    Elektra Beckum HC260 problem

    I have a PDF copy of the manual. I send you a copy If you raise the infeed table to be the same height as the outfeed and place a long straight edge along them are they inline? I can't remember if there is an adjustment to get the infeed and outfeed tables coplanar. Martin

    Advice please: pine ceiling finish.

    Thanks @Bingy man . I was wondering if osmo or some such would be a better option or whether that would be total overkill.

    Advice please: pine ceiling finish.

    So I've just about finished assembling my workshop kit. The ceiling is Wickes wonky pine t&g. I'd like to keep the pine finish, ie. not paint it but want to apply a finish to keep it from getting grubby over time. I'm not that good with the different types of available finishes so thought I'd...

    @deema . The link I saw is Green Machines | 400 Green Machines Service Repair Workshop Manuals Hope that's helpful. Noticed this file header suggested an easy conversion from walk behind to ride but I haven't read it so who knows? 5 miles a day should keep you mobile, wish I could still do...

    Got my first 3D printer

    Not sure about design knowledge. You'll gain a lot as you experiment with different designs and ways of doing things. It does take a particular mind set though (her indoors would probably say 'weird'. Hmmm! ). For example if you want to design a round cone it's easier to draw up a triangular...

    Schroedinger's box? Then you wouldn't know if it's dead or alive, spinning or not! 🤣

    Can anyone id this tool for brace and bit?

    If you're referring to the centre drill then it is dead on centre. The cutter blade should be inserted from the RHS rather than, as shown, from the left. The main body has a flat on the RHS so slightly smaller circles can be bored when the cutter is pushed fully to the left. I have one of the...

    Can anyone id this tool for brace and bit?

    That one's a hole cutter. I have one and still occasionally use it. If the blade is ground with the opposite angle, i.e. the point is toward the middle, it becomes a circle cutter. I like the modification: the usual drill bit has been replaced with a centre drill. I'll remember that.

    Laptop "repair"?!

    They sound like a load of clowns who think they can get away with it because their customers know no better. Good luck with them.

    Got my first 3D printer

    Have I ever broke even with the ~£1500 CEL Robox printer I bought some 8 years ago? I really don't know - or care! It's given me lots of fun designing unobtainable replacement bits or designing parts that don't exist. For example replacing the broken handle on my garden parasol or a slip-on...

    Cyclone Bucket.

    If your drum collapsed did it have a 'pressure' relief valve to stop the vacuum getting too high such that it collapses the drum? They are readily available from River/Bay sources.

    Wood store advice and ideas.

    I'd just make two or more 'U' shaped (or 'E' on its back) frames and hang them from the joists/rafters. You can make the vertical sections as long as you like so the whole thing is above head height but low enough to access easily. Space them to accommodate the longest and shortest lengths of...

    Laptop "repair"?!

    Before going back I'd Google HP hinges to see if anyone else thinks they're weak and prone to breaking - that is if you have a working computer on which to do so. 🤔

    AVO meter repairs.

    Yes I too remember, when I served my apprenticeship in Halstead, plywood sheets being used as backing boards. They were studded with guide nails for the 'girls' in the wiring dept to make the looms around. Then they'd lace them up. I can't remember though how the lacing knot went, just that if...
