I have just bought a new SCMS I was very close to getting the Makita but I was put off in the end by the vertical handle. This may be a ridiculous reason but it doesn't seem ideally placed. Also my main useage is going to be heavier duty. I think from my web readings the Makita is highly rated...

Just to add a public thanks for the mags. Cheers Alan

I don't think it's over the top at all. when working with hardwoods it's always been the case to work to a few thou'. Agreed the specific measurement may not be precisely true as long as it is true in it's relationship with adjoining pieces. what would be the point in scribing as line if it's...

As Simon said leaks only when turned on. I tried fiddling getting the ball back and couldn't get it to play ball :shock: hence buying the spare bits. Sounds like your thermal cutout may have gone. ball park around £20 to replace if the unit is not very old maybe OK but if getting on then need...

Steve, I have had one go on my mum's shower (not pumped) her hose collapsed and the pressure release blew out. It was a small ball couple of mm if I recall. Anyway you know when it's happened because the unit leaks water out of the bottom through the pressure release point. Cost about a fiver I...

It might be worth you having a go with the google "advanced search" you should be able to see it to the right of the normal google box that you put your text into. When in advanced search put what you are looking for in the forum in the first box and specify in the "within a site or domain" box...

Karl. I think I'd do it (read did do it) in situ, you can see what you're aiming for and it's as well anchored in it's place as anywhere. Alan

Know what you mean :-) first one helping with computer upgrade, They think my desklamp is a sunlamp

Thanks Mick, I hadn't managed to stumble upon that relevant bit of info before. These govt sites are pretty poor in a lot of dumbing down, by missing out key info, as if we'll all go into overload and not able to cope with a bit of reading. I had looked at a similar but different site. As for...

Are you sure this is the correct understanding? I take that to be the maximum height of any part of a building at the point of 2 metres from the boundary. So you could start at 1 metre from boundary with a 2metre eaves rising to 4m as long asthe pitch is such that at two metres from the...

Karl, In the meantime, I assume the riving knife hasn't got an actual "bend" as in a crease? I'm guessing what happened is someone gave the guard a clout with a hefty lump of wood. As you are going to change it anyway, get a large adjustable spanner and adjust the flats to fit the riving knife...

I have a Rojek saw PK315, although it's badged Startrite. (can see the Rojek Manufacture plate on it) and it is very solid and well made. Startrite are part of the Record power group and I think you'll find they don't make any of their kit anymore it's all rebadged, they rebadged some saws like...

:D Yes I was introduced to that a few weeks back. Just like one of my two. If she had opposable thumbs I am sure she would use that baseball bat in the mornings. She has taken to poking us now if she doesn't get what she wants at 06.30 interspersed with a race round the bed up on the headboard...

They look like lovely cats. We always had moggies and they were always entertaining and great cats. When we lost our last one there was this gap to fill and I thought we would give a breed a try. I researched and found the ocicat as seen in my avatar. I was happy that their life wasn't shortened...

I have a V70, last of the older style 2000 year model 170bhp. I've had it 10 years and it's done 38K faults have been headlamp flasher relay £80 and primary oxygen sensor that is a Denso electronic management (they changed from bosch so Volvo wanted £250 for a replacement (bosch about £25) I...

I moved house last year and my removers moved my workshop stuff on the first day and the house the next. They are built like whippets but unbelievably strong. They just tilted my bandsaw over and carried it 145kg according to axminster. They did the same with my cast iron 12" Rojek saw just...

A couple of choices Tony. The point of a brick plinth besides it's aesthetic quality is to raise the timber structure further away from the ground to prevent splash back from rain giving the bottom a good soaking leading to rot. You could put a course or two on the whole concrete pad and raise...

As Tony says we had a look at one of these in Norwich at a show. My memory of it was of being unimpressed. It is hard to recall now exactly what it was that disappointed I can only think it lacked the quality and heft that the rest of the Jet range is known for. Although this memory does seem at...
