I have a Nilfisk which uses filter bags. I cut the bag along theseal at the bottom of the bag. I then fold the end over and clamp it between two pieces of wood and secure with screws. I reuse the bags dozens of times. To clean, I just remove the wood strips, empty the bag, then blast out with...

I would just replace the bearings, but you want to have a try to refurbish, so why not. I would use petrol, paraffin, penetrating fluid or white spirit, whatever is handy. you might be able to remove the seal with a sharp point. Submerge the bearings in the fluid and keep revolving to get all...

Have a think about using a metal shear (something like this), set up with length guide stop for batch production. I have a metalcraft XL5 set and it can shear and bend 40X6, but It does far more than you need and very expensive.

Welcome to the forum Aaron.....a tip......you can mention 'bench', but don't use the other 'B' word!! and please, no pictures of chopped off fingers:eek:

I would never actually do anything like that to a dog, they are the best companions. Years ago, a friend of mine has this dog kind of creature, like a huge set of teeth with a leg at each corner. He kept it in his transit as a deterrent to anyone who might think of staling his van. If you...

Lighten up for goodness sake, It's all in fun and we all do it. One of your comments, for example:-" Is he still banging on about that lying, fad-diet-book-shilling quack? " You need people to pick holes in things. That's what forums are about.

Just long enough for the tranquiliser to take effect

TCT goes through aluminium like a hot knife through butter. I do it all the time. If you are really worried, just inspect the teeth of the saw, but even with a chipped tip, they still cut fine. Also check the blade isn't twisted in some way.

You might find that building control will not be interested in any calculations. They may just need the truss's to be supplied by an accredited manufacturer. The warrant which was done for my extension, didn't really have a great deal of detail. Wiring was just shown as single lines and...

I can generally tell what's happening to my rear without a mirror....so can my wife sometimes!! :ROFLMAO:

I hope the wee boy makes a speedy recovery!!

I have a Record BS 350 and now always use the M42 blades from Tuff Saws I use a 1/2" 4tpi. It's the only blade I use now, a good general purpose blade for the type of work I do. My bandsaw usage varies a lot, so it's difficult to gauge the life of the blades. I initially tried the super tuff...

My favourite are the agree/disagree buttons which go to the left or right, but there is no way of knowing what you actually selected.

most areas have their local words. When I first went to live in Bradford, years ago, it was like a foreign language.

I go into my account every so often to check and delete what it has recorded. There are a lot of 'Audio was not intended for device' and 'Audio could not be understood', but I'm sure these recordings are analysed to improve performance. You can listen to the recordings. You can ask Alexa to...

This might help you :ROFLMAO: Fit like loon?:- Fit like, means-how are you?. Loon is a boy, so how are you boy? Fit means what. Fit like loon literally translates to What like boy, but you are asking how they are. ......Ach, nae bad, just chavin awaw:- Ach, nae bad, means -oh, I'm not bad(i'm...

Fit like loon?......Ach, nae bad, just chavin awaw. Quine, can ye spear yer mither fit she's haein for fly. My aul-man was born and brocht up in Aiberdeenshire, so was a fluent Doric speaker. It takes me a while to tune into Doric now and I have forgotten a lot of it unfortunately.

I just switch things on/off manually. So far it has been pretty reliable. No dropped or lost remotes. I have had no communication problems between the controller and the switch, so I've been really pleased with the system. It is cheap and reliable and quite convenient. The controller has the...

I got a battery powered heated Gilet for a Christmas present. It is fantastic. It works really well. The best thing about it is the heating elements at the back of the collar. It came with a 10Ah battery which will run for about 5-6 hours on the mid setting. It doesn't keep hands warm, but I...

Definitely agree, get a good sized vice which can be clamped to the drill table. Get good drills. I normally use a centre drill to create the pilot holes. If you are drilling repeat holes in a line, centre the pilot drill on the first hole with the piece clamped in the vice, supported by a...
