I have a few Multi Material drill bits and the majority of them are the " Alpen" brand......Made in Austria and good quality! They will drill through the majority of ceramics, except the real hard porcelain. Back in the day when I used to fit a lot of bathrooms, I invested in a diamond...

Ceramic tiles vary in their hardness from really quite easy to drill, to a porcelain type tile, which can be a real b u g g e r to drill without a specialist type drill bit. Also, the choice of drill bit to use can be affected by the make up of the wall the tiles are mounted on......You...

It is unfortunate that a lot of people just assume that if it's a " Stone" worktop ( real, or manmade...) they can put anything on them without worry, but that is just not so. Any strong colours, such as food dye, curry or red wine, if left on the surface overnight for example, could...

I bought a new one for my grinder about 8 months ago ( can't remember what make it was though).....I got it from Screwfix and it's done a fair bit of work since then.....Possibly a Norton brand...? Its lasting very well but it has shed a few bristles.......Come to think of it, it is 150mm dia...

Marble is not advisable for kitchen worktops.....It is far too soft & susceptible to acids, grease, red wine, curry stains etc....Granite or Quartz are a far better option.....If the customer really wants to push the boat out, then a sintered stone is the one to go for, such as Dekton by Silestone.

565mm width is well within tolerance.... There is no clip, as such Barbara...The drawer sides just slot into the drawer runners themselves and make a distinct "click" when properly seated. Forgive me if this comes across as insulting, as it is not my intention, .but are you certain that the...

Hi Barbara, I've fitted a few of these over the years but not had a problem with them. One possible thing I can think of that may be causing your problem would be, if the internal width of the cabinet was too wide.......But, you said it was a 600mm wide cabinet made of 18mm thick material, so...

Its widely available, but I buy mine from a Trade supplier as one of my primary uses is in the fabrication of Solid Surface material, amongst other things. As I use it in a commercial environment, I had to apply for authorisation from the UK government to buy it on a regular basis. Edit, Here...

Potentially, you could strip all the vinyl wrap off completely from the top, re machine the edge profile so that it's just a vertical edge and apply a matching vinyl to both the top & edge. Alternatively, you may be able to strip it all off and paint the top & edge a contrasting colour but...

As you said, that is not a veneer! Its known in the furniture trade as "Vinyl Wrapped", which is technically a vinyl plastic wrap that is applied and stuck under heat & pressure and shrinks into all the detail to give the required finish. Once the adhesive let's go, its virtually impossible to...

So, a Barbecue is only a Barbecue if it uses charcoal as a fuel...? If it uses Gas as a fuel,....Its called an outdoor gas cooker...? Apparently, you can now buy Electric powered Barbecues......What are they known as..? I've just done a Google search and it seems as though you are part of a...

I was under the impression that all gas barbecues now sold in the UK were supplied with a gas bottle regulator only suitable for connection to the Green " Patio " gas bottles...? I think to run them off a Blue Calor gas bottle requires a different regulator..?

It's such a shame we are no longer a member of the EU, as transporting this type of item across EU borders wouldn't have been a problem then......Oh, wait a minute..!!..??

An old cowboy sat down at the bar and ordered a drink. As he sat sipping his drink, a young woman sat down next to him. She turned to the cowboy and asked "Are you a real cowboy?" He replied, " Well, I've spent my whole life breaking horses, working cows, going to rodeos, fixing fences, pulling...

So, hypothetically, let's assume Citracal has booked his Channel crossing, driven down all the way from Scotland and he turns up in a van large enough to transport £8000 worth of table he has made, but hasn't applied for or got the relevant paperwork for exporting it from the UK or Importing it...

Without wanting to sound like I'm teaching my Grandmother to suck eggs, in these circumstances, I would drill the holes with a multi construction drill bit , without hammer function and, as others have suggested, ensure I used good quality rawlplugs.👍

@Molynoox I dont see this as an issue at all....!??🤔 Just fit the handrail with the brackets & screws provided......If, after its fitted, you feel the screws are not substantial enough, then look to source bigger screws as it will only take a few minutes to swop to larger ones.....I think you...

When I used the term "aftermarket", I was referring to a non original Kity/ Shepach switch. There are various manufacturers that make NVR/ DOL starter switches with motor overload protection facility built in. They are commonly available to buy,....you just need to find one that is compatible...

How long is the handrail...? How many of the handrail brackets are you planning on fitting for the length of the handrail...? If the rail is say, 3000mm long, I would have thought 4 x brackets would be more than strong enough using those 3.5 x 30mm screws. I fitted a 50mm dia Oak handrail &...

I've used Osmo Raw on a couple of projects in the past......Not recently though and for the life of me, I can't remember what I used to clean up....??? Come to think of it, I dont think I used a brush at all.....I think I used a small sponge and threw it away after application. Perhaps DNA...
