5/8" is 15.875mm Just shy of 16mm Enough of a difference that you don't buy 16mm wheels to fit a 5/8" angle grinder. Too sloppy. I haven't tried but pretty sure I read about holdfasts for 3/4" 19mm holes being too sloppy in 20mm holes. They don't jam quite as well at the bigger angle allowed in...

My spirit level reads vertical to 0.05 degrees. I defy you to consistently drill holes into breeze block at that level of precision hand held. I feel a little chuffed if I get them better than 99.8 degrees. Maybe don't buy a digital spirit level - so easy to read and no fooling yourself you got...

Gotta try something...👍

Though the current that needs to pass through the coil is the 50Hz differential AC between L and N , the currents that the choke is intended to block are the high frequency common mode ones.

I don't think there's a good answer to this without getting a dozen random diyers to drill a dozen holes apiece, and measure their efforts :) How about a 3:2 ratio ?

Ferret's too big for air bricks. I don't know the origin of this as I bought it used, but it looks generic and the picture's good. Under £50 new I'd say. And actually the sharpness of distant objects is pretty good as well as being sharp at much closer distances than the first generation...

Use a precise, steel, square and a knife to mark your cut on the top and back edge of the stock Align the cut by pulling down the blade and placing the L or R tips of the teeth (ATB) into the top scribe Cutting with a sharp blade, the knife wall on the back edge of your stock should stop what...

It's worthwhile being clear about your needs before buying. I bought a "wifi ferret" when they first came out. These wireless cameras screw onto standard electricians glass fibre rods for pushing and pulling cables. It has been invaluable for feeding between floor joists to figure out what...

Sounds fine. The voltage rating of the replacement that you found also looks ok. It was @Spectric 's point not mine, but placing the choke at that point in the circuit is about blocking electrical noise from the circuit board feeding back into the mains wiring. It will be needed for compliance...

One of my uses for a snap blade knife is cutting shadowfoam. 2" thick, needs a clean cut through the full depth. An overextended snap off blade is the best thing I've found to do that. As there is no sideways force I've never snapped a blade doing this over several years. I would use it the...

That does look like it - well spotted. Does a 1 amp rating sound consistent with the power of your dehumidifier ? 240 - 250 Watts ?

All improvements add up so this is welcome, but does it count as "next generation" when it claims just a 3.7% improvement in efficiency ? This in a thing that is seeking / claiming 300 to 400% CoP or "efficiency" in the sense of using a small amount of energy to move a bigger amount of energy...

Ebay makes it clear on every page - for private sale listings, eu consumer protection laws don't apply. Stay friends with ebay, give the seller reasonable notice but no, distance selling regulations don't apply. It's not a retailer-consumer transaction. (Unless the OP is a business which it...

Anyone else like me ? I never ever bid on auctions that have a reserve. I feel like you can't read the seller. They are likely to have totally inflated ideas of the value of their goods so bidding is a waste of time. If you have a minimum selling price, then make that your starting price or list...

You already have most of what you need. Don't be in a rush to clutter up your workshop. If you don't have a drill press, those are very nice to have. Dust extraction is also always good. A router table eats space. Don't rush into that. Would you use the bandsaw and morticer enough to justify...

If you've been using ebay for a while, they give you a phone number for their concierge service. They are indeed easy to talk to, helpful and answer the phone without undue delay. When you buy something that has to be delivered, upto 30 days seems to be accepted as reasonable if nothing...

It looks like an common mode interference suppression choke (inductor) but could be a differential version. Read this. https://www.coilcraft.com/en-us/edu/series/a-guide-to-understanding-common-mode-chokes/ These are absolutely common in switching type power circuitry but the windings made...

I bought the best one I've seen. An optrel clearmaxx visor. £40 something quid. It is more robust than any other I've seen but not too heavy. Honeywell bionic like the guy in the video is wearing is also decent but a little less robust. If you want air fed, the sundstrom sr500 / sr540 are the...

I suspect you will need a bigger and better router. Better so that the minimum speed goes lower, bigger so that you still have some sort of useful power available when you've slowed it all that way down. You may find that 2nd hand ones aren't that expensive.

Yeah. That tells you everything you need to know. The guys selling these don't understand and don't care. Either 2x4" is wrong or 8" is oversize. Which model is it ? A few years ago, I played with a big axminster extractor, with the cyclone, the pull out barrel, cartridge filter and flappy...
