I'm really sorry, I think you are missing the point of what I was saying and somehow trying to pick an argument. I won't rise to it. Life is too short to argue.

When I used to run, I just loved extremes of weather. Florida, full mid-day sun, or winter in the hills, horizontal snow. I remember on a hill run. it was a real blizzard. I was just in shorts and a helly top. I met some hill walkers in full mountain gear, snow goggles, walking poles...

Welcome to the forum. My advice would be to have a well insulated workshop which is warm in winter. Which milling machine do you have? I've been looking for one for ages. Lots of really big machines available are good prices, but too big for me.

I wanted a bit of that 40C high, I pre-empted the temperature differential, so I spent the morning re-arranging everything in my poly tunnel where it was 41.9. I love hot weather and love exercising in really hot weather. It's such a nice change from winter exercise, down about freezing and rain.

No, nothing to do with colours or global warming. its just about how the weather is presented these days. the same temperatures (27C) as in the 70's seem to be more hazardous now.

To emphasise the point I was making. My comment is nothing to do with absolute temperatures, It's about the way they present things now.

It's nothing to do with the temperatures. its about how it's presented these days. If you look at the first image, it's 27C in Aberdeenshire and it's just shown as nice sun with a 27 in it. No drama. If you look at the second image from Monday. it's cooler than that everywhere north of Hull and...

What a lot of fuss and ridiculous media hype about a couple of days of hot weather. This is how it was done in the 70's And now Why does everything seem to be such a drama these days.

I use Inkscape. It can produce 1:1 drawings. It's open source and completely free. it's fairly straightforward to do simple drawings. Can you show an example of the type of drawing you want to do?

Welcome to the forum.

That is a handsome looking drill. It has a look of precision and beautifully restored. It will be a pleasure to use. The old machines are great. When I measured the runout inside the MT2 of my ~1950's Meddings, I couldn't understand why the DTI wasn't making contact. I checked a couple of times...

Some people have a LOT more money than sense, but when I think about it, I have purchased things in the past that others would think really expensive for what it was.... camera equipment... :eek: Just checked it out. """ Design Matthew Hilton American white oak, American black walnut or...

I don't like sleeping in a draught of air. I'll wake in the morning with a stiff neck, or shoulder. I think a fan just churns the warm air about and adds about 60W of heating to an already hot room. My daughter just got a 12000btu portable air conditioning unit. It is very good, just like in...

I think the only thing you are doing wrong is using it. If you leave it on the shelf it probably won't break. It must be a poor design. I would be back to Charnwood and see what they say and see if they can offer a different live centre. I have had my live centre for 30+ years I use it on the...

Every so often, everyone in the world drinks water at the same time, so it only looks as if it has disappeared, probably by the next day, everything will swing the other way as everyone in the world has a pee and flushes the toilet.

Welcome to the forum. Some beautiful boxes there :)

I think the blade is blunt if it's causing burning. This will really load the motor. Never heard of VJT blades, they are possibly a good blade, but you don't know the history of your blade. The teeth of TCT blades are very sharp at the point, Even a slight dulling of the tip will reduce the...

I have the 1501 and the only time I get the thermal switch operating is with a poor quality blade (new generic TCT), wide kerf and ripping wood. It has to be given time, however, I changed to a freud, narrow kerf and a blade which is more suited to ripping. It's like night and day. Much less...

@crumster here is my saw. It does look a wee bit similar...they both have round bits and rectangular bits. :)

That's quite a time, but at least you are on the mend again. I hope you continue to recover well
