Yes it has been superceeded and the sabre fence is now available as an upgrade for the BS400. The sabre 450 is really an updated 400 with an extra 2 inchs of cut and upgraded fence and blade guides, along with the price.

This used to be the way using a lockshield valve but are now taboo due to efficiency concerns. Like everything it has caused more complexity especially when you use a smart circulator pump. The normal way is to use something like an automatic bypass valve like this which works on...

Yes I have seen them doing this with traction engines and with modern motors at high voltage it would be extremely efficient. Some huge excavators also work plugged into the grid where the motors just turn pumps to produce hydraulic power for everything.

In some ways the data is key to the running of the modern NHS, when you visit any hospital it is more than evident that all this patient data is often in paper form and being wheeled around the building by some porter. You watch a nurse take patient data on some machine, write it on the...

One of the current problems with arable farming is the tractor, think how much pollution is created by driving a tractor up and down the field to plough, seed and then the combine to harvest supported by multiple tractors. Electric tractors would need huge battery capacity so is there going...

Sounds more Scottish than American unless it is for Americans with Scottish ancestry.

Don't take all the information as being 100% as some is a little stretched ! My BS400 is supposed to take a maximum of a 1 inch blade but it just would not tension it enough so 3/4 is for me maximum. I would say that a 2Kw motor input power is minimum and that a quick tension release makes...

Yes @Cabinetman is on the right tracks, these boilers have many built in safety features, the days when the heat exchanger was a great lump of cast iron and almost bomb proof are long gone so the heat exchangers these days need protection and firing the burners when they have no water is not...

750 watts seems small for any machine, most bandsaws seem to be around the 2000 watts input on single phase. With old machinery then three phase is more common and having a decent digital phase convertor would open up many possibilities especially with you looking for a P/T. With some...

It is the fact that you know it is there, without it you know that it will just chop bits off if you let it so you keep your distance and avoid getting anywhere near it but with sawstop giving you that last line of defence then you might be tempted to work nearer the blade or take the odd...

They are very much linked, we are thinking of the distribution amongst the people but what about the wealth distribution between countries where we are seeing a drain from the west to the east and lets not forget Amazon who are having a massive impact on UK retail and have essentially moved UK...

That is an issue because like anything if you become to comfortable then you can become complacent and that is when accidents can happen. If you are a sawstop user and then one day you are working in another workshop and do not appreciate the dangers of this saw without sawstop then it might...

For you living in Cornwall then it is easy to just pop round to Benchdogs in a van and buy their ready made MFT tops or have a custom one made. Not as easy for others living miles away. https://benchdogs.co.uk/collections/mft-tops

But is that not always the case, the younger generation are living with what decisions are made by the older generation until they become the older generation and then make the decisions. The real problem is that too many bad decisions seem to be made because they benefit that current...

If you think what they are generating then that is a really insignificant amount of compensation and have you thought about any impact on your house if you ever decide to sell it ? Much better at sea where they get plenty of less turbulent air due to no hills and buildings.

That makes it much clearer, it gives scale to the image in post 34 and is a great build that I am sure will inspire others to follow suit.

When the tank is cold, ie say 18° C then if the pressure within is regulated to 2 bar then the pressure for the expansion vessel should be 2 bar which means equilibrium and the vessel will be empty of water. Now as the cylinder is heated and the water expands it will move the diaphragm to start...

As they say, no pain no gain so maybe to get any benefits from anything there is some pain somewhere to put up with.

What type of ply are you using ? I cannot find how you have dealt with the edges except Could you detail more on the choice of materials please .
