That will look better than the present one then, its only got 60mm left on the stiles :lol: Its a back of garage door, it will look fine, not a patch on my new workshop mind you :wink:

JTO its a doweled door with top half glazed and paneled botom

My Evolution rage saw eats nails no problem :lol:

The frame is 1960's vintage and is 805mm max, the old door is 795mm with too big a gap at 5mm each side. New door is brand new today 838mm or 33" Circular saw it is then as my router is just a baby and would need a heart transplant to cope with the stiles, good idea though. Wife is bound to...

Yes Roy, and the clever guy who built the frame must have had an odd size door he wanted to use up. Its rear garage to garden, so I dont want to get involved with frame changes, easier I think to size the door to existing.

Advice please, I have a half glazed new hardwood exterior door that I need to take around 20mm off both stiles, the door is pretty heavy at 20+kilo I have a table saw with a 40T blade & a couple of circular saws. The ts is I guess what most would rip it down with then use the hand plane to...

Looks like a bargain!

As title, I have a couple extra of these that I dont need, brand new, never used. 3.0Ah gives a pretty long run time between charges, I was finding my old battery didnt hold charge very long and the drill seemed underpowered until I forked out for a new battery. It like a new drill now. Anyway...

I think I read the torque was 65Nm on one of the spec pages for the 12V version but whats 5Nm between friends :) Delivered price seems to be £96.53 which is a bargain with 3 x 3Ah batteries. Find yourself another Makita 12v bare drill and share the batteries between them, double bargain as...

I have a Makita 6336D 14.4V drill and its had a world of abuse, I recently treated it to a new non makita 3Ah battery pack as the original 2.2Ah ones no longer held a charge. It transformed the drill back to the performance I got when it was new. Not a bad price £34.45 delivered for the 3Ah from...

The 2 dont usually go together but RS have a promo code giving a big discount. I will link to this deal site as its explained there how to get the deal. http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/410168/b ... ordless-d/

Using C to control a PIC to raise beds and adjust compost lids, that I have to see :wink:

Yes, good point there Newt. New brushes need a bit of a run to bed into the commutator. Chances are they are not making good contact when brand new and running with a load on can cause burn back of the brush face or com damage. Gone are the days when we used to have to manually bed in new...

Bigshot, just google for 8mm ball ended allen key images, they just have a hex ball on the end allowing you to operate the key while not being directly vertical to the socket head screw. Here is another pic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Allen ... _end_1.jpg

Bigshot, get yourself a ball ended 8mm allen key and cut it at a length suitable to get past the bar and fit that into a 3/8" drive socket + long extension and ratchet. That should allow for the angles you need to get past the bits that are slightly in your way. Ball ended keys look like this...

Bigshot, yes those allen headed bolts look to be in the right plane to make the adjustment you need. Looks like you will need either a long series allen key or better still a socket allen key with a long extension bar and 1/2" ratchet to be sure to get it all nice and tight once its fettled...

I cant quite see how making adjustments in that plane using the 4 bolts on the alloy housing is going to alter the front to back run out of the blade. The only way that would alter the required setting would be to shim one side between the alloy and steel parts. I would be looking at finding...

They only make round stuff cause they dont know what a right angle looks like... where's me coat!

How not to do it first Mick, this is the old shed that was treated with clear preserver when first built then with a light brown creasote substitute a couple of years ago. I used Cuprinol shed & fence preserver Acorn brown this time and it went a strange colour, but im pretty sure its fading...

Had a busy week work wise but I have managed to get the guttering up on the front side of the workshop, the rest is laying on the ground below where its to be fitted hoping the fairy's will fit it for me. I now have a run of 6mm armoured cable all the way up the garden to the older shed on the...
