Ah OK, thank you.

And if you read the post thoroughly you will have read that the fault lay not with the guard or its design, but with the fact that I had not adjusted it correctly. It was entirely my own fault, not the guard's. If you didn't tighten up your crown guard properly, you could have an accident with...

Bob! I sincerely hope that you don't mean that.

I agree. He should make up a good robust SUVA guard, like mine. I don't know where you get the idea that SUVA guards are always flimsy, I really don't. They are only flimsy if they are inadequately made or supported. Mine gives excellent protection AT THE SIDES AS WELL AS OVER THE TOP. Come over...

And just how do you recommend that he guard the blade for this operation, Jacob? Remember that this gentleman is a beginner.

I'm sure of it. It also makes sense. There are not many places to go to down that section of the A38. If he was heading for Derby he would have come off at J25, and if he was Chesterfield-bound it would be J29 or 30, I forget which. A visit is in order tomorrow. I wonder if they have dashcams...

I would caution against modifying your existing RK. Once cut up you can't go back. Instead, if you really do want to make non-through cuts like rebates, make a replacement RK, it's not difficult. You can get a piece of Ground Flat Plate from people like Cromwell, in both metric and Imperial...

I think that might be Bingo. Thank you very much. It would make sense, too, as they have a distribution centre just a mile or two on. I'd need to see the back end of a trailer to be sure, but I shall go over and see what I can see. Thank you all for your contributions, whether I agree with...

You have an interesting point of view. I wish I could understand it. This guy deliberately intimidated her when she was driving perfectly properly. I don't see how that can be justified.

Just because lorries are supposed to travel no more than 56 mph, it doesn't mean that they do not. I assure you that she was not driving inappropriately. The car is legally roadworthy, recently MOTd! It's just an old banger, not a supercar. 70 is the maximum, it is not the required minimum...

Thank you. No, it was more beige on white. And no infill colour.

I didn't see the plates. :( Well I don't know that she was doing 60 exactly, but she doesn't, isn't able to, put her foot down, it's an old decrepit car, and she doesn't actually like going fast, so I'm guessing 60 (that could be important, from a legal point of view). My point is that I...

No, it wasn't a tanker it was a trailer of some sort. I was wearing my specs rather than my contact lenses, so there is some visual impairment, but I am not blind. Not yet. I know what I saw.

It was more like this: The two-tone background is Sketchup's contribution, not mine.

That's a hexagon matrix, I agree, but it wasn't like that. Just straight lines, no fill.

Thank you, but I can't find a Co-Op image that remotely matches. There is a Co-Op distribution centre very nearby, but he headed off in the opposite direction.

This is the sort of pattern I'm talking about Any help would be very gratefully received. I had to calm her down so that she could continue to drive me home safely. It was not a fun experience, I assure you. Some of the hexagons were incomplete, like stray lines.

Does anyone know what firm has a hexagon logo as their livery? Several hexagons, like a beehive? Last night I was being driven by a friend up the M1, when a lorry got as close behind us as he could, sounded his horn, turned on his main beam and generally intimidated her. We were leaving at J28...

We often get threads about sharpening. This isn't one! OK, we keep out chisels and plane irons sharp. We get our TS blades, our SCMS blades resharpened when they need it. Our bandsaw blades, too. But who thinks about their Biscuit Jointer blade? I certainly don't. It's not a tool I use very...

I think that is a bit harsh, Rob. Back in the 80s I used to write post-processors for a CADCAM package that drove CNC machinery. All the people I ever met who operated these machines were skilled people and certainly would not like being called chimps. A CNC machine in woodwork can do things...
