Many thanks to you both for the suggestains, the blades you link to are little 115mm angle grinder blades which are Diamond tipped, but I did find one larger 190mm blade in the same style but again Dimond tipped,,I think that your still right and that my old blade is how they used to be made and...

Hi, I have the blade pictured here, it was fitted to a nice Bosch Skillsaw I bought used a few years ago and Ive no idea what its designed for, anyone have any idea? Ive looked around the internet for somthing similer but I cannot find anything like it,,my guess is that its for cutting soft...

Ah, rushing and Ive just realised that I had forgot to post the pictures! And many thanks for the advice, much appreciated,,new thread coming up. Steve.

Whilst there are lots of knowledgable saw blade people around could anyone tell me what this TCT blade is for, it came with a used Bosch skilsaw and is 190mm dia. Its had a non stick coating which is the black residue. No matter how I turn it there is no trace of any printing, make or anything...

I often wondered how people get on with those highly insulated homes you somtimes read about, so super insulated that just the people and a light bulb will keep them warm,,what happen to all the moisture created by the occupants and cooking etc,,I suppose they have the fancy heat exchangers...

I really like the design of your board, esp the angled edges and finger grips, it seems terrible to be cutting on somthing so nice! Steve.

How strange, only yesterday we were saying that Hermes seemed to have got very slow, our driver is a lovely chap and when he delivered yesterday said they are struggling to get hgv drivers, his main depot is Southampton and he says that they often have to wait for a driver to return to take out...

Just as a matter of interest what are you doing with all that wood? Ive broken up a few casements for the glass and Ive found that just giving the frame a whack or two from the inside just opens up the joints and the glass lifts out nice and clean, but looking at the quantity you have I suspect...

How do people feel about rip cutting grooves rabbets (dado’s) on the tablesaw? An issue seems to me to be the blade not being able to clear debris and overheating,,,are you supposed to use a special blade? Steve.

Its a wide ranging debate thats for sure,,so what about the notion of a “Universal Wage” the idea being that everyone just gets paid a living wage and if you want to work on top of that its just extra income. That way people who cannot find jobs, say the van and tractor drivers whos vehicles are...

I read a couple of years ago that Google and Uber were collaborating on developing Self Driving lorries, self driving cars are just round the corner, but lorries with all the driver issues, limits on hours ect is clearly somthing worth persueing. Google and Uber may have subsequently had a...

As has been said, if they are about they can get through the smallest of holes, the picture below is the one I found inside my shed consumer unit, he had squeezed in through the entry for the supply cables but I guess couldn't turn round without touching the terminals! Somone said about rats not...

Well I still haven't wheeled the saw out, spent days clearing an unbelievable amount of rubbish from a flat,,the sort of thing you see on the telly, nutty old horders,,,but mostly beer cans old clothes and collapsed furniture,,,and still plenty to go, but I will check out the laser when Im next...

Im surpised that no one has suggested just snapping off the top shaped bit and grinding the blade to slide into the saw,,,perhaps only works with the older style pinch screw fitment, though grinding in the ears would I suppose also be possible. I used to do it years ago with my green plastic...

I found your motor plate belt tension adjustment interesting because thats the same set up as I have on my modern Clarke pillar drill, the only difference is that instead of grubscrews mine has wingnut headed bolts, I dont use my drill all the time so I personally like to releave the belt...

The sort of screwdriver we used to make for adjusting old motorbike clutch presure springs, mine was an old wood chisel around 3/4ins with a rough notch cut out of it,,,specialist tools and all that! Steve.

Started work in the garden and a fine mist is just like rain and is soaking everything, so pulling out the saw will have to wait a while, however whilst having a cup of tea I checked out replacement laser prices and Miles Machinery have an exploded diagram which Ive hopefully copied below,, No66...

Well I should be in the shed a bit later this morning so will check it out,,given our friends experience with the optical cable I was looking to see if there was perhaps a cover but I didnt look very carefully and as I could see the bare brass casing surrounding the lens I thought there was...

Intresting and I will check, in a similer way a friend bought a fancy Sound Bar for her TV, it used an optical cable to connect to the TV, her and her tech savey friend couldnt get the plug to stay in the tv, it kept falling out, Currys where she bought it put her onto te tech dept but still not...

Hi I have a Makita Mitre saw with a Laser, its glowing red when switched on and Ive wiped the lens with a tissue, plus fitted new batteries, but even in a shady position its a barely visible red line. I have never bothered with it but today I thought I would look at it again, battery contacts...
