Reduction of filter area. The filter pressure will probably go up slightly and therefore push a bit more through the remaining bag. If you're going to fit a paper filter the flow is going to change anyway. It would be worth blanking off one filter now to see if there's any obvious reaction. Brian

Probably old age rather than die back. The tree surgeon should have been wary if it was die back as they can be dangerous to fell, depending on situation. The wood goes brittle and, besides being dangerous, is probably not nice to turn. Brian

Only a couple of things I can think of:- 1. The CofG will be raised and you'll need a new structure to support the fan. 2. You'll be halving the airflow so the pipework will need to be reduced from 125mm to 100mm to keep the air speed up, but I expect you've already considered that. Brian

For local hardwoods go to Vasterns at Wooton Bassett near Swindon. I'm afraid you won't find any exotics in Glos, but there is Timbmet near Faringdon. Their branch at Stonehouse is THE place for sheet materials. Nicks in Gloucester only sell softwood. Brian

One more advantage of the NHS - only £75 a throw. I should know , I've lost 4 through the sort of reasons you quote. I now have them tethered to my glasses. Brian

It's a scam, bin it NOW

Ah sorry, I thought you Sorry I thought you were comparing like for like (must read the question properly in future). The AX260SPT is a trade rated machine at £2.5K whereas the Itech 260ss is a hobby machine (same as AX 2260s) at £2K. So in answer to the original question, the Ax is the...

Axi £1500, itech £2000

No, it makes the Axi considerably cheaper

Agree with the others, NHS good. I'm on my second pair now, the first ones became obsolete. These are a vast improvement. I can enjoy listening to music again. Brian

It looks to me that they're the same machine apart from livery and £££££££. Brian

Yes please, I'm downsizing. I'll send a PM Brian

Does the chuck have a number on it? Usually Jacobs chucks have their name stamped on. If you have the number search for it on ebay. There are plenty of suppliers. If in trouble consult Stuart on ebay, username stuartm2015. He's the Jacobs guru. Brian

Lovely job. Can you describe how you made them? Brian

It uses the same circuitry as in the vac which has apparently failed. The extension lead has a multiway socket one of which is the master. You will plug your power tool, eg, a sander, into that. Plug the vac into one of the slave sockets. When current to the sander is detected in the master...

You could use an independent master/slave extension lead costing less than £15. Brian

The question refers to the 'most useful tool', not the most used. A pencil may be the most used but other than drawing lines, it's pretty useless (brainstorming required). Even when it is used it's usually in conjunction with some other tool, in addition to a hand, to control it. No, the most...

A screwdriver. I remember at uni we were introduced to the then new concept of brainstorming. Task - come up with uses for a screwdriver. We found 129, everything from tent peg to contraceptive (don't ask) Brian

Together with everlasting rear brake pads
