I assume this is Windows based? How is it for bare metal recovery? I.e. do you need to install Windows on a new drive before you can restore which is an issue I've had with many of the free options. I tend to take full disk image backups which work but are slow and inflexible since it's the...

To follow up my own post I'd pick up some heat shrink to redo the insulation as well: https://cpc.farnell.com/pro-power/hs114-1-2m/heatshrink-3-1-3-2mm-blk-1-2m/dp/CB10000 for a whole 77p. Infinitely preferable to bodging the job with insulating tape. The stuff I quoted there is adhesive...

Thinking about it, was it 94 that came with the plan for a milk float? Remember building one for my nephew.

I remember the cover on the Hobbies 94 catalogue well, think I saw the the 96 one in WH Smith but never picked it up, was busy with other things at the time. It was the 93 or 94 catalogue that as I've said previously here that made me lust after a Diamond saw as a teenager earning £7 a week...

I'd echo AES's comments, price asked is nothing, you could get double. Your issues with moving the unit are noted but if you can arrange palletised delivery (even at perhaps £60-80) that'll expand the market considerably, people are generally not willing to travel hundreds of miles for things...

Under £17 inc VAT at CPC https://cpc.farnell.com/united-automation/csr604a/ic-power-regulator-6a/dp/SC11529 don't know why it didn't turn up on my earlier search. Buy a couple of screwdrivers or whatever and you'll be into free delivery although it's only a matter of £4 regardless. Don't know...

Mulder. Scully was the sceptical one played by Gillian Anderson.

The frames are similar and the blades interchangeable... but scroll or fret saw blades (one and the same thing) are different to jeweller's or piercing saw blades (also the the same, but different to fret or scroll saw blades). Fret saw blades are primarily woodwooding, although metal cutting...

It looks like there is something wrong with the site as I post this - looks like a missing style sheet - so I hope you are able to read this. I would tend to agree with Spectric. For one thing it is an always-on parasitic power drain built into the socket itself. Also USB is becoming...

It's an off-brand copy of a Papst fan, full datasheet here: https://www.mouser.co.uk/datasheet/2/120/ebm_papst_R1G190AB2702-1880174.pdf Speed control is easy enough, it can be controlled via a variable voltage in the range 0-10V on the yellow wire - that's a high impedance signal rather than...

You really need a device data sheet or at least make & model, there are way too many variables otherwise.

I was about to suggest the very same as Agent Zed, miser mitts, of which cycling gloves tend to be the easiest to obtain. Yes, your hands/fingers will be cold if it's freezing but I've found them enough to keeping feeling and dexterity in your fingers.

It's one of those things that a computer essentially can't solve fully, short execution times generally means they've given up sooner rather than being fundamentally better. It's a class of problem called NP complete in computer science, essentially the only way to arrive at the single best...

Personally I wouldn't fancy your chances carrying it on a bike. Which saw is it we are talking about? I have one of the older 25" saws and it's 30kg and pretty much a metre long. The later versions (with a curved over column for the top arm) save a bit of depth but that maybe a matter of...

It's not a new idea and no it isn't a good one. Yes, it can usually be made to work but there is always the chance of damaging either plug or or socket (from memory, the pins on a euro plug are slightly too close which basically means forcing it into place. Then you may well find it wedged in...

Like for like does not mean identical, the insurers are entitled to choose their preferred brands, like for like is about equivalent quality and features. Some things are easy to nitpick, e.g. solid wood replaced by MDF, marble tops with laminate, but generally I would expect such things to be...

A couple of thoughts, although I suspect more points to consider than practical suggestions. I'd have a look at the compensating beams used on locomotives to distribute weight between axles on potentially uneven track. In short pairs of axles are connected on their own subframe which is then...

The offset "cutters" remind me of the scriber you'll find fitting to a Vernier height gauge, e.g...

Seems a good deal if it's what you want, especially with the Makpac case thrown in. https://cpc.farnell.com/makita/hp453zj/18v-combi-drill-inc-case-bare/dp/TL22070

What Spectric said. If you read datasheets for relays they'll often give broad brush behaviour as supply voltage changes. Typical figures might be that it's specified to activate properly at maybe 75% of the rated voltage but only guaranteed to release at less than 20% of the rated voltage...
