    Updgrading motor on Kity 619 saw - worth it?

    Lots of "it depends on " here. The type of motor mount and space will govern what increase in power you can acheive if you find out what the mount spec and frame is you may be able to put a slightly longer motor in and inrease the power and maybe a highest efficiency model. If you put a 3 phase...

    I should add I have bought consumables because having to trip to specsavers is more hassle. I am trying through an "access to work" government program to get waterproof ones as I work outside but it's probably a lottery. I also find I now have to turn down my aids for the tv instead of turning...

    Not sure if it helps anyone but I have had my Bernafon NHS aids for 3 weeks. They blue tooth to a Bernafon app. I have an Andoid phone so does not support streaming. No support from specsavers so researched and found Connevans who supply all consumables and in my case a device called a...

    Hall Effect

    The second image is how I have one set up on my metal machining lathe. Edit: sorry just seen the magnet in th image I think you will struggle with the north south poles of the magnet so my thoughts are no. However if you swap the small round magnet for a short bar magnet (flat oblong) it might work.

    Tormke t-4 vs 'other makes'?

    This is a bugbear of mine, over aggressive sharpening commercially. I have had sawblade come back after one sharpening and they are already into the plate material. Should be able to get many more sharpens.

    3 piece loft ladder, how to lubricate?

    1) Of course there is a cost but whether it makes sense is the individuals decision. 2) it's cantilevered spring to balance the weight unlike the snaggy aluminium things 3)terminology when I said width I suppose I should have said depth front to back. It was only an idea trying to help

    3 piece loft ladder, how to lubricate?

    Not trying to be clever here, but replace it with a wooden folding one. I did, and although I don't go up often when I do it's a much better experience and as I get older I might manage a few more years getting up there with the wider treads. The whole getting it down thing is much better too.

    Why can't I flatten the back of my mortice chisel?

    For what it's worth my observations are:- Once the chisel has rounded slightly you won't be able to hold it flat and it will roll. The narrower a chisel is the more likely it will roll, the thicker the chisel the harder it will be to maintain consistent central pressure again causing roll. Wet...

    On a seprate note it seems to be worth understanding how different types of aid work. I have shockz open fit headphones for music https://uk.shokz.com/products/openfit and wear them whilst cycling and walking as I can hear the real world as well. Bonus they fit and can wear all day. The point is...

    Retirement workshop - which machines to buy?

    "I would upgrade your table saw to a sliding table capable of reducing down 4 x8 sheets .it will do 90% of cutting wood for a DIY er" I agree a sliding table saw is nice, but one big enough to lift 8x4 onto is very large and you need a huge amount of space around it. Also adhb is talking about...

    Royal Mail - complete ban on bladed items from 22nd April

    Confirmation that the world hs indeed gone mad tackling "the problem" from the wrong end, still as long as a politician can get a soundbite out of it that will be alright. I've carried a pocket knife for 50 years without stabbing more than a cardboard box but run the risk of being criminalised...
