I have the same saw, the switch is a neat overload portecting latching solenoid switch. I biought a modern zero volt style latching switch and printed something to fit it. I'll look out the file and hopefully details of the switch and post them. I had bypassed the switch but then found it wasnt...

I have this one, it replaces a similar bosch and is much better. We have corded sds as well but this is the goto tool.

As has been said rediculously expensive, but using bits of wood as fillers reduces the amount of stuff used and compare the costs of not using it...

Thanks I've just ordered some, I buy their engine oil regularly. I searched for the oil for this machine last year a couldn't find it, didn't know it was called honing oil, but now I do

I've just fitted flat panels to a new plasterboard ceiling using 3d printed clips, easy, quick, cheap and effective It means either surface mount the power supply or a 100mm hole to hide it. 8 in a 5m x9m room works well, no shadows which is my favourite bit of this. Let me know if you want...

Hi if you fancy a drive to Bishops stortford I can do it whilst you wait on the big cnc router. We've done a good few similar items, its quick and simple (hence beer tokens )

I've bought many from aliexpress a fellow traveller with temu and have been very impressed by them. I bought a 4 wing 75mm surfacing cutter with indexable blades for around £40 half the price of the identical one from amazon/ebay. It's much better made than the old 2+2 wing 63mm one it replaces...

Rennie amongst many others sell solid carbide drills. They are expensive. If you use them in a hand drill they will snap They will drill hard things, cap head bolts for instance without difficulty. If you are using a drill press with clamped down vice or lathe/mill they are magnificent. Hope...

Black mamba, fairly expensive but you can take them on and off many times, very strong but you can feel through them

I think that you are on the right trail, except for the spindle, I recommend that you i'vest in an atc (automatic tool change) spindle, it's a game changer and a tool height setter. It means that you need compressed air as well, but that means you can use fog lubrication instead. I have a...

Fein cordless multitool is head and shoulders better than the rest, lower vibration is the standout. I still have my first corded one which is 30 years old now (Alan bolt slips a bit) but if you search you'll find a new one with batteries for £250. The original was £450 which was used in a...

As a youth I worked on boats, we would paint the deck all over, then mask areas off, repaint within the panels created, sprinkle the finest sharp sand to be found(sieved) then left to dry. Finally sweep off the loose, a vac would have been very useful and then recoat the whole deck. The unsanded...

Hi there's a product range called repair care which is perfect for this. You use a die grinder to "eat away" all the rotten wood, then prime with a liquid 2 pack epoxy and then use the thixotropic paste to fill back what you remove. It has the bendiness and same hardness as the wood. It's super...

I have the same printer bought as a kickstarter around the same time. It was spectacular in its day, but last September I splurged on a creality K1 max and as the robox was to the rest in 2015 so the K1max is to the robox today. I use creality hyper pla which prints at 300mm/s for most bracketry...

I've had luck using second hand slow start units as you then don't need star delta

I don't understand your comments

Shielding the cable, or using shielded cabling is worth the small extra cost as it avoids interference, I too liked the magnet drilled into the face of the car pulley, I assumed that the black diamond was a visual clue and it means that you can use your sensor on the edge of the pulley. I have...

I filter the air from the extraction back into the workshop, seems to work and keeps the heat in/out. I used panel filters for spray booths in addition to the filter bags, you just need to make the shed air tight ish
