Because with so many staff you can only handle so many patients and you really do not want to push medical staff to do longer hours or by setting targets because they are dealing with peoples lives and not producing widgets on a production line. There is no fast way to recruit new medical...

That reminded me that for ages I used Irwin clamps as they were half price at a show and thought a lever has to exert more force by it's very definition. Then I brought some Bessey parallel clamps with the screw type handles and found they actually exerted far more force and it was easier to...

With the current chaos and budget then it was to soon to drop it, let the markets get over the budget first. But what finacial predictions can you actually believe when you get every possible synario and now we have an American president who has not taken well to Starmer so maybe they have...

It gets worse, rather than use a spoon or other utensil they use chicken feet as a utensil. I suppose it saves on the washing up but licking chicken feet is some fetish !

It actually can replace the DOL because by it's very nature it is a NVR, there is no way to leave the machine on. What you must have is a simple isolator which can be a metal clad switch.

You need a real electrician and not one of these so called domestic installers, you don't find DOL's and NVR's in domestic houses ! Also these switches on our woodworking machines tend to be a cheap version of a proper DOL and can be problematic, I have changed mine twice on the 400. With my...

I use a foot switch to actually operate my pillar drill, it means I have both hands free and because the drill bit is not spinning I can ensure alignment, then just press the pedal which makes things easy for me. Reference your foot switch, this sounds like an E-Stop and that would be wired...

That is an interesting point, the Microjig clamps are ok as I have used them but not looked at my Makita tracksaw ones.

Just wondering what peoples views are on the two main types of clamps used on worktops with 20mm holes and what you use. You have these screw types amongst many other brands or these lever types from Bessey, Festool and Makita as well as some lesser know brands from the far east. I...

I knew I had seen woodburning somewhere, just the name eluded me.

I can remember that smell from the high voltage test cells we had at EEV, the anode voltages for the valves under test were extremely high and for safety there was a crowbar across the busbar whenever the door was opened. Vehicle electrical systems can deliver very high current if you short...

Same here, no idea where to get fresh oil but have not used it for a few years. Is this not already done with just hot tools, not sure whatt they call it ?

Whats all the fuss, has everyone forgotten that we used to have CRT tubes in our Tv's which used a high voltage flyback transformer .

Having already had Obama then you cannot use that as an excuse and it is not gender that lost her the election it was just that all she was offering was four more years of the same, she had not gone through due process to become the nominee and her presence was laughable, she would blend in...

As someone said, they have Donald Trump and we have Donald duck, middle name being lame. It is the 6th November, election over and Trump is the new president, his last term as I think no one can serve more than two terms so what is the issue. Why are people frightened of someone like...

You need to look at the operating cycles of the petrol and the diesel engine, a diesel engine runs unrestricted air and is the reason a diesel has the higher volumetric efficiency unlike the petrol where you throttle the air and this means that there is excess air at parts of the operating...

As @Fitzroy has said lifes to short and as I have said in other threads that dowels are not the fastest process going so why make it longer by making the dowels. I buy ready made fluted dowels in several sizes but also dowel rod in 500mm lengths and with a jig cut them to size when needed...

But as a percentage of the UK population the win was not good, a very low turnout so between the Conservatives and lack of voters it was given to him on a plate and how has he repaid the people who did vote for him. Basically same old labour of old, borrow and spend, spend and spend again...

If you want to rebuild a broken economy then you start off by not doing anything the Labour government has done and then you need to stabilise global conflict because that is not good for the financial markets and much better than trying to make money from war is just straight commerce, you...

It is always best to not create the problem in the first place as then there is nothing to fix but maybe Starmer really did think Harris would win as he is really good at getting things wrong, now he has a problem.
