Of course and duly noted. Thanks for the info too very interesting reading. I've just taken delivery of my first bandsaw so perfect for me to understand how it all works.

Remember to make a note of the polarity before removing the old one.

Ooooh nice looking bits but unfortunately outside my price range for now but thanks for the reply. I'll probably get a set from screwfix and see which ones I end up using most and then replace them with higher quality ones as I wear them out. Cheers all.

I have a similar question, I too am looking for my first set of Forstner bits and don't want to waste money on crappy bits as gone over budget on my workshop build already. Did you ever find a good quality set of bits? I'd be interested to hear your findings. Cheers Dave.

Temperature and weather changes A 2012 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report confirmed that a strong body of evidence links global warming to an increase in heat waves, a rise in episodes of heavy rainfall and other precipitation, and more frequent coastal flooding. Wikipedia...

Of course, it's all my fault. I don't know why I couldn't see it before, I will immediately sell my EV and by a Bathurst VXR8 as I've always been a petrol head and I'll take down my rain water reclamation system so my £100 p.a. water bill goes back up to £600 and remember to leave the lights on...

At the risk of an overly long post, I'll condense it for those that don't read the whole thing. A very close friend of mine worked for 18mths at Rothera base in Antarctica, while he was there as the base Electrician he had plenty of time to get to know what really is happening and everything...

That attitude is exactly why we are.

I'll say it will be food shortages first, as the climate warms we'll have no rain for months and then a month of none stop heavy rain and flooding, oh wait a minute sorry that's already started. We've got about 50 years before everyone wishes we had another 50 years to fix it. Seriously we are...

Regarding PHEVs don't waste your money, think about it you've got an engine, gearbox and a tank of fuel then you're adding an electric motor and a battery pack. The weight alone kills your fuel economy and throws the handling out of the window. I had a BMW 330e Hybrid and the car was rubbish...

Just to stimulate further thought. The Earth's atmosphere is an extremely thin sheet of air extending from the surface of the Earth to the edge of space. The Earth is a sphere with a roughly 8000 mile diameter; the thickness of the atmosphere is about 60 miles. So shall we contaminate it further...

@Ozi would a Sinclair C5 suit you? (Tongue in cheek) I hear they're quite collectable.

So, has anybody had their mind changed by this discussion? Or is this just a platform for a good moan? Really curious.

Please don't think I'm some rich git with all the toys he can dream of because that definitely isn't the case here and I fully understand where you're coming from. For me it was a necessity to furnish myself with cheap to run low maintenance transport as I'm no longer physically capable of...

Then I gracefully accept your point, an EV could do that for you but the cost of it would be high an example is the Best range electric car: Tesla Model S Plaid+: 520 miles. Data from Google.

;)

Sounds expensive to me, I don't need 500 MLS range but I do supplement my electricity with solar power which means I can drive for free well at least part of if and a super charger can charge my car in around two hours from flat but I never run it flat just like you won't run your tank until...

I assume you are talking from your own experience? Because I am. Thanks for your interest.

IMO what needs to happen is fuel stations need to switch from selling fossil fuel to electric charge points. This would encourage folk to take up EV ownership and when the local petrol station stops selling petroleum and starts selling electric instead the message would become very clear. The...
