I could do, but I assume the coil is made of insulated copper so i think I’d risk compromising the whole coil. Also i don’t know if you can see but the reason the coil broke appears to be corrosion, there is blue/green copper oxidation which looks like it’s eaten the top few layers of the...

OK I think i've found it, but the minimum order is 200.... https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Kool-Mu-Toroids-77254A7-77438A7-77089A7_60794137677.html Alternatively I could order whatever this is for £5 off ebay, which looks like it has two of what I want on, and then remove them & solder...

Sorry, I am talking about the two copper coils with a green magnet in. The capacitor cover is torn but it seems fine,

I use a dehumidifier at times to keep the workshop/shed moisture down. Recently my one broke and i'm reluctant to just throw it. I have taken the thing to pieces and the most obviously looking poorly component is this. I think it is some kind of transformer or a choke? I notice one is also...

I have used gorilla woodglue previously without problems, I now use Titebond II mainly but if I saw some gorilla up cheap I would get it and use it. It is really surprising just how strong glue is, the important thing is to make sure the surfaces are properly prepared i.e there is sufficient...

I am a lifeboat crew member on the south coast, and it is the RNLI's 200th year anniversary on the 4th March. As part of the run-up to this, stations have been posting historical accounts of their rescues and boats etc. Newhaven Lifeboat posted this the other day Link Here Picture 1: On...

The original problem was that when turned on the motor would not spin, and it would begin to make an offensive noise. I continued taking the thing apart today and found an extremely stiff bearing which handles the offset weight that the motor drives to give the vibrations. Re-assembled the...

So the thing is apart, have done three tests on the armature: - Opposite bar resistance - Bar to bar resistance - Bar to commutator continuity. Nothing exciting has appeared. If I knew where I could go locally to find someone with a growler then I would, what sort of place would I be looking...

That is massive, I am truly jealous. My workshop is 4.3m2..... I like how your CNC folds down from the wall (by the looks of it). I don't have room for a full size router table (obviously!) so I just made the top for one and put it on saw-horses for use. The advantage is that, like with your...

Was hoping to try and confirm it actually is the armature before buying the replacement as it’s twice the price I paid for the tool itself (granted not a huge amount but would be a waste)

Don't have a growler, I did watch a couple videos with them and they look cool, probably a bit pointless for me who is only likely to test an armature once every 5 years or so... I'll have a look at the youtube channel you suggest

I have just bought a broken Festool DTS 400 EQ with the intention of trying to fix it. It cost me £40 so its not the end of the world if it never works again. The symptoms it has are 'smells a bit and starts smoking in use...'. I had the same symptoms on my rotex before I sent it off to festool...

I bought one of these about 3 months ago but i'm yet to use it. Mine is the Triton branded one, the build quality seems average, mostly plastic but cast aluminum table. I would prefer it to be a bit more space-efficient, quite why they decided on all the curves i'm not sure... Look forwards to...

I've found an Apollo 1500 HVLP Spray system for a very reasonable price. Does anyone have any experience with them at all, would be using for occasional cabinet work, doors etc

Assume this got sold?

Decent pliers, I have the Halfords set and they are good. https://www.halfords.com/tools/hand-tools/modular-trays/halfords-advanced-4-piece-circlip-plier-set-modular-tray-332982.html

There's quite a few different designs about on a quick google search. My 'compact box' version is based on one I saw on the 'woodsmith' website. The simplest thing to do would be to find some plans online, there are loads around, a couple of options below...

As the others have said, fundamentally a router table is nothing more than a sheet with a hole in it, which you could clamp to a workmate or equivalent, it doesn't need to be any more complicated than that really unless you want it to be. I have a very small workshop so made a compact table...

Out of interest, how big is the shed?
