    Steel strips from plate?

    I don’t enjoy metalwork much, but when I have to I’ve used this place.. they do ‘free unlimited cutting’, delivery, and have been accurate enough for me! https://www.themetalstore.co.uk/products/1-5mm-thick-mild-steel-sheet

    A tape or similar to cover something on mdf

    Gorilla tape? It’s black and I’ve never seen it come off anything voluntarily. Just cut it nice or you can get loose threads that are white-ish..

    Triton Router - TR0001 - Can you over tighten the collet??

    The only thing that should prevent starting is the physical lock on the switch when swapping the bit. There’s no sensor or magic, it sounds broken. Trying so hard to not ‘over tighten’ sounds like a recipe for a bit in the face…. When I got my Triton it was my first router, I didn’t fully...

    Dovetail jig opinions

    I have a dovetail jig that my late father bought, and put in his shed. I emptied his shed and it’s now in my garage. I don’t believe it was ever used! Had some rust spots but I cleaned it up some, it’s 300mm, comes with various template sizes and a cutter. Happy to take offers on it...

    Festool registration issue

    If you didn’t upload a pic the form wouldn’t have valdated so it wouldn’t allow you to continue. That said, I did two last week, it did seem a bit flakey reporting the number as invalid when I submitted one, and a simple back button and resubmit made it work!

    Rotex 90 Slat Sanding Pad - Why this shape?

    Exactly, you can do the same rotation thing on both (well, with the sandpaper only on the slat sander - paper and pad on the ‘standard’ delta. But there’s more velcro area on the slat one….

    Rotex 90 Slat Sanding Pad - Why this shape?

    I have a Rotex, with the slat sanding pad I purchased to reach some awkward areas... it does this well. However - the shape of the 'hook and loop' section is larger than the v93 sandpaper - there's a rectangular extension towards the rear of the pad. A quick google didn't reveal that there was...

    Peoples views on the bay

    I've been selling on eBay on and off for as long as I can remember... - I always list 'fixed price'/'buy it now' with 'accept offers' set to something pretty low just to filter out the low-ballers and time wasters.. - If you do an auction, make sure they end at a time when people will be sat...

    Tarting Up Ceiling Beams

    Thanks all for the suggestions! I don’t really fancy painting them, it’s possible that’s the fashion again but I’m not so inclined to follow fashion on soemthing that’ll hopefully be as I leave it at the end of this process until I can’t focus my eyes on it anymore! So I suspect variations of...

    Tarting Up Ceiling Beams

    I don’t mind the squareness, tbf an alternative did not cross my mind! What would be a more pleasing shape? Just softened edges or something more arty?

    Tarting Up Ceiling Beams

    Hi All Our house is a converted barn with exposed beams throughout all the rooms upstairs. Due to the layout of the ceiling, much of the room is angled ceiling with beams, so if they aren't at eye-level you are most likely about to crack your head on them.... so they are quite in-your-face...

    Fitting a soft start module to Dewalt DW745 table saw

    So I finally got this installed yesterday. i found this video which was very clear and matched by dw7485 wiring and amazon soft start module perfectly: Interestingly my soft start module appeared to be the same, but the black plastic side of the body was mounted the wrong way round, so the A...

    Middle of Lidl

    I had a similar one - different brand, bought on the internet which had similar issues. Could not get the saw to transition smoothly. I measured the sections of the extrusions (across, i.e. to see how wide the ‘rail’ that the saw mounts on was, and how high etc) with a set of calipers and could...

    Cappuccino machine

    I got a Sage Barista Express, which is an excellent small machine with steam wand. Has a grinder on top that fits a standard bag o’ beans perfectly with a tupperware style lid to keep it fresh. Also has a good grinder built in, and comes with baskets for fresh ground as well as pre-ground (aka...
