Unless you spend proper money cordless is never as powerful as corded. The £500 drill kit from the usual names may match a £50 own brand corded drill bit it gives a idea of price ratios. Ryobi did make some decent stuff on the past but while I've not used them in anger the OnePlus stuff has...

Always nice to hear a definite result. Anyone searching for this now has an answer.

Whenever I need to do this I use a scroll saw. 90% of the time that's with a 14tpi coping saw blade, moderate speed and the sheet pushed through at it's "natural" rate - that is, the speed where increasing the force applied does not materially increase the cutting speed. I find you don't need to...

Don't have personal experience but I don't see why it shouldn't work. There have been several reports of the opposite being done, i.e. Makita trimmer in Katsu base.

Slightly different, if you look at a petrol stove, yes including Coleman, there is a pipe running across the burner. The fuel runs through it to preheat and vapourise it. Soot is a symptom of the petrol being cold. Unleaded petrol always used to be fine in a Coleman stove. Possibly the alcohol...

This thread has all the hallmarks of becoming a political cesspool but after watching it live my thoughts were the Employer NI hike was a good deal bigger than expected, both in headline rate and threshold. Your pub landlord will be on the hook for NI for that barmaid which does a couple of 4...

Shurely some mishtake?

Don't, you'll end up down that rabbit hole of using a 3/8" spanner for a 1/2" bolt...

Did you renew your policy or shop around? When did your old policy expire and when did you take out the new one? When did you receive the intial letter and the judgement, and when were they both dated? It sounds like renewal and offence are close together so the exact dates matter. In...

For the money it is provided of course you respect its limitations. Three issues I noted: table is nowhere near level. I spent a good few hours hand scraping it, now true to about 0.1mm, was more like 1mm when I started. If doing it again I'd simply fit a false table on top from MDF or similar...

I'd be suspicious of an installation error with respect to ventilation, LEDs do not kick out anywhere as much heat as other lamp styles but they are quite allergic to the heat they do generate, which is still non-trivial for high powered LEDs used for lighting. If they are gradually dimming over...

Radon?

I can't claim too much experience but picked up something like this perhaps 10-15 years ago. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285661632225 At this time it was perhaps £10-15 so well in the "take a punt" territory. Doubly so now. It turned out not to be a bad choice, that ELM327 is a magic term, it...

I suppose that's true here, the one that came to mind for me was polishing brass. As for polishing shoes I don't actually hate it but just don't get around to it. Eventually I figured it out - when the shoes are brand new polish them every day for the first few days followed by every other day...

That's an F connector. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F_connector BNC plugs have a bayonet lamp style locking collar as opposed to a screw thread. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNC_connector

I suspect from the proportions those are actually male connectors looking at them, albeit with a tubular centre pin, but it's difficult to be definitive from a photo. If that centre pin fits inside the centre tube of the mating connector it is male. They're called Belling-Lee connectors if you...

Firstly I would suggest proofreading prior to posting. A typo here and there is perfectly forgivable but the above is a semi-incomprehensible mess. You're not going to get any input from the most knowledgeable chap in the world if they can't be bothered to decipher your post. As to the actual...

That's what I learned too, as part of the "Introduction to Computing" part of my degree at Manchester over 25 years ago now. If you've ever been to Manchester everything is named after Whitworth - kind of like Harris (mill owner) here in Preston. The story goes early in his career - either in...

Doesn't appear to be at the minute but I'm sure it'll be back, they have a brief description of it at https://www.axminstertools.com/ideas-advice/the-art-of-scroll-sawing-part-3/ Price last time I saw it was broadly similar or slightly higher to that you've already found. They do appear used on...

Greetings from Preston, whereabouts are you?
