    Putin is a loser

    Yes, it is simplistic and insulting to reduce your judgement of another country or system just to what the government or mass media says in the time of conflict, like during the cold war or inherent conflict of communism vs capitalism. You were reading only crime chronicles of Soviet Union, it...

    Putin is a loser

    Pigeons have very short memory. Not too long ago Hussein was declared evil dictator and not democratic. And even worse, he was declared to have weapon of mass destruction. Then the war in Iraq started. Now we know there was no weapon of mass destruction and it was because of oil, resources...

    Putin is a loser

    I don't blame you, I'm not that different, actually. If I were in your shoes and saw and heard what you did, I would most likely have the same opinion. This is what I call "professional stupidity", which happens to me too. It is when in our profession, in that we have deep understanding and...

    Putin is a loser

    So i Your level of deep analysis of him is very astonishing, too. You could work in the government! Or are genuinely want to know what is going on there?

    Putin is a loser

    Your knowledge and first hand experience of other countries is astonishing! Do you trust your politicians when it comes to internal policies? But it seems you trust them fully about foreign policies, isn't it? Or is it fair to say that in time of global conflict nobody will tell you the whole...

    Putin is a loser

    Feels like kindergarten, calling names and such. Or is it called freedom of speech now?

    Putin is a loser

    On that note, Vienna is still here. Full of Russian speaking Ukrainians, but mostly rich ones get here. Energy prices are higher, too. It must be cheaper in the gentlemen's houses now, or is it? If so enjoy the Brexit, I guess. Perhaps your government knew the plans or actually planned it. 😉

    Is there a definitive pillar drill - new or used - that is better than the Bosch PBD40 for the same money?

    I also did use it for a week. And even though I have a bigger drill press now I do consider buying one since it has nice features. Features like digital depth indicator, that it can be rotated 180 degree to drill on bigger pieces. Also it can be used ti drill in steps, clamp head high, start...

    LED Battens for Woodwork workshop

    Heh, I'm in disbelief when it comes to LED battens. Firstly, they all flicker if AC mains powered. Secondly, LEDs that are used in them are never ones with CRI 95. But you can buy decent power supply for 12 or 24 volts and you can buy individual LEDs with CRI 95 of the white temperature and...

    Maguire Pin Less Leg Vice

    Here is poor man linear guide, if I can say that: Also watch further to see old hinged leg vice, pretty much like that Cheetah.

    Maguire Pin Less Leg Vice

    Now, that sounds... functional! I can see how it would help bashing. Thanks for that! But for my workbench I would still prefer "floating" leg vice, not to care about evenness of the floor. And I hardly ever do bashing in the vice, as work can slip down still. Can also put some wedge between...

    Maguire Pin Less Leg Vice

    I don't think it is the main feature of a leg vice - to drag on the floor. If it is it can be called a fifth leg vice then. ;) But what do I know? Both attached to a leg somehow.

    Maguire Pin Less Leg Vice

    I think you can "program" toe-in angle for this vice maximum clamping force. Or calibrate the angle to this vice max clamping force. I guess it has a positive stop when turning the handle. It would be perfect match if so. Though, I don't know if you want to always twist it to the max. If not...

    Maguire Pin Less Leg Vice

    I did a prototype with the linear bearing system, just two jaws and all hardware. It does work but there is a nuance. While scissors or cross mechanism just restricts jaw to be in parallel to leg (almost) no matter what force is applied, linear bearing has to give in a bit. The more it gives...

    10" bandsaw - Record or Charnwood?

    See which one ends up on second hand market more often and go with another one, maybe? I have Record Power BS250 from 2015 and old TuffSaws 1/2" blade for veneer cutting (~3 tpi, narrow kerf, one of three teeth is not set, pretty much like current SuperTuff Fastcut blade). It is heavy enough...

    Record Power Planer Thicknesser - RSPT260 - Connect Motor to Mains

    That's the beauty of type C - it will not disconnect when the motor starts. I think we already had similar discussion in some other thread. C13 will eventually disconnect if current is higher than rating. Might take more seconds to do so. Alternative is to change from B13 to B16 or B25. How...

    Record Power Planer Thicknesser - RSPT260 - Connect Motor to Mains

    You might need to change MCB to type C to run this motor. Normally, in house type B is used which is more sensitive for short duration surge of current. Induction motors usually require type C. From what I have tested 375W and 750W inductor motors works just fine with type B 13A. Just test it...

    AC400 Record Power air filter - not working

    I don't remember which one I have mounted there exactly. I think original that comes with AC400 will work or any similar one that works with Arduino will. From my shopping history I can also see that I bought some called "KY-022 Infrared IR Sensor Receiver Module for Arduino". Same goes for...

    Help: converting 230V (1ph) 50Hz machines to run on 220V (1ph) 60Hz supply

    I changed induction motor on my drill press because the one it came with had bent axel and was vibrating like hell... And since I was changing it I opted for 400V three phase one, that can be wired for 230V delta, and a good VFD. That costed like 200 EUR in total but now I can control the...

    AC400 Record Power air filter - not working

    You mean on the orignal board? Then maybe you can share a picture of which one, just to have it documented here... I destroyed my board while trying to diagnose/fix it... fried the chip (MCU) with too high voltage (relays are 9V, iirc).
