Plant I worked in had a big near flat EPDM or similar black roof. The seagulls were damaging it by dropping clams and mussels in an attempt to break the shells. They thought the big black expanse was pavement. Every year the roof would get a few leaks from the activity. Sorry for the diversion...

I have haven't I? 😉 The rectangular duct does cause more friction but it is minimal. Play with this calculator and you will see that a 4" round duct, 400CFM, over 30' has a water column loss of 2.742". Same cross sectional area in a square duct of 3.54" has a loss of 2.9". Correction. That...

It is pretty much impossible to generate enough dust in a home system to have an explosion. The minimum threshold of dust in the air for an explosion is 60g/m3 which resembles a very heavy fog. Below that and nothing will ignite it and at a certain point above where it won't ignite either. A...

No offence intended and I hate to take the thread off track but what the hello are you cutting that you need the saw wound up that much? Pete

Depending on the diameter of the AUK you may be able to put it in a fixed router base and put it in the lift you have with minimal modification. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-1617EVSPK-4-Horsepower-Variable-Collets/dp/B00005RHPD?th=1 Pete The Bosch body diameter is 3.5" / 88.9mm I can't find...

The one upside, not mentioned so far to using a VFD, is that you can program them for a slow start over a few seconds. That eliminates the starting surge that the single phase motor has. Good for a shop without a lot of excess power. Pete

Given that it is on one of the Cites lists they might want to steer clear of it for image reasons even if they found old stock they could use. Pete

Might as well add the #2 tote to this thread. https://assets.leevalley.com/Original/10090/56664-stanley-number-2-bench-plane-tote-c-05-e.pdf Pete

I must be on a restricted list then or at least when I search Lee Valley's site itself I am. 🤫 Thanks. Now I know how to get to them. Pete

I went hunting again and my searching failed to find it. Got the link for the #4 and under totes or a link to the area they keep it in? Pete

How did you find that pdf? I looked and don'r see where they put it. Have they got other totes too? Pete

I wonder, could I convert my lathe into an angle grinder??? 🤔 Pete

Finish making it and give it a real life test by using it. Then you will know for sure. If it fails again at some point down the road you can remake it. Keep the original around as a pattern if you ever need it. Pete

I thought you had the "little Sh...ts!" to deal with before? 😂 Pete

As long as the waste edge is parallel to the edge you want to cut run it against the fence. If the edge isn't parallel and there is room on the waste side, tack a straight piece to it and run it against the fence. If there isn't much room along the waste to safely use nails/screws to attach a...

Now I know who inspired Star Trek's Ferengi. 😂 Pete

If the motor is a 440V 3phase Y motor an electrical motor repair shop can take it apart enough to change a few wires around making it into a 240V 3phase 𝝙 motor that you can run off a 240 single phase to three phase VFD. A good industrial electrician can do the same if you know one. Residential...

Can't drill a perpendicular hole to save his life. 🙄 Let's let nature take its course and take him and his imitators out. The world is overpopulated and is better off without them. Pete
