Not used one of these,but, would expect interlocks to stop more than one motor running at a time. Most likely nothing wrong, just need to know the change over / safety interlock procedure.

Try Warco ? https://www.warco.co.uk/drilling-machines-bench-pillar-drills/302909-2b5-bench-mounting-drill-drilling-machine.html They used to check things before they went out......now, I have no idea. You are a bit too far away to attend one of their open days ( when they start them again)...

Just something to watch for anyone picking up on this thread. Older drills were Nicad cells, these are I think now outlawed in the UK , perhaps wider. Replacements purchased are likely to be NiMH and these have a rather different recharge characteristic so may ‘survive’ the old chargers, or not...

Not cheap, but when the cupboard is full and you have a water leak........ https://www.screwfix.com/p/surestop-rem ... 15mm/48604 No power required.

With some experience of both HVLP and conventional spray gear, I would say.....be very careful if there is other high value gear in the same ‘shed’. No matter how good you are, no matter how careful, there is always some ‘drop out’ either in the form of overspray which is still ‘tacky’ or a dry...

Best emulsion EVER Caparol Amphibolin. As mentioned above, water based gloss is tricky to get nice finish, try Caparol Haftprimer Adhesion, High Opacity Primer/Undercoat and gloss, applied with 5mm pile rollers by ‘two fussy blokes’. The difference is unbelievable, I hate painting but have to...

Most certainly single phase 240v. First job, check / substitute the starter capacitor. If you have a multimeter check the windings. Worth ( if you feel safe doing so) bypassing the switch. Whilst you are checking it out, it might be worth removing the blade! 12.5 mf 400v motor start capacitors...

I wonder if it would be worth talking to a company who coat rollers for the printing / copier industry. These guys used to be local to me but moved a few years ago.......worth a phone call, perhaps? https://www.fluoroprecision.co.uk/

Things to consider....I won’t be sharp even straight from the box, it will need work. Close that throat right up for fine clearance and consider the grain direction. Take very fine shavings. As others have said, not really the right plane for the job, but it can do a much better job than that...

I agree, sorry, I should have looked up the saw before suggesting the vfd. :(

Btw ( you may already be aware) Not all ply to BS1088 is ‘Lloyds approved’. You most certainly want Lloyds approved.....this may account for some of the price difference.

I think you could get this feature using a 220v to 220v single phase VFD you could also arrange dc braking I suspect. This perhaps ( dependant on motor size ) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173938352775 I have the same make of vfd single to 3 phase and it certainly has soft start and dc...

That does seem a little expensive ! But I have dealt with Fyne Boat kits over the years , nice guys and always willing to support by phone if you are working on their plans / kits. Robins would be my other option. Having had issues with the ‘covid jobsworth’ at James Lathams this week ( totally...

Before you get to trying pullers / heat on the pulleys make a very careful check for second grub screws, I have seen this on occasions. Then first stage is to try heat, easiest to try paint stripping air gun or plumbing gas torch as first try. If you resort to pullers, take great care if the...

Hi RogerS Most certainly the wrong belt, and whilst I was certain I have just been to check mine, you need a ‘polyvee’ belt. If no one comes along with the correct procedure to get the bottom pulley off, I will take mine apart tomorrow and work it out for you. I will check back later. Jim

Cheap and expendable squares can be cut from the undamaged corners of thin sheet mdf. They can also be quite large so very good for door making.

Epoxy every time ‘Wests’ is pricey but very reliable. Dependant on hardener and temperature you get a decent assembly time.

Yes! Judging from a very apologetic email received this morning, I surmise that they have had a bit of an issue sending out complimentary copies to ex subscribers of the old magazines, I read it as “the data base got a bit scrambled” !
