Haven't used mine for metric for a while but as far as I recall the intermediate has a stacked 40 outer and either 60 or 63 inner (63 for 1.75, 3.5 as well). So in the set up charts the first number quoted is the outer gear. The 127 runs on the outer. As Sideways says the spacers can be a bit...

Only problem we ever had was the kick if it hits something it can't get through, can really swing you round if you are going full tilt when it happens ! The ones we had used a star shaped plastic coupling, designed to break if you hit something really stubborn to save damaging the tool or the...

Narrow spade is really good for shaping the hole and loosening the material, then pull it out with what we used to call a shove holer, as below. Only two tools you need, unless you are doing loads. Doing horse paddock fencing years ago we used to use a petrol driven auger. Great when you want...

For me the issue is there is clearly enormous investment required to upgrade the infrastructure. It ought to be possible to crack on with this a bit better if centrally funded, and the buck would stop in one place. Would it necessarily be run super efficiently, probably not. But it is too...

Much the same as he may intend to do with Ukraine. "You can sit outside Mr Zelensky, while I sort this out with my mate Vlad".

I actually have one of those. And a super modern Motorola, like the one below. Three batteries one on it and two in the sides of the case. Standby time a few hrs, talk time maybe 10-15 mins before you needed a new battery! Oh how excited we were when they came out!

Let the fun commence :-)

I had a go once at carrying a hod of bricks, much to the amusement of the brickies working on my house. Never again. The guy they had doing it was a skinny little chap but he was up and down scaffolding with a full hod like the Duracell bunny. One trip was enough for me.

Got to say I'm not generally a fan of state ownership, but I think Water is so important that it really should be under state control. The current arrangements have hardly been a resounding success.

My dad was a desert rat. He used to do this all the time as a patio heater, in the cut off bottom of a gas bottle filled with sand. Always surprised me how long it would burn for a quite small amount of petrol.

Oh dear. You do realise that at the beginning of the war the Soviets and the Nazis were allies under the Von Ribbentrop pact? Some details of that. Firstly the agreement to carve up Poland between them. So the poor old Poles found themselves being invaded more or less simultaneously, by the...

I really don't know where to start, you obviously have no knowledge whatsoever of how "Uncle Joe" and his cronies saw things. How do you reach out to people who would rather shoot their own citizens than allow them to have anything to do with you? It almost sounds as though you think we built...

Regarding embracing the USSR as a trading partner etc, I think there was a chap called Stalin who had other ideas, so was never going to happen.

Maybe an ABS ring and sensor? Relatively cheap, compact and robust.

Third paragraph of post 1017. I agree the withdrawal was long overdue. And as such I agree that in principle characterising it as a surrender is by no means justified, but some people do. My observation was simply that it is odd for people like Tony to blame it entirely on Biden. Let's...

I think we have a number of problems. The Arab spring comes to mind. In Egypt you had a popular uprising against a leader who was universally disliked, fair enough. We then tried to characterise the conflicts in Syria and Libya in the same way, when they weren't the same at all. In both cases...

I think the issue was with the comment about not even being able to beat a bunch of third world people etc. I took that to be a criticism of Biden, which I think is unfair. If you take the view that the withdrawal amounted to a surrender, then the person waving the white flag was undoubtedly...

With you there, looks good but I wouldn't have the foggiest. Certainly looking forward to seeing how you get on with it.

I think they might be for a handheld coping type saw. I have a jewellers one that has an adjustable frame so it can use the short machine type blades or the longer ones, which I am guessing are about 6 1/2 inch. Guessing because I'm rearranging stuff and can't find the box with the saw and...

Worth measuring the spindle bore. Not sufficiently au fait with Boxford to know how they spec their machines. Sometimes the quoted spindle bore size is the actual size of the bore. In other cases it can be a pass through size, ie 3/4 being the largest size that will go through it. 3/4 is...
