrol or diesel as then you are not tied to a main dealer for repairs and servicing and there are plenty of people to fix ICE vehicles...

    Sawstop demo and thoughts

    Sawstop saws are sawstop saws, the safety feature is not an add on but built into the saw so not a retrofit and therefore I doubt will be used on non saw stop saws. Bosch was working on a system called reacxx but it was susceptable to EMC . Other makers might look at this but in a...

    Sawstop demo and thoughts

    In what markets, do you think sawstop will takeover ? Do you really think it will replace products from companies like Itech and SCM in the industrial market.
