We bought a Bosch, and are very pleased, but you do have to be careful, if you look at the door you can find the stamp saying where it's made and it's only the more expensive ones that are made in Germany, I can't recall offhand where the cheaper lower model is made but I don't think it was...

I think something is wrong here, I thought one of the guiding principals of this forum was to not even let yourself use your tools nevermind anyone else :? Like using those old Stanleys, so no dust or fingerprints on the Lie Nielsens. Once had a colleague at work ask to borrow my...

Hi I like what you've done, you must be feeling very pleased and with good reason, look forward to your next project. Cheers Alan

Ian I could well be wrong here as I have lent my regs book out to someone, but don't all sockets feeds have to be covered by 30mA protection in an outbuilding/garage at least in this instance of a new install? If the installation could be classed as part of the house itself it may be possible...

Hi Spanky & welcome Shivers I can't believe I just sat and went thro' your calculations and couldn't fault it ...take a v.good and put it in the box. must get a life, must get a life, repeat, repeat Alan

Steve Warning more advice coming take cover:- please make sure your flex cable is highly rated enough and not the sort to run xmas tree lights, if it is indeed some you happen to have laying around. I found that scraping the most of the gunge that you can, off with an old credit card will save...

What can I say I thought she could do it on her own ...but NO she insisted I help.... Tsk women hey? Perhaps if it was a gentle trickle down the drive with help from a strange man and virtually rolled into the garage on it's own... she would have managed. :roll: Name withheld to protect the...

The most I got was a tail lift and a coolie down the drive, the rest was down to me and the missus, all 5' of her. I built a trolley and gradually lifted each side of the crate onto bits of wood increasing the height each side a bit at a time using a length of 3x2 to lever until I got the...

G ster Please try this experiment and it may give you an idea how to get the best out of your saw. set your blade to the mid to three quarter height travel....lay a sheet of a4 paper one edge parallel to your blade about 1mm away from it (put a weight on the paper). Now just gently raise or...

Nick I don't know if it's the best but I used Polythene dpc followed by 10mm thick fibre board as put under laminate floor followed by moisture resistant 8x2 T&G flooring chipboard. It's warm comfortable with a slight spring but will support weight all over the surfaceg and works out to a...

9fingers Interesting that you should find that, I am fairly sure Philly has found the same as me as I seem to recall some reply to Waka about using 9" blades and so it didn't matter. No worries as you say Steve could find being a later one it has been left out, maybe Philly willl be along to...

Steve As mentioned here are the measurements of the steel required 50x50 box section 3mm thick as will need to be drilled and tapped. 50x50 angle 5mm thick this is the front rail which the box section sits on 40x40 angle which is the rear rail that the back of the fence sits on. Hope that's of...

Steve I am bogged down at the moment or I would go and measure again, but be assured they are all off the shelf standard dimensions for square box section and two angles, what is annoying is I only just threw out the piece of paper with dimensions on that I carried for 3 months in my wallet...

Hi Some thoughts, I have the 806 I found that my extension tables fitted best with the holes to the right side and "assumed" they were for bolting further panels in place for a table between the rails, also if a sliding table is fitted isn't the left extension removed? Also be prepared to put...

Hi Or you may be lucky and get this http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?cri ... FC&DOY=5m1 The 450w on promotion at £24.99 I bought one and it is indeed very quiet and seems to do the job nicely. you can check to see if your local maplin has one. Cheers Alan

Hi Just to support Byrons knowledge. My mum has worn varifocals for years and had a new set made with a new frame. She had all sorts of problems tripping up etc. She went back and "someone" adjusted them to "fit" and they were all bent out of shape nose piece overflared etc. She went back again...

Hi I don't think the planer blade sharpening jig works with the lesser spec model ...there may be others, happy to be corrected of course :-) Cheers Alan

Hi Trev Thanks for the kind words, hope things go well for you now you're retired. Cheers Alan

Hi http://www.rockinghorse.co.uk/cgi/shop/ ... 7291-10539 I am fairly sure this is the one I had when I built my rocking horse, 4" dia.(have a feeling it's the ashley isles one) I still have it and it does work very well for touching up tools, followed by the cotton mop loaded with polishing...

As near as instant you could get from any speed I would say but I have not compared. I think if you were to buy the two drills with the three batts I would be very surprised if you were dissappointed I drove a 3" 10 without snapping straight in and out all the way with the 6980 into some old...
