Greybeard I couldn't have put it more succinctly that is what drove me to question it because the mask didn't seem to come down far enough. Yes sorry about that, you can imagine I drive my missus nuts with these imponderable questions, she just can't see why I need to know...and I can't see...

Hi Robert Yes they're the bits, I just can't understand what the purpose of the rubber bits is. I really shouldn't question these things but someone designed it that way and I'd like to know why, after all they have happily used bits of velcro to hold most of it together. Sensible people...

Hi Rob Thanks for replying, I am not at all sure we are talking about the same blobs. I think you are referring to the grey "plastic" protrusions that locate the black filter and battery cover I am referring to the square rubber bits on the headband which locates on the forehead and when fitted...

Hi I am not sure if this should of been in "tools" it seemed a general question to me. Those of you who have an airshield ...when you lower the face part there are two tabs on the headband with grey square rubbers on...does your helmet hit the back of the nylon thing the rubber is on, or the...

BB I had this trouble in a previous property. The only way to "reduce" it is a combination of factors. The warmer air is, the more moisture it holds therefore when air is cooled it will lose thatt moisture usually becoming visible on the coolest thing which is your glass. this doesn't mean you...

My guess would be if it is used on a milling machine or similar with cutting fluid, but that is only a guess, not being a "metal bender" cheers Alan

Hi It's not much of a reply being as I am totally inept in the kitchen dept. I do however take an active interest in masterchef if that helps :) I was however in our local dept store the other day and looking at the glass fronted cabinet thet displayed the sharp knives that the punters are...

Paul Sorry I didn't make that very clear did I? They did pay for the return it's just according to the girl on the phone it would seem the correct code words are neccessary e.g. "these are not satisfactory quality" didn't cut any ice. She encouraged me to say they were faulty which I don't...

Hi all Update on the cramps/clamps:- I returned the axminster ones, had to say they were faulty or they wanted to charge £10 for return postage, tried saying that I thought they weren't good enough quality but apparently that didn't matter, so it seems they aren't interested in them being poor...

I though that until I had a go at doing one of them, quite a lot of force is required to twist that bar round past the point where it will bend and then spring back to what would be a reasonable line. Then to try and bend the bow out of it (as I have said hard to photo)bearing in mind the whole...

Thanks for the links Tony I can certainly see where you're coming from. Here's a couple of pics to try and show part of the problem. these hopefully show the twist but to show the bow is harder unless I line up with a straight edge.

Whilst the earth is an inherrent part of the safety of a piece of equipment containing metal it is of little or no value (don't take that to mean it can be left off) in a lot of fault conditions. It is quite possible for up to 13 Amps to be going to earth without tripping anything if there is no...

Tony Fair point Tony, which is why I asked the collective if they considered any of their Besseys to be duff, if the reply was yes then I would be happy I had the same quality for less money. I guess if the bar is bent they cannot be described as parallel therefore it is not possible to get...

Hi Thanks chaps, one and all, I have calmed down a bit now. I appreciate the support for the quality of the genuine Besseys, I will be on the phone tommorrow to Axminster and get it sorted. I just wish they would put in the write up for these clamps "If you think you are going to get a bargain...

Hi All Just ordered some 600mm & 1000mm k body style, but axminster brand, parallel cramps. The finish on the shorter ones is variable but they are OK I suppose. The 4 long ones though are dreadful, not only is the bar on them not straight, but not neccessarily bent in the same direction, they...

It sounds as if the initial problem was caused by freezing ( or an extremely hard life) and the force of expansion is what caused these bolts to shear. if that is the case there is a fair chance that all sorts of cracks may exist that you can't see and you are simply getting water into the...

As already suggested low voltage due to inadequate feed, or starter capacitor failure which I believe is quite common in taiwanese motors, their weak spot. Cheers Alan

Hi I would re-enforce Chris' opinion with Acronis it is very well respected, and I do know someone who has to restore in anger with it and it worked fine. I use it and the interface is dead easy. The same person had previously had a bit of grief with Norton ghost which apparently has taken a...

Martin I repaired one of these some time ago it had a bent shaft. I think I contacted machinemart probably by telephone at the time, they were able to provide all the required spares. Hopefully they still can. I have had one of those springs break on my Record. Is it broken close to the end of...
