    Acramill collet

    They were made by kennametal who are still going so you could contact their technical department. I think they're related to Bristol Ericsson collet systems if that helps any.

    Wood burner fan

    Thanks for the input and info on Rayburns everyone, most helpful! I've got a mind to remove it if I do go ahead and get the one offered as I can see how I would use it to deliver underfloor heating using a proportional control valve to split between the floor loops and a heat dump radiator...

    Wood burner fan

    How do you find the Rayburn? I've been offered one which needs an overhaul FOC if I can move it, and am tempted to take it on as a project as it would fit in with my (eventual) plans to replace the godawful fitted kitchen with a freestanding kitchen setup. But whilst I've done a fair bit of...

    How do you deliver a large table?

    If the table is of generally sturdy construction, wrapping the showing surfaces, then securely crating it secured with dunnage and shipping with a pallet-line would be a viable option from an outcome point of view; cost wise I imagine it would stack up quite well, too... But it's limited by...

    Vaccination

    Who's your chip from, anyone good? A nurse friend of mine went for his *** back in December, and joked: "According to the conspiracy theories after this Bill Gates will be able to control my thoughts, but surely that's a selling point... He's clearly done alright at his own life, so I'm...

    Smart home display stopped working

    When I switched providers my smart meter stopped for about 2-2½ weeks, before suddenly springing back to life. I'm not sure how or why it did, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't reflect the tarriff I'm on, as it appears to suggest things will be about ⅓ more expensive than the same usage (in KW/m³)...

    Vaccination

    I would tend to agree with you, as would many relevant Experts... Some of my friends who work in science communication and behavioural change economics do their absolute nut about the way the media as a whole tends to oversimplify to make everything into nice neat "Facts" or "Black/White...

    Excel

    You're not wrong! The files are outputs from a legacy non-relational database, which have to be pre-processed via a macro to sanitise it to go into a relational database... Because it's not something that needs doing frequently, and the legacy system is due for imminent replacement, processing...

    Unexpected Blog Post on Apprenticeships

    I Got the impression that part of what he was saying was that being exposed to: "a wide variety of types of people: there were hard workers, slow workers, charmers, sulkers, academics and BS merchants. Without realising it, you were gaining the mental tools to be able to deal with all these...

    Unexpected Blog Post on Apprenticeships

    I got the impression that it was written by the MD himself, or by a professional copywriter from CSG's marketing team, with detailed input from the MD himself on exactly what it should say... Because it's too blunt about their perception of the impact of historical political decisions to not...

    You guys must be heavy drinkers...

    Some of that is probably around cultural expectations as well. As a British student I would probably have found an assignment which effectively stopped me from having a social life for two weeks to be unreasonable too! (I would have made sure it got done... Because you know, it's notionally why...

    Excel

    I have recently finished processing a set of spreadsheets with 92 columns and between 320,000 and a little over 1 million rows (quite close to the limitations of modern xlsx) for a project at work... I would think 5300 rows wouldn't even cause excel to do whatever the computer equivalent of...

    Unexpected Blog Post on Apprenticeships

    It's not often you start reading a blog on a company website and can be bothered to scroll down... But this blog from the MD of Cleansing Services Group (a company who operate a curious mix of services as diverse as septic tank emptying, hazardous waste treatment and photographic services), was...

    Can you beat this for quality?

    Friend of mine bought a knock-off battery charger via Ali-Express. Had a clippy insert thing to switch between euro and BS1363 plugs, which is fair enough... But, where you'd normally have hidden contacts on the side that goes into the wall, and studs that slide into them on the cable side, on...

    Watertight after 20 years

    I like that! When I was insulating the walls of my workshop, I wrote out all the measurements for the various bits I was cutting for the stud-work on the outer concrete walls in marker pen; as I came to put the insulation in prior to closing it all up, on the spur of the moment I signed and...

    Welder advice

    They're not truly essential, and I know professional welders who actually prefer hand shields or fixed shades... But if you don't weld all the time, it's probably the single biggest thing you can do to improve your welding I think it's about recognising what you want to do, why, at what level...

    ML-210 model makers lathe

    It was Toyo who made them for Record, details here. You're right about the excellent reputation too! I think the Japanese maker beginning with M you're thinking of is Mori-Seiki, who went on to form DMG-Mori, who areca big name in the CNC turning market for their Swiss Machines (type of lathe...

    Moore and Wright tool ID/help/info

    As @TFrench says predominantly scrapers of various styles. They're worth decent money to the right person, as they're still used for various niche things, but increasingly hard to source new in bigger sizes (and decent quality). Popping them on eBay individually or as small lots, then just...

    Bringing goods from the EU

    "A valid viewpoint" is a whole can of worms. You're perfectly entitled to believe that, and you're equally entitled to vote based on your beliefs. You aren't entitled to not be challenged on whether that viewpoint can be supported by evidence, by someone who holds a different one, or who has...

    Bringing goods from the EU

    It is highly unlikely that the end of free movement will lead to any meaningful change in the housing situation. If anything in the event there was a drop in the housing market caused by a sudden rush of departures then it's likely the government would move to shore up those prices via other...
