    CBN Wheel for RSBG8 Grinder

    It's not uncommon for cbn wheels to be made with an oversize bore and paired with thick machined flanges to reduce them down to fit different spindle sizes. I have a 40mm Axminster wheel on a 25/40mm post 2018 RSBG8 grinder and it just fits (but properly). That wheel and its flanges are wide and...

    Gel filled sandbags

    Thanks. I haven't used these products but the first thought to mind was "I wonder if Pig make these ?" Yes : Google for newpig co uk. Pig are a trusted supplier of spill control products used in industry.

    Ukiyo Blossom Gin

    I smiled when I discovered the boss of one of the Sake distilleries in Japan started up a gin distillery as a hobby because it lets him be more creative than the day job of preserving the time honoured traditional taste of the family tipple. He is apparently winning international sales and...

    My 11 year old niece has a smartphone- im angry

    It's all intensely annoying. Wait till you drop your phone in a puddle and find you can't access the money to buy a replacement because your bank accounts demand two factor authentication for a large transaction. No phone, no code, no money to buy a new phone....

    Harrison L5 3HP Lathe

    I'm loving that you have the yale lock fitted to the door. Mine had a large hole that was obviously sized for the barrel of said lock. Nice that you have the cross slide with T slots and an angle plate so you will be able to do small milling jobs. Good to have both the fixed and travelling...

    Who knew : cutting foam polystyrene with a router.

    We had a new upvc back door fitted today. The supplier left the door panel out for me to cut the hole for the cat flap. I'd decided beforehand to make up a template and rout the hole to be neat and avoid any major muck ups but I didn't know exactly what the structure of the panel was going to...

    Harrison L5 3HP Lathe

    I was so impressed by the push oiler that I bought a used grease gun of theirs on ebay and tried it with oil. It totally works. You just have to hang it nose down and with the spring at the end pulled back and locked off. Supposedly they leak if you leave them with oil in the cylinder and under...

    Advice on running electrics to shed

    Work out the resistances on those two and they differ by about 0.71 Ohms. That sounds like a reasonable number for the resistance of 2x 30m lengths of copper.

    Losing a pet

    Our last to go was a 16 yr old cat. I was the one who had to take her to the vet. Walked there with her tucked inside my jacket and didn't feel ashamed to cry my eyes out in public. I could wish for someone to help me go that quickly when it's time.

    Advice on different brands of MR MDF for MFT suitability

    Hi Pete, Only just collected today. I've run the track saw through one end and that's the cut edge you see above. Photo below is raw edge off a ground tooth jigsaw blade. It will be a few weeks until I'm ready to put it to proper use. First impression is that it's every bit as good as medite...

    Harrison L5 3HP Lathe

    These are expensive but a revelation : I paid out and bought an Abnox Wanner push action oiler from Stephens Lubrication in Birmingham. These are superbly made, lifetime tools. There is an accessory nozzle that is an especially good fit on the rounded grease nipple style oiling pojnts I see all...

    Advice on running electrics to shed

    I did it once myself without thinking. Just a dumb moment. Plugged an electric heater into a mostly coiled cable reel and 15 or 20 minutes later realised that I'd done something stupid. When I unspooled the cable the bulk of the flex from inside the coil was too hot to touch and super floppy...

    Advice on different brands of MR MDF for MFT suitability

    It just happened that I needed a sheet of good MRMDF and decided to roll the dice on Hidrofugo (9mm). My local merchant can't get medite and their customers were asking for something good so now they stock only cheap tat and premium board. Nothing in the middle.
