Years ago I bought a DeWalt 1/6 sheet sander - the second day I owned it I ran it up a door lining, the short lead snatched it out of my hand and that was the end of that.

I have a Metabo 1/4 sheet - it's without doubt the worst power tool I've ever bought. Unless you're taking a punt on LidldeAldi don't buy the entry level tool of any range.

They didn't.

As with most powered gear - unless you've a very valid reason, always go larger than you think you'll need. You can do small stuff on a large machine, but not vice versa.

I had three, all three failed quite quickly.

If you were my wife I'd tell you it's a grunge extractor.

^^^^^^ yes. Ensure you soak the ends for a few days, don't just dip them in and out. I made a softwood gate thirty years ago that's still solid - the parts were pickled in Cuprinol for a few weeks and then dried out prior to assembly. It's been painted well over the years.

Have a look at these if you want some more light in certain locations - https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/workshop-etc-lighting.150127/post-1775601 available in different wattages.

I just bought another 10w one. And 3 x 20w ones and a 30w one. :)

Bump. I'm surprised this hasn't sold.

I just got a couple of these - https://cpc.farnell.com/4lite/4l2-1000/floodlight-10w/dp/LA11365 £2.45 a piece for IP65 - can't be bad. The leads could be longer, but hey ho.

What was meant was there's no facility to attach a chuck to the left side of the headstock, not that you couldn't turn outboard.

It's not clear whether the chuck was bought with the lathe. Even if it was there's no guarantee it was used on it or even that it's possible for it to be used on it. The lathe not having an outboard turning facility would lead you to believe a chuck that came with probably isn't left hand...

oggy - pasty, obviously never heard of steved, crake, dumments, bullhorns, snot (in that sense), niceys or bisky dreckly is not soon, it's sometime between now and eternity cheel(d) is a girl child.

We were told by scirentists in the '70s that earth was going to get colder, we were heading into an ice age. Conveniently forgotten.

According to scientists we'd be heading into an ice age by now.

I've used Everbuild stuff for years and not had a problem. I've not glued MDF, though, but I'd wonder anything would do it very well.

Are you referring to 502 or D4? 502 (D3) lasts for ages.

Khan wants to run the underground on renewables. An industry expert pointed out that the largest offshore windfarm in the world took nine years from the inception to the coming on line. Khan would need one every five weeks for several years. He's as deluded as the communist Milibrain.

Yes I was wrong, it's 16% on mine - no gas.
