Yes I saw that today although I tend not to use it with my table saw as I use a 'proper' dust extractor with that. I use the shop vac and auto switch with my drill press, sander and routers.

I also hook my Wickes shop vac up via a "Master and Slave Auto Power-Off IEC 3 Way 1M METRE MAINS Extension Lead". About a tenner off fleabay link here. Turns the vac on with the router/saw/etc and turns it off about 5 seconds after the router is turned off.

+1 for the Wickes shop vac.

Or put in a large washer or aluminium plate to bridge the gap. It looks as though there may be enough thread on the conduit bush.

And did you connect the copper mesh to the Moroccan ultra high voltage supply? 🤣

Husband is walking along behind his wife and says “Your backside looks like an old washing machine”. The wife remains silent. Later on the husband is getting amorous. His wife says “I’m not starting my washing machine for such a small load. You'll have to do it by hand.”

Looks absolutely fantastic and several cunning and well thought out parts to the design. I especially like the removable 'grill' and the french cleat shelf behind but like @TRITON wonder where the wine stash is. 😁

Obviously didn't go well: she bolted cos his nuts were too big. 🤣😂

And distance - a nano light year is about 1 foot (300mm). Nano is a thousandth of a millionth or ten raised to minus nine. In other words light travels 300mm in 1 nSec.

@Bod At last photos! Once I put the rule against the front I realised the warping is more than I expected. @profchris I have moved several times since I inherited the clock. I've tried to keep the clock out of the main living areas - somewhere it could be a little cooler - but sometimes the...

I'm afraid I do not have any real advice but I took my green HC260 infeed table off and got it back without any issues. It's a pretty simple assembly really. I'm sure you will be able to manage it if you have reasonable mechanical skills. Good luck. Martin

Great, timely thread. Updating the filter, just what I'm considering. Thanks all. Martin

If your G-Plan unit is the same as mine then the doors slide side to side thus will not give a great deal of support to the front lip if ratchet straps are used. I would suggest a cramp (huge G cramp or F-cramp) front to back to clamp without applying the twist you may get over the edge with a...

I've inherited an old long case clock in need of some TLC. The mechanism has gone to a horologist (not a urologist as the predictive text suggests 😂) and while it's away I want to see to the case. Can anyone recommend good books or You Tubers to follow or even a course? On the same subject the...

I have no experience of them, just remembered the post as did @Spectric I too have a bandsaw (DeWalt) with no motor or pulley but was given it to see if I can get it running. It's a rainy day project. Best of luck Martin

LibreCAD is a free open source drawing package that will open and edit dwg files Have fun. Martin

Free to anyone who wants it. I have all the bits of a 1HP SIP Dust Collector except the motor. There is the shell (pictured), impeller, that thing called a filter bag, cart and all screws bolts and sundries except the motor and the collection bag. It was working until the motor went west...

I saw this recently just to add to the viability of electric vehicles and to inflame the argument: Total fuel consumption of U.S. airlines is approximately 19 billion gallons annually. Total fuel consumption for mining Ore for construction of electric car batteries is approximately 21 billion...

I modified a good shed into a workshop. Ended up 8x12': it's too small so I agree with @Fitzroy, make it bigger if you can. However I insulated the inside with celotex and covered that with 9mm ply (possibly a little too thin) and it's nice and warm in winter. Certainly not a difficult job to do...

I have a 2nd hand Focus (remember them?) Champion router jobbie with the same arrangement. Works well unless it blocks at the sharp corner in twixt the base and the tube. Martin
