First problem is that we are mostly metric but do have some specialist suppliers who do imperial, brass / bronze is the next one. There is a uk supplier of carriage bolts in stainless but not 3/16 . 1/4 20 Unc and 5/16 16 Unc are nearest. 3/16 is close to 5mm and 1/4 very close to 6mm...

For a single LED you will be given the required forward current and voltage, ie 20mA @ 3V and if you have a 5 volt supply then the resister required is given by (5-3)/0.020 = 100 ohms This is ok for some applications but the resister will disipate energy in the form of heat so with a higher...

Not if you have a sidecar !

I should have added that you could also loop out the boiler and pressurise to see if that holds pressure, this would ensure the excess pressure valve is not seeping or the expansion vessel.

Have you actually done a pressure test on the pipe work ? This is the only way to confirm that there is a leak and maybe get closer to where it is, you may have to disconnect pipework but guessing is a good way to spend lots of money and get nowhere. F22 is low pressure, either actual low...

But how do you get this message over to people, I am sure that many do know of the consequences of their lifestyles but choose to ignore it as it is there right and freedom to choose if they want to gamble with there health and shorten their lifespan. We have had generations of smokers and...

You could use a central mullion / stile that would deceive the eye and make it look less wide.

Maybe they are after the same results that the mass producers get using CNC . If butting two sides together for a corner it needs to be a good clean cut unless you use a panel and frame technique where the panels could be out of kilt but never be seen.

Compared to the Makita it is much more compact and lighter with the advantage that you can have a pilot drill in the chuck and a driver bit in the hex adapter and just swap them over easily, plus both the offset and angle adapters have been very useful. If making 20mm holes for an MFT it is...

Yes it was odd compared to my Makita's with a slide switch but now I find I can still use a thumb to reverse direction although it took some geting used to. I would think if you have small hands and short thumbs then you will find the way I do it hard. If driving a lot of long timber screws...

Take a look at the milwaukee https://www.sgs-engineering.com/milwaukee-m12fddxkit-202x-m12-12v-fuel-installation-drill-driver-with-interchangeable-heads-kit This is really handy and if you are getting on a bit it is much lighter to use than the bigger makita drills / drivers which I only...

. The whole economy is based upon wealth creation and has been fueled by fossil fuels so it must take the blame for climate change but we are also driving the problem with out culture of materialism and lifestyles that some people take advantage of to promote personal wealth at our expense. I...

We are only the problem because we have reached retirement and are leaving gaps everywhere, our Gp surgery has lost four doctors all to retirement so all the surgeries joined up to share the remaining doctors. There is a big difference in understanding what needs to be done and getting it...

I would agree that it being three phase then it would have required the brake as it would have been used in a business workshop and so really why remove something that you are lucky to have so just buy the big pure sinewave convertor and get woodworking.

That is because of the education system, they are clever parrots in recitation but many lack comprehension, problem solving and common sense so might be clever in a different way and most lack basic hand skills which is probably the dads fault with the just replace it attitude rather than fix it.

Let us know the outcome .

The Dc brake will throw a spanner in the works, you will need a pure sine wave convertor which will add some money to the unit. The Dc brake applies a DC current to the motor which will slow it down to a stop, you can adjust the amount of current injected. Did JFK suggest one of these...

I think when using this convertor to control two motors then you cannot have variable speed but then you don't really need that and would be better having three phase available to several machines, ie the spindle moulder. That suggest a TT type electrical supply where the protective earth is...

What about Andy Pandy, more character and an appropriate theme tune of " I am coming to play " or maybe Starmer & Raynor would be better represented by Bill or Ben and Little weed .

The item https://www.jfkelectricalni.com/product/digital-phase-converter-7-5kw-10hp-240v-in-400v-out/ is a 7.5 Kw convertor, fixed frequency and when I said it is larger than you need I had not realised the two pictures are of different motors so it will be ok for your two motor sedwick but it...
