great ,thanks . 4 feeds and returns to 4 individual trips on a seperate board to the normal ring and lights circuits . fitted hand height and each 16a feed can be isolated at the board as needed .is that correct .

Something i ve just noticed on an associated thread . Is it not possible to install a curcuit of 4 blue outlets on 16 amp with the appropriate breaker at the board or does each outlet need its own feed and breaker direct from the board . The circuit seems to be a no no going by that other thread

I'm totally blind to all things electric.If i don't understand something ,i leave it to someone who does. I take it from the replies that i would need 2 circuits then. 13a for normal power tools and 16a for machinery (350 sabre/tp107/lathe/dewalt radial arm) i'll mention these replies to my...

i ve noticed a few mentions of 240v machinery tripping 13 amp circuits and as i'm just at the stage to start wiring my new workshop,would it be advisable to install heavier 16 amp circuits for these machines.

OK,i,ve more or less made my mind up to go an extra bit on the budget and get a record 350 sabre 1249 plus a wheel kit.spoke to a supplier today and going on sat to get a look at one although they only have the 450 in stock in the showroom but will be more or less similar ,just bigger. also...

I think it would depend on if they were actually installed or just sitting as stock on site. most suppliers have terms that state the goods remain their property until paid for so would belong to the supplier although getting access to retrieve them could be an issue. if A chippie had actually...

probably just a wee bit of settlement here and there .the size of the plate base will roughshood over any small soft spot and can't really be helped. not worth argueing with a customer over though and a quick job to rebed them . i d tend to tell them to let it settle for a bit longer and then...

I'd say your mate maybe failed to properly prepare the site ,150 min of well consolidated hardcore but ensuring all topsoill removed first ,40mm layer of sand ,again compacted with a plate and then screeded off to a flat plane .The indian stone you refer to though has an uneven rear side and...

that was my first thought.copper dishes in metalwork 1977 .memories eh

I ve been using splitproof marples(yellow and red ) since the 80s and never used anything except a claw hammer . A wood mallet is an old workshop tool that still has a use on wooden handled chisels with a brass furrel on some but no way would i be hawking a mallet around a building site .Never...

The mortiser is only for occassional repairs to furniture and the like .nothing big and i ve no intention of starting to make doors or windows . I'm in NI and very little 2nd hand 240v stuff comes up and transport costs over the sea would no doubt add quite a bit to one from mainland UK. Next...

my new workshop is 8.5x 4.5 and the only fixed thing so far is a dewalt crosscut saw along one wall . i intend to build an 8x4 workbench in the centre of the floor with a purpose made cut out to accommodate my portable circular saw bench when required .a few storage cupboards will be against...

i'll see how i get on with it before modifying anything but def take your advice on the blades. one of my bear bugs is seeing folk onsite with decent power tools and killing them due to needing a blade replaced.crazy . thanks for the tips

thanks mate but i need something smaller due to space and not fussed about 2nd hand as the worry of needing parts on down the line. looking at a record 350s online with a free wheelkit and 3 blade pack .1k or there abouts and good reviews so that might be the one . many thanks to all the replies...

not fixed but approx 6-700

the record range was foremost in my thoughts tbh and some good company vids on youtube .thanks

just wondering about the thoughts and experiences of different makes of bandsaw. i'm looking a 240v saw that is capable of a good level of performance without blade wander but its for occassional use and i don't require a professional standard although i wouldn't rule out buying that level as...

oops,didn't take notice of that

Anyone without an sds drill really needs to take the step and buy one .decent corded ones are available for 100 quid.no brainer . if that doesn't work,your hitting steel id think. thunderbolts are best for fixing and going into the centre void of the slab will not be an issue with them either

SDS were the original bits with 2 stopped slots on opposite sides of the bit shaft SDS plus had 2 extra flutes added and obviously the chucks were changed .SDS will not fit an SDS plus chuck but it may work the other way round though i ve never tried . SDS max is simply a bigger vervion of SDS...
