Standard light switches typically have no terminal for a neutral as its not needed, the neutral being connected at the ceiling rose pendant. Downlights on the other hand utilise a junction box above the ceiling at the start of the string of downlighters for neutral and switch-line connection...

Well alls well that ends well. The joys of dodgy wiring lol haha it keeps me in work. Have a good day (or night) or whatever time it is over there 😝

A neutral is required at an FCU (fused connection unit) in the UK, without it the installation is not following regs and would fail a condition report. Granted it would still operate without a neutral but is ropey as F. If the FCU had a neon light showing its on/off status then it would deffo...

Diagram is wrong I'm afraid old chap, the fused connection units (fused switches) need a neutral, really you should not have a live there only and the neutral from the socket. Not sure how you would practically wire it that way anyway !

Ah yes its like that then, just a bit difficult to read it, the joints would be in the back of the sockets then, not elsewhere as per diagram. Anyway to the original poster, you could run individual spurs (single 2.5mm twin & earth cable) from each existing socket to each new fused spur (so you...

Sorry I do not understand what your talking about :)

Known as a "dual" box, not a twin :)

The diagram as mentioned assumes this circuit is a radial, thats unlikely for a UK kitchen circuit. If it is a ring circuit (likely 32a) then you should not wire it like this. If its a ring then probably easier to extend it to the x2 new spurs from the existing sockets, and by doing so revoming...

I've been reading up on the subject of gluing boards of wood together and the danger of cupping. I only learnt of this about this halfway through my current project, that is I'm making a shooting board. I've already dimensioned the timber but have not yet glued up ! The base is a flat 18mm mdf...

Hi; I have an Inca 205 bandsaw; it's a complete machine but It has issues! The table is not level atall, I suspect the frame is twisted, and the lower wheel is broken at the spindle (result of over tightening the grub screw). The motor is fine, as is the top wheel, both wheels have fairly new...

My own mini workbench is almost completed, another week I expect. Here's the inset vice

Mango wood perhaps ?

That's a fine looking workbench. It so happens that im making a mini benchtop right now, almost complete. Its not a stitch on yours thou, thats awesome.

I like that, what timber is used ? Is the top a kitchen worktop offcut ?

Have you had the circuit tested properly? Could be a loose neutral causing issues or maybe a volt drop issue if the circuit is too long (unlikely in a normal size properly thou) ! I remember a job from years back where customer was having issues with her living room lightbulbs flickering and...

Had this text to my work phone yesterday; now deleted and number blocked. It said something like I've failed to pay a ticket ad will get in trouble if I dont reply: well I deleted it 😘 so they can go take a hike.

As long as you dont amass 2 or more of the same tool (not sure exactly why thats has happened to me!) then your half way there !

About 15 years ago made some shelving for the workshop from an old door found next to a skip. Essentially this masterpiece :)eek:) is the top section of a door cut in half horizontally, and then cut in half again vertically, with the two panels removed. The resulting repurposed door sections...

The lower wheel in the 205 crack quite easy by over tightening the grub screw that holds it to the spindle! Well that's what happened to mine at least. To add if you need a replacement motor then let me know: im also in London so not so far to collect!
