    Thinnest stock for Domino?

    I use my DF 500 Domino on both sheet goods and real timber.....There is a distinct learning curve in getting to grips with the correct procedure. Stick with it Roy,....Its definitely worth it in the end as I wouldn't be without mine now......I haven't used a dowel or biscuit for years as the...

    weird electricity consumption.

    As I said, ....it took a number of attempts before they finally came up with a meter that actually worked as a replacement for the E7 meter. I had a total of 4 different meter engineers turn up at my premises before they finally managed to get it all working. One of the annoying things was, the...

    weird electricity consumption.

    As Slavedata said,...they do now ! I have had an ongoing problem with my meter/supplier at my business premises for 2 years...... It's a very long and very frustrating story that I wont bore you with but needless to say, it has been to do with a Smart meter installation change that my energy...

    NVR switch

    The NVR switch on my Axminster bandsaw started playing up a couple of years ago and then finally wouldn't stay latched when released. I ordered a replacement and upon removal of the original, found it was full of sawdust. I cleaned it all up and cleaned the relay terminals and thought I'd try...

    Thinnest stock for Domino?

    Can you even buy " Biscuits " small enough to join 2 pieces of 12mm thick material, as per the original question that was asked...? Does a modern biscuit machine even allow such a small shallow cut...? I still have my old ( late 80's / early 90's) Elu MBR 100 biscuiting machine somewhere,....I...

    Thinnest stock for Domino?

    Yes, agreed...! 4mm x 20mm Domino. In reality, the 20mm length is actually only 18mm and if you plunge 10mm into each edge/face of your joint, knock the Domino into the end grain, then you will only have about 8mm to go into the opposing mortice.....less likelihood of glue blowout that way I've...

    Shaper Origin.. again.

    I was contacted by my local Festool/TTS rep who offered me an invitation to go down to London for a hands-on Demonstration day of the Shaper.Origin. I cant remember exactly when it was ( definitely pre Covid), but I'm pretty sure it was just after it became available to buy in GB/ EU. The...

    Festool ROS Broken, advice needed

    It could just be the brushes that need to be replaced.....They have a wear level on them that shut the motor down rather than causing damage to the armature. Edit. Two things that have just struck me though....1. You say its had very little use?....2. Isn't the ETS/EC 150 a brushless motor...

    Bench Running a Glow Plug Engine

    I think I may still have a DC Spitfire diesel engine somewhere (1cc with a Blue cylinder head) from my control line days.....my modelling mate back then had a DC Sabre (1.5cc with a Red cylinder head).....

    Bench Running a Glow Plug Engine

    I went from building & flying Freeflight models to Control line in the early 70's and then onto R/C models......I designed & built a twin engined R/C Hovercraft that worked really well on short grass, but I got over optimistic and thought i'd try it on the local boating lake.....Not a...

    Anyone good with dishwashers?

    Do you have a User Manual that normally comes with a new appliance.......or did you buy it second hand? If second hand, get back in touch with the previous owner and ask him for it.... Failing that, you should be able to download a copy of the instruction manual on line.

    Concealed Hinges with wide angle for inset doors

    Try looking at Blum hinges......They do a 155 degree hinge that pushes the door out & across far enough to allow you to open a drawer/wire basket without it clashing with the door. If your existing hinges are already Blum, it should just be a matter of changing the hinges and fitting them onto...
