Only if the power to the circuit is still on. That's why I have mine running through a circuit isolation switch, but 12volt in an environment where there is water is surely a bit safer than mains voltage. As I said, though, many 12 volt lights don't have individual light switches, some strip...

Hi Simuk It's been a while! The best way to make the sides bend is probably to kerf them, just like the real thing. For a dummy I'd just glue, butt and pin/screw the rest Scrit

I didn't think that LEDs used that much power. The dichroics must do, though, they always seem to run red hot Scrit

It isn't strictly necessary. You could always notch-out the sides of the cabs at the back and hang the cabs on 2.5m long rails like these as opposed to the small hanging brackets normally supplied: These are Woodfit's BC254, but there are other suppliers out there. Because these are long...

No, not the same at all. Drywall screws tend to crack the surface of MFC when you flush them under and they are prone to shearing in MFC because the shanks are too thin. Carcass screws are very specific and you may need to go to a proper ironmongers to get them, but you just pop a start point...

The finish is probably what is called "vinyl wrap" where a very thin sheet of vinyl is sprayed with a thin coating of PUR glue (a form of heat-activated polyurethanse glue, i.e. hot melt) then heat/vacuum stretched and bonded simultaneuosly onto an MDF blank. The MDF blank is normally faced on...

No. Just make sure that you adjust the riving knife. The details of how to do it should be in the manual. Scrit

So then you could be buried at sea with the #55 and it could fulfill it's true destiny - as an anchor! :lol: :wink: I'll get me coat. Taxi!!! Scrit

Hi Joe OK, but your structure looks more like it would need to be delivered in two parts and then assembled on site. What about having a base onto which H-section uprights fit and the panels then slide in just like a garden fence? Providing there's a couple of braces beneath the top it should...

Dado heads at under 30cm? :twisted:

I know where there's a local firm up in Accrington that do: Olympic Fixing Products Ltd Unit 3, Laneside, Metcalf Drive Altham Industrial Estate Accrington Lancashire BB5 5TU Tel: 01282 778923 They make brass #1 (CSK head screws), steel #1s, round heads and some pan heads, too. But they...

Both and a bit more, Bob. The stacked dado set is considered dangerous in the main because it is very difficult to guard adequately on most saws. The over-riding factor is that in the EU we have a slew of common (since the 1994) safety legislation which in the main applies to equipment in...

Not since the early 1980s when GKN shed the old Nettlefolds woodworking screws part of the business. Scrit

Well, I'll admit to having a slightly different one. The one I showed was about as cheap as they get. I have this orange one (£11.60 + the dreaded): Somewhere at the top or side of that pipe cutter there will be a little botton to release the jaws. Stick the open jaws around a pipe, make sure...

A minor note of caution here. There's a limit to how long a piece you can effectively handle on a sliding table before the unsupported weight causes the work to cantilever around the outboard edge of the sliding table. The actual length varies from saw to saw, though, and sheet stock is far more...

They last as long as they do..... but the better ones do last longer. Look for Klingspor, Norton or Mirka belts and you'll find they are a lot more durable. I've used Klingspor for a few years and they last well. What you might like to try is running the belt against a crepe cleaner from time...

I agree with others that you are probably getting near the limit. The issue isn't so much the drop required to handle the solids, it's the height of the stand pipe above the P-trap in the waste outfall you'll need to ensure that the dishwasher and washing machine don't back up overflow the pipe...

How they fit depends on what they are. Most washers, dryers and dish washers just slot into a 450mm, 500mm or 600mm gap between cabs and have the door hung on special hinges or fittings. This means you'll need a 35mm hinge boring bit either for the router (Wealden Tools) or in a drill press -...

Hi Sam If you haven't already done it I'd suggest dry mounting your artwork onto something like a sheet of hardboard or the like and just using a single layer of acrylic at the front as two layers of acrylic 50 in square will probably belly out in the middle and won't support the art work at...

Hopefully not simultaneously........ :lol: Just remember what Groucho Marx said, "You're only as old as the woman you feel....." Scrit
