    Labour's Employment Rights Bill

    This is always the problem isnt it. The conservatives cut funding to public services, the NHS, Social security budgets leaving the people, in dire straits AS WE HAVE SEEN IN THE LAST 14 BLOODY YEARS and to the point the people cannot take any more. Labour are voted in and they have to fix these...

    Winter fuel Payments.

    After 14 years of tory rule theres little to nobody left who could be identified as a 'benefit scrounger' The tories hate and i mean hate social security. In their tenure they have implemented policy after policy taking people off benefits. Even the disabled who through no fault of their own are...

    SawStop, stops on contact with skin is coming to Europe soon!

    Well thats the thing. Nobody is born with this sort of info in their heads. They learn it through training, and the best training is watching then giving it a go by themselves. We learn by our mistakes. And nobody,but nobody is infallible.

    Do they still sell

    In mdf No. But thats always the way when you route into mdf. You just have to sand it and apply a sealer. More often then not these boards are going to be painted anyway, so sanding/sealing is part of the process be they made in the workshop or in some factory. In fact many of the boards you...

    Do they still sell

    Usually they're thinner than that 6mm/9mm and are available from the likes of Travis Perkins, though there it isnt cheap at nearly 80 quid a sheet.Travis Perkins are known for being considerably more expensive than anyone else, so it is just a case of phoning a few places and asking for V...

    Winter fuel Payments.

    In 1960 the UK population was 53 million. today it is 67m Not sure where you're getting your figures from Fred, but thats pretty far off 50% As to immigration. The numbers are quite simple. 1.2m people came to the UK last year, and near 535,000 left. So net migration is about 685,000...

    SawStop, stops on contact with skin is coming to Europe soon!

    TBH i have no idea why this thread has reached 6 pages. If you are not going to be a customer of one then fine, but why are you arguing, who are you trying to convince. 1000's of saw injuries every year, probably tens of thousands world wide and are some trying too say every single one was with...

    Are you running round the house going 'I'm 2.4m from the door'. 'I'm 3.89m from the kitchen table' :LOL:

    Liberon hard wax oil finish

    Yeah as above. lots of grain raising. wet, sand. then wet, sand, wet again sand and keep going till the grain no longer rises. Its the same thing if you're going to use a water based stain. need to go through the above process or any sanding with cause the stain to become blotchy, as timber...

    The best portable table saw?

    Yeah thats something thats annoying me. Fact Im going to spend probably the cost of that saw for a sawstop But unfortunately mine is destined for a spare bedroom and theres no chance im going to risk putting 140kg in the middle of the floor along with all the other weighty tools,machines and...

    SawStop, stops on contact with skin is coming to Europe soon!

    Sorry, got to disagree. Push sticks will limit the chances of an accident, but thats the thing about accidents, they are as we say 'accidents' What sawstop does is removes any chance of those accidents becoming life changing.

    Graf Zeppelin

    Yeah I reckon a 2.5mm welding rood would hold it fine and without bending, even over time as thats going to be far below any forces acting on it. As a kid my Dad was at Cranfield university, and we lived on campus in the married quarters. That place is amazing when you're a kid. Vast open blue...

    SawStop, stops on contact with skin is coming to Europe soon!

    The chances are you're going too be using push sticks anyway, and any contact is going to be more along the lines of touching it sideways or when pushing a wider bit through the saw with your hand between the fence and the blade, or in the case of a kickback on a smaller/shorter piece. Again...

    Pitted plating - what would you do ?

    2-pack cataloy, sand sand sand, then apply the enamel. Sorry, misread - pitted plating, not pitted metal. Ignore the above.

    SawStop, stops on contact with skin is coming to Europe soon!

    Well that would be your own bloody fault because one of the important things you do approaching a machine is to make doubly sure there are no things lying about on the floor and its swept clean of sawdust. As to this 'Arriving soon' How long are we talking about in a ballpark figure ?

    Graf Zeppelin

    I'm a bit worried that the spoke being used to hold it to the tower isnt really strong enough to stop it sagging. Spokes are strong only as they're part of a tension system. When you see pics of these airships landing, there are other ropes that come from the cab area down to handlers on the...
