Thanks for the offer of help DW. I'll take some pictures later on and put them on my laptop and see how I go. I'll pm my no. if I have any trouble. cheers, jon.

There's a creamy product called redy strip that you spread on and leave for a few hours, the paint will just fall away with the hardened paste to leave just the wood underneath. It's the stuff that was advertised on t.v a while back and I haven't used it myself but a freind has assured me that...

Thanks for the help you gave Bob, is it no suprise to you that it would still trip a 16amp breaker? even if it was a class C one? jon.

Hello, It's finally done! I had the 16 amp class C breaker fitted and guess what....... it only went and tripped again as soon as it was switched on, not to worry said the spark, stick a 20amp in and bingo, my Unisaw is a runner and it has one hell of a kick on start up as well. When I work out...

Hi, I use a lot of formica/laminate at work and can say that the backing sheets are quite suitable for the table top as long as you get get a nice smooth and even spread of contact adhesive. You must ensure that there is no foreign matter on either the top or laminate sheet as this will project...

The variable speed dial can be the cause of this. Not only on the Hitachi either. jonathan.

I'm afraid it's what I suspected, it's a copy of a makita and even the stickers are of poor standard. I once replied to an advert for a (so-called) Makita sliding mitre saw and it also turned out to be a counterfeit, a very good one though and would have fooled anyone who diddn't know what a...

Hello Aisuru, I'd just like to know who the secret employer is!!!! jon.

I also have two of the li-ion Makita 18v impact drivers and use them for everything. You need a good selection of hex bits like the snappy range for instance because there's no chuck,just a hex holder and once you get used to the speed and trigger sensitivity, it's a really controllable tool...

Mike, Are you absolutely certain that it's a Makita, i've see one before that looks identical to the 3612 but is a totally different make, I think it had a name called rig-master or something! jon.

Thanks for the review, i've been considering letting my boss know about the carbide tipped blades for a while. jon.

Hello, back again and after a chat to the electrical engineer who does various bits for us at work, he's gonna come over one day in the week and make sure it's done correctly. He say's if I fit the 16amp socket and an isolator to the wall where I want them, he'll come and just connect it for...

Thanks, I'm off to get some tea now but thanks again for the help, i've learnt an awfull lot from you over this problem and will have hopefully resolved the situation. Fingers crossed for the morning and i'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for your time, JONATHAN.

And if I was using the wrong breaker, is there any possibility of damage to the machine motor? I dont want to turn the electric off tonight because we are all watching T.V and cooking the tea but i'll have a go first thing in the morning and see if it's all systems go. But I think i'll still...

The thing that is worrying me is, can I end up doing any damage to the existing supply which would result in Having to get a sparky out to repair my mistake.

Thanks again for your help Davy and in worst case senario if the Ze was to be higher, then what would happen?

Yes Davy, the form is identical to the schedule of test results one.

Thanks again for your advice Davy, I'm not needing to use the saw immedietly so I wont fit it just for the sake of trying. I'll get the hager breaker and ask the spark to come and have a go but how confident are you that the problem has been with using a standard class B and not the motor rated...

I'm going to have another chat with the electrician who does all of our wiring at work and see if he'll come and fit it all correctly and in the meantime, order the same breaker as the hager one that matches all the others in the C/U. For the sake of four quid I think it might be best. (and it...

Davy, the sheet I have looks nothing like the one shown, it's a photo copied chart listed as form WR4 and called installation schedule (including test results). If I isolate the C/U and fit the breaker, can I do any harm to anything or do you think the 16amp class C 10kA breaker will be OK?
