9mm converts to 23/64ths in or 0.354 inch. So only 1/64th short of 3/8ths. I would be looking for a 3/8ths UNC bolt as likely to be available in the UK. M9 is something I also have never seen in my 72 yrs and should be considered a bit of an oddity. Try asking Dieter Schmidt in Germany...

The pace of business is slowing so I have just swapped cars with one of my technicians...my Mercedes S for his Tesla 3. Plan is to use it for around a month including some long journeys eg 380 miles so I can begin to understand what the impact of charging is to me and the team. That is in...

Ask Felder. Seriously. My combo a Felder BF required a 5mx5m space around it. Thats to be able to operate it with timber infeeds and outfeeds. So your 7mx5m space will only have a free 2mx5m space at the back. If you have the space then combos are fine and dandy. If you are tight on...

Musicman, I thought I would bring a little amusement into your life. My wife has bought herself a Nissan Leaf; gave me a lecture on "green things" and has told me to get a home charger ordered..asap. Thank god delivery is some time in the New Year. I'm still laughing at the irony of it...

Lets see last post was August....any updates. ?

I've been wondering what the Gov'mt should do...I mean really useful actions not ban petrol/diesel by 2030. Step one would be to get the EV industry people to standardise on battery type, shape and fitting as well as all the associated electronic control gubbins. Once standardised in sizes...

I think that going from 112mm down to about 62mm (2.5inch) will throttle the suction and you will find that it will be less useful than expected. It should be possible to get hold of some metal or plastic pipe and get it too fit.

Musicman, Interesting that as of last week we have ALL migrated to Google Meets and have convinced more than 50% of clients to use this as well. Thew rest of them seem to prefer voice to voice contact. We would now use almost any video conferencing software if needed to as just treat it...

Looking at the probable issues I would find and call/visit any other similar businesses within 50 miles to see what they do re Supervisors and of course enquire re pay and benefits. Your problem is to establish a bench mark pay rate to work from/with. This forum is unlikely to come up with...

Used the Notify Me tab as well but still out of stock today and yesterday

Just checked and Out of Stock.

Billstano1 has indicated the right approach. PU wheels are mostly unsuitable for garages as the PU is too soft and will take a set. Rubber wheels are unsuitable as again they take a set and being soft will deform or rip Nylon wheels are in the main hard and do not take a set or deform and will...

Droogs, Admin is MS based. Development and Technicians are UNIX based. Our IT is provided by an external group to a small 3 person internal team. So far we have not had too many inter OS problems....yet. It just seems that for Admin the relative richness of programs available works well...

Yes to the Tesla charging network as it is the best developed along our lines of travel. My technician will fund it via his credit card and make weekly claims for reimbursement so we can track costs. After this next 6 months are over we will consider doing a "non charging network" test...

I'm going to have to step back soon as 7 day weeks at 14-16 hrs a day just are too much at my age. I have been surprised that I have kept going. Will try a two week holiday in October. Like you we have found that the people still working from home are very productive and have also been...

Its a bit of a funny deal. Caused I think because all car sales are 80% less than last year. I have it on a 6 month lease. Its an ex demonstrator, ex dealer company car with 19,000 miles on the clock. The lease is Ok and not too expensive. The car has gone to one of our best...

https://www.youtube.com/user/watersandacland/videos I just found this location and am somewhat impressed with the design and resolution of many of the things they make. Worth a look if you have not seen this yet.

Its been a while since this thread has been updated. Here is a summary of what is happening from my business perspective re driving and Ev's. The business has survived.....just about. Covid-19 has come close to breaking us. The issue is as always cash flow, bloody banks, slow payers...

I have only just decided to respond as I feel I will get a negative response but here goes. I was faced with making a veneered 26 ft long x 5ft wide table recently. About 3 months before starting I was thinking about clamps and a quick count showed that I might be 30 clamps short of what was...

I have some of the router guides in the OK original post. They cost £19.99 from ebay. Rutland price is£39.99 so a doubling of price I paid which I assume included a healthy profit. Bit of a top off.
