Backlash is important in CNC applications- where reversing direction with some backlash means that you have misalignment between passes in opposite direction... eg in the forward direction, you have an action take place at say 5mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm etc- but with a coupler with say 1mm backlash...

LOL- I can just imagine you turning something... 'Whatya mean it won't fit- positive I read those measurements right... see 2cm x 6cm- oh bugga.... 🤪

Check that the capacitance you are buying matches the existing one in the machine!!! (they do vary in size- the 50uF number should be the same- the voltage can be the same or higher...450v or higher...)

We actually turned off the 'auto unlock after an accident' feature as the local crooks had taken to giving a parked car a hardish knock with a stolen ute or car fitted with a bullbar (which is the vast majority on Aussie roads) which will then unlock the car- grab any valuables inside and drive...

In the case of LED 'bulbs', there is usually a constant current source driver, driving a high voltage string of series LEDs This is from Big Clive, two typical bulbs, one from Poundland, the other from the local supermarket (despite being from different sources, and having a different number of...

That wouldn't cause just the top bulbs in a twin light fitting to fail...

LED's have zero issues with being 'flashed'- they are a solid state component!!! The failure of 'cheap' LED bulbs is usually manufacturers overdriving the LED's inside badly, in order to use less LEDs to get the same output (this is the cause of most early LED bulb failures) and there are some...

There is always google business (which I am currently in the process of setting up for the trailer hires)- it allows google maps to show your business and allows it to come up on google searches more readily- and allows you to link to your website (currently I am also in the process of setting...

Depends- there's a lot of poor quality 'bulk' cable out there too- if you plan on 'rolling your own' it pays to investigate exactly what you are buying... (and making sure you know how to connect the belling-lee connectors (or F connectors if that is what you are using) correctly...) I have seen...

LED's are fine with that- it was compact fluros (and full sized 'fluro tubes') that had issues with frequent switching (it led to 'tube blackening' at the ends where the heaters were located) and premature tube failure... Indeed in some LED circuits (where they use a string of multiple LED's...

As to the top lamp failing- thats 'odd'... The only thing I can think of is that possibly the top bulbs are exposed to sunlight through the top cover, and are being 'cooked' by the sun (maybe causing the capacitors inside to 'dry out') That's about the only thing I can think of that could be...

Not always- outside lighting can often be found on a fused spur off the power circuits, if that is what is available... (perfectly legal to do so- IF you used a separate fused switch... One of these usually fitted with a 3A fuse.... (unless you have a LOT of lights or high powered floodlamps...

AJS is correct- its an F connector and yes the right angle adapters are available online and quite cheap (about $5 here)

Bloody vercel- the spammers paradise... (they have been hosting spammers for years- they simply don't care at all, people have been reporting users of vercel to their abuse link for at least a few years- and they send you a nice reply basically saying 'we found nothing wrong, so go get a police...

Mines an unlimited, but with a speedcap after 100Gb... (the one I had before that was also 100Gb- but then 10c per Gb after that!!!!) sux being rural- we got a 'choice here between Hel$ra, and Belong- which is owned by Hel$tra anyway.... No competition means poor customer service (our cellphone...

One thing to watch out for- a TV using the internet is dependent on your connection speed and number of devices connected to the router, and can also in some cases use a staggering amount of data each month if you have a data cap... (I have a 100gb cap on mine- and the tv alone could use it up...

Belling Lee or 75 ohm coax connectors- those are the males, readily available online as plugs (use 75 ohm coax!!) or premade 5m is also readily available online or at most hardware stores in premade 5m lengths (the premade ones usually have the same connector (male) each end but also usually...

Personally I use Aliexpress or Alibaba first (if I'm going to buy Chinese stuff, I'd rather buy it direct rather than through an Ebay seller thats selling factory seconds for twice the price you can get from the manufacturer for good ones)- the biggest issue is the time it takes to get here-...

For those who might be thinking 'why would a long drawbar make it LESS of an effect- a long lever makes it have MORE mechanical advantage right???' Another quick sketch lol Remember that a trailer has THREE points of support (for a single axle trailer)- the two tyres, and the hitch itself...

You can readily change the cells in many brands- although you 'can' solder the new cells in (especially if you get the ones with the prewelded 'tabs' on each end), I bought a small handheld 'spotwelder' specifically made for welding the tabs onto 'naked' cells- cost about $23 off the Chinese...
