I am looking to replace a few doors and improve the look of the door stoppers (1) shown in the photo. The current stoppers are made of pine, but over time, knots and other artifacts have bled through the paint. I don't think sanding and repainting will solve the issue, so I want to replace them...

Stuart from Proper DIY youtube channel published a comparison of various chemicals and a pressure washer.

I see. Thank you for the clarification. Looks like my only choice (if I was to buy another lead in the future) is to buy with "return allowed" option. Will keep that in mind.

It would, if I had thought about that at the right moment. Thank you for the suggestion. I am not messing with anything. The point of my thread was to understand why there are different connectors with the same name (Plug-It), how many such types exist and if one is convertible to another. If...

We are on the second page of this thread, I have not seen a single attempt at answering to my original questions and do not have much hope, but will try one more time anyway: My original questions were: 1. How many different Plug-It connectors are there? 2. Has anyone been able to successfully...

The cable I purchased on ebay (second hand) was half the price of the new one. Pictures of 110V products on the Internet led me to believe that the tool side of the cable is the same on 110V and 240V cables, so I was going to cut the yellow 100V plug and replace it with the normal UK 240V one...

Thanks. But I would rather not mess with the domino side of things. I was thinking if I can convert the cable to fit the tool, not the other way round. incidentally the site you linked shows the same connector type as I was after in the first place on their 110V product...

Yes, mine looks the same. Any ideas if 110V (connector side of the lead) is convertible into the 240V one? I wonder if I could just cut out extra parts in the 110V connector to make it fit...

Nope. The one I purchased is 110V and my DF500 is 240V. The idea was to change the 110V plug to 240V one. Before buying I had a look to see if there are differences between 240V and 110V and connector side in first picture I found looked identical to one I had, so I assumed they are all the...

I needed a spare lead for my Domino 500, the only corded Festool I own, and purchased one from eBay. However, it turns out that the original Plug-It connector and the one I received are not the same, and the newly acquired one does not fit my DF500. Here's what my original connector (came with...

LOL. There must be some kind of coffee conspiracy/collaboration. On my Twin motor CamVac I have been using a filter holder from aeropress cofee maker to block exhaust when required. It fits perfectly. I did have to add an obligatory piece of duck tape though. Your coffee jar lid must be new and...

Just an FYI - this topic comes up regularly and few other alternatives have been suggested, e.g. here: Auto switch for vacuum That 5-6 seconds delay of Intelliplug is OK for some but is a deal breaker for others. I found Intelliplug to be one of those things where (unfortunately) you have to...

It is a dishwasher. I believe somewhere inside that dishwasher there is a broken seal which lets some vapour out and, about once a month, it trips the electrics mid wash cycle (no issues during drying part). After it had tripped the electrics - If we let the dishwasher sit there for a few of...

Can someone recommend a plug-in/socket type RCD with faster reaction time than the ones used in the consumer unit? I am having similar problem when a device connected to a plug-in RCD causes main consumer unit RCD to shut off everything. Both consumer unit and socket RCDs are 30mA This one is...

Youtuber Mike M. recently released a video on this topic.

Hello @thetyreman, Your board looks great and appears to be in a very good condition so you clearly know how to look after it. Do you mind sharing your cleaning and maintenance schedule/procedure? Everyone makes it sound very simple, but, for whatever reason, I am having to re-sand (and...

if those woodworkers have particular interest in preserving the craft then maybe, otherwise why should they? Not many professional carpenters or furniture makers have the time or desire to sharpen their handsaw, bandsaw, table saw or mitre saw blades themselves. Good blades are usually sent to...

Indeed. Another useful feature of Fasttrack is ability to sharpen very short blades (e.g. spokeshave) easily.

If you decide to go with Camvac - make sure it is Twin or Triple Motor. Single motor CamVac (suction wise) is the same as any other dust extractor. In fact - my domestic 18y/o Bosch vacuum cleaner produces more suction than Camvac in Single motor mode. The only difference is that Bosch...

Unless you model has some some sort of a physical separation between two motors (and some clever routing in the bucket to the main intake hole) I find this hard to believe. It is easy to check if there is any benefit in blocking inactive motor hole. Step 1: with both exhaust holes unblocked -...
