A friend also used magnetic door catches to hold together 3 fabricated MDF sections he made to fully box in his boiler. The house will be rented out in future so he asked me to remove and re fit it, without any instructions or demo, to test if his design was intuitive. I was a little surprised...

Welcome !

Before you go wild, understand that starting and stopping the induction motor almost certainly used in an outdoor dust extractor is a very different thing from turning on and off a lightbulb. The relays ( termed contactors) that you can see in a Direct On Line (DOL) starter box adorning a lot...

With a CBN wheel on a record 8" grinder, 500 Watts, light, controlled, cuts don't slow the wheel. If you want to remove metal and lean into it, you can slow the grinder down. Running at half speed, which also means more of less half power, on any sort of electronic speed control will just make...

Don't read over much into this ....

When the sh t hits the fan, you can always eat a horse.

Actually, they're not. Deffo chewy and in need of a good sauce :-)

I enjoy cold milk too. I was raised on unpasteurised milk from a local TB tested dairy herd. Sadly our 1/3 bottles of pasteurised milk were delivered to school each morning, not chilled, and to make it worse the primary school teachers thought even cool milk was too much for the poor darlings...

They don't really, they're just something they put the crazy hot chilli sauce on for you to slurp off :-)

I have a half dozen of the lower type - ratchet lever. They are Axminster brand blue or red, modelled after the bessey version. They work fine in a 20mm dog hole and in a festool track. At half the price of the Festool ones, they were good value. Personally, I don't have any clamps with the...

Maybe they are trying to create the perception that they're better. Make an extra £500 profit on each unit and you can have a viable business with fewer sales.

Hi Pete. Welcome to UKW. You will notice that I've removed four web links from your 1st post above. Forum software like ours and others automatically assumes that any new sign up to a forum who includes web links in their first few posts is a spammer and just trying to sneak advertising into...

People unaware of the risks are killing themselves. A bit of fuss is only right. And yes, the longer time passes from when CRTs were in every home, the less aware younger generations will be of the risks from high voltage electricity. It can burn you under the skin and stop your heart. It is...

I assume the shout out is in case the member mentioned might be interested in buying your drills ?

I was lucky and got an alfra rotabest, lightly used, for a decent price. Discontinued but good. It's single speed only but 400rpm / 1100W so more than powerful enough for me and v well built. Features to look for: Distance from the spindle axis to the edge of the magnet is always small and...

Me too. The SE300 props are great.

Harking right back to an observation in the first post, about people looking for differences, I thought about what some people value from the experience of travel. I've visited and lived in a few countries over the years and I'm always struck by how similar we all are, and how ingenious we are...

I clicked a link someone posted on the virgin media forum the other day. Realised it was dumb and shut the whole group of tabs down without going and actually looking to see what was there. I had a strange popup today that may have been unrelated but it sent me checking chrome to see if...

Nice !
