    Record Full face powered respirator

    The voltages stated on these little plug top chargers is fairly irrelevant TO SOME EXTENT! If the voltage is measured off load It can read very high compared to on load. The design of some is so crude that they often only have half wave rectification which means the voltage reading is incorrect...

    Scheppach ci2500 sawbench

    Further info about trying to align your blade with the mitre slots. Firstly you need to align your blade with itself. In other words, you need to make a decision on whether you're always going to raise your blade to it's final cut position or lower to cut position. The first factor in this I...

    Scheppach ci2500 sawbench

    From my experience yes, it is not adjustable from new and Scheppach UK deny it exists, but all do it, including the bigger model. Your only way of dealing with itis. 1) do not raise the blade to full height which is when it fouls and kicks out of vertical 2) the drift from right to left which...

    what would you do?

    Russell not having an unfair go at you :) just hijacking your response. What can I say, I am neither a microsoft or Norton fan but the pro Mac brigade who bandy about the virus this, that, etc to be honest I don't know where it all comes from, in 15 years of computing I have had one virus and...

    Do I stick my buttons?

    Dom Thanks fo replying. Do I take it I should orientate the grain on the buttons in the same direction as the top? If so I have to cut another six I thought long grain into the groove would be strongest. Alan

    Do I stick my buttons?

    Hi Please refrain from the obvious, you in the back boy! :) I am making a small lamp table in Oak I have two questions 1) I am holding the top on with homemade buttons is it usual to glue the button to the top when screwing it to the top? 2) Given that it's oak and will affect iron screws...

    Your advice please

    I think he is Rob, unless I misunderstand, his question is whether to use the panel whole or reripped inside the frame. Alan

    Preferred way to grind primary bevels?

    Started off with high speed grinder got the knack but hated the messing about and risk once you've blown it that's it, also surprisingly messy. Used the belt sander and preferred that, still some risk albeit a lot less. Treated myself to a Tormek and don't regret it a lot less stress and speed...

    Your advice please

    Just to stimulate further discussion as I am interested in the more experienced views on this, Byron is correct I would have thought by the book given the humidity changes of the room. But If the elm is quartersawn and has shown stability for the last six months under interior conditions I think...

    LASER CUTTING

    I can't really help either, but as a point of interest maybe worth noting that in the model aeroplane business kits made in this country when I last checked were CNC router cut out and in the USA laser cut. It may be that this technology has moved over here for that purpose but with the huge...

    Adams Workshop Build Thread.... got walls & a roof!!!

    I hope you have better ground, because I was going to have to pepper the ground with stakes to get close to the requirement, in fact I was considering having to dig in some serious galvanised sheet/gauze until we settled on the other answer. Alan

    Adams Workshop Build Thread.... got walls & a roof!!!

    This depends on your type of incoming supply, if it's sheath bonded earth at sub station then it is preferable to bring the earth from your main board although the regs do not make this clear by any means, they generally seem to point to earth spike as the only prefered solution . I put a rod in...

    Calling Xcalibur Table Saw owners

    Bob I spent a little while re-reading your question and I think I get the thrust of your problem. My fence is fairly accurate it needs a little shimming under the ally side pieces to allow for a very minor dip (so minor I haven't got round tuit) a piece of lithplate should do it. My advice would...

    Fitting Floppy Wool Insulation

    I just stapled the insultion to the roof and then pulled most of it back i.e. fluffed it up around the staple, held long enough to get the dampproof membrane up. Might still be held now ? Alan

    Cabaxi If you're quick http://tritontools.co.uk/product_info.p ... a2096d8791 Is a pretty good bargain or for the same money you can have the smaller one in a case with all the guide bushes except the 30mm neccessary for worktop jigs £10 extra. I have no affiliation with the company I do own...

    To Guard or not to guard

    Cumbrian I agree with all that you have said about the safety aspect. It's all very well to suggest that there are ways to safely do.. shall we say "unconventional" things with a piece of equipment and if you know what you are doing it's "safe" but how do you know if it's safe within your own...
