Does it take 102mm wide loadings? My solution for my 16-32 was to buy rolls of 6" P120 from EFA which are now very cheap. I made a jig for cutting this lengthwise so out of the 50m roll I can get at least 40 loadings . You could try something similar with 115mm rolls. Brian Brian

Beg, steal or borrow a routerlathe and fit an end mill into the router. You may have to play around with the r/l feed rate or redesign the mechanism to suit the standard r/l helix angle. Brian

My 6 x 10 w/s was lit with 8 x 5' tubes which served me well for many years but a couple of years ago they started to fail. I've now replaced half of them with 600 x 600 panels and am very pleased with the result. Brian

I think the problem is that we engineers (in the broadest sense) use mathematical processes to achieve predictability and precision whereas mathematicians have developed ways of assessing non-precise systems which involve the notions of risk, chance and even chaos. Look at the branches of maths...

I have used them in the past but for light use only. You have to careful to use the minimum amount of glue otherwise hydraulic lock can occur. I've managed to split wood in this way. I prefer to drive the dowels in slowly using a G-clamp on the dowel head. when the shouder bottoms out the joint...

possibly quicker if you've got space on your workpiece to do it

They're wrongly named really. They should be 'multipliers', used to lay out multiples of a base dimension. It's difficult to divide a line without using trial and error although it is possible with a bit of geometry added in to the process. Brian

Yes but all maths is only useful if numbers are ultimately applied. Mathematical concepts are developed from past observations of the real world in order to predict what will (or 'might' in statistical maths) happen in the future. Such concepts provide a framework but need numbers to turn them...

This sander is in very good condition. It is the same as the current offering from Axminster apart from the provision of a table lifting screw jack. I use a simple hydraulic bottle jack which makes it an easy operation. I can include the jack if the buyer doesn't already own one. The unit can...

I haven't done anything with it yet, just unpacked it. I've ordered a set of castors to put on the stand so I won't be making any further moves until they arrive. The stated dimensions include the sizable table which is the main reason I went for this one. Brian

SOLD

If you do be prepared for a big heavy box. I managed to get mine delivered into my workshop, but I haven't worked out yet how l'm going to lift it on to it's stand. I'll be taking the huge polystyrene packaging to the tip this morning. Brian

Have just bought one, arrived yesterday, 38 hours after ordering. Actual base dimensions at floor level are 700 x 520. Brian
