Have a look here as well, some interesting stuff

the standards are very similar all over the world, but countries like to have control of their own standards.

Unfortunately, it won't make much of a difference, possibly increase the red tape. From the first of Jan 23, there will be a new requirement. Rather than CE marking, it will be UKCA for the internal market . This will be based on existing standards. If a company wishes to export, they will...

Welcome to the forum and good luck with the new venture

Normally, I use my angle grinder the same way as you, so the angle grinder is rotated 180 degrees compared to the 'correct' picture above. I find that gives me the best control.

I've just had a great idea, I'm sure it's been thought of before, but a single really cheap device could be fitted to all electrical devices which would instantly solve the standby problem. It's a thing called a switch. It has two positions. If you put it in one position it connects the device...

I borrow the one from the kitchen. I use it all the time for getting heat into inaccessible places, bearings and seized bolts, also soldering larger items where my soldering iron can't cope. I must get my own one.

Electronic Engineering was a good career to start back in the 70's It's all changed now.

I would say, go for it. You can always come home, or go elsewhere if it doesn't work out. I have spent a lot of time working in San Jose C.A. I worked for an American company in Scotland. I really loved being there. The weather, the vast selection of products available 24 hours a day. I had the...

I've just sent an email to Jill telling her of my struggles and troubles. When my cheque for USD15. 500 000.00 arrives, I'm taking everyone out for a few pints. I would leave a couple of days free at the end of next week. I should get it by then. ;)

Delicious!!!!🦔

Welcome to the forum. I'm retired from a long career in Electronics. It's a really good field to be in, a bit like farming. I also dabble in metalwork and woodwork It will be nice to see some of the things you make.

EMC Standard EN/IEC 61000 3-2, ensures the power factor is within requirements. It looks at the harmonic currents generated by equipment. It applies to equipment of up to 16A per phase. I think the latest revision came into force in 2017.

That's me!!!!! :LOL:

I think my old B&D would do well there! Main problem I see is getting traction. The track will get smoother and smoother as the day goes on :LOL:

They certainly look great. How do you like the sound? that's what really counts. I like the use of materials.

I often have the need to measure unknown threads from old machines. This could be very useful. Message sent

if there was any substance in my argument, the answer would be no, but it's just a fun idea I use. If the accelerating expanding universe did cause time to change, it would actually slow it down, but by a miniscule amount..... I think?

I'm half reasonable at sharpening drills, I look at a new one first, then try to copy the angels whilst fresh in my memory. I generally don't bother doing really small drills. I buy them in bulk.
