Thanks for all replies, folks. My house had a new CU fitted in 2005; the sockets are on their own RCD so at least the lights stayed on. Might investigate double pole MCBs for some circuits - sparky job, naturally. Just seems daft to me that the only way of isolating circuit doesn't really...

Can any of the electricians on here explain why MCBs only switch live? I was replacing a socket the other day upstairs - no sweat says I, just flip the MCB for upstairs sockets and press on. Accidentally touch neutral and earth at the same time... residual current is enough to trip the RCD and...

Amazon. They're just toggle clamps with the appropriately threaded feet replacing the original bolt. M8 threads in this case.

Tbh it's usually fine without even locking the wheels. If I need extra stability for something demanding I can lower a couple of feet at the rear, like this (only one lowered in this photo) When I built a low-loader style base for my P/T (iTech 260S) I didn't even bother with locking wheels...

Ended up making my own base for my Sabre 350, allows the machine to swivel on the spot, reduced the height a bit and provided bespoke blade storage.

Struggling to imagine how you kept that lot under £200 :LOL:

I doubt I could have found a saw doctor that could turn an aggressive 24 tooth "multipurpose" blade into a 60 tooth negative rake one, so buying new was probably the only option ;)

I have the Fury3 XL. Struggled with the factory blade for ages before replacing it with one of these Axcaliber Contract 254mm Neg Rake TCT Saw Blade It was like having a new saw! Superb cuts. Used a reducing ring (30mm - 25.4mm) with no problems.

I use Freud blades in my ancient cheapo table saw. Not the cheapest but worth the extra for durability. You can get away with a 40 tooth blade for just about anything; I use 24t for ripping and 40t for sled work. Not seen a need for 60t yet. There's a 2-pack available from Screwfix which is...

Warranty invalidated? That's insane! The blade is a consumable item, surely. :oops:

I made my shop drawers with pocket holes - hidden back and front as you've suggested - and never had any problems with them despite a fair amount of use. One thing I found is that alignment can go a bit wonky during assembly even when clamped; if I made those drawers again I would add a couple...

Why no exposed hardware? Seems an unnecessary constraint for what I presume is essentially 'shop furniture?

This, 100%. Never inaccurate, never needs adjusting, works for any blade. Wish my SCMS had this setup instead of the built-in laser (which although adjustable is impossible to get accurate).

Anyone remember Spangles? Used to love the cola flavoured ones.

FIFY ;)

Fixed that for you ;)

This would be my approach. Make the mistake bigger - but straight - then plug with a contrasting wood. It has the advantage of allowing you to get it wrong a few more times before you cut your feature inserts :cool: which can then be planed/sanded for a very precise fit.

All I said was, "this halibut's good enough for Jehovah."
