    Jet Chip Extractor and Household Power Supply - Tripping

    This hasn't always happened, I don't think, perhaps last year. Any idea how I would verify /fix Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk

    Jet Chip Extractor and Household Power Supply - Tripping

    I have a Jet DC1100A Extractor which is hooked up to workshop power supply, which has a separate fuseboard from rest of the house, although they then go to a common outside fuse box. My power supply is 6kw (which is double the standard amount here in Italy....) When I have been working, say on...

    Contact Adhesive for Kids Bedroom

    White PVA might do it, however it soaks in so much, and the cork is only 3mm.

    Contact Adhesive for Kids Bedroom

    Planning to create 3m x 1m pin boards with cork and plywood substrate, and planning to use this to bond them. https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/661 ... hesive.pdf It is water based, however on the label it says it may cause damage through prolonged exposure... something not written on the...

    Caulking Question - Uneven gap

    Thanks, I have these plastic scrapers, yes. So, I gave it a go, and didn't turn out as I thought. With the tape, the "bead" was way to big, and lifting the tape created a nasty raised line. I found that what I actually need to do is push it right under, so that the joint is basically _under_...

    Caulking Question - Uneven gap

    Just finishing off some bathroom units, and doing the silicon now, which I hate as I never practice enough to be any good. Anyway, I did the first bits which look ok-ish, however the sink has a large gap at the back, and it gets smaller until there is no gap at the front middle. I tend to use...

    Soldering Woes

    My youngest picked up a length of 30mm diameter rebar which I had just cut with an angle grinder, so I think that message is fresh ;-)

    Soldering Woes

    Yes, i wasn't thinking of the fumes, just it gets on fingers, bad generally for environment, you become more aware of these things when you have kids etc...

    Soldering Woes

    Thanks for all the tips so far (pun not intended). I had thought / hoped, that the Stamos station was a decent product, as it's in the "premium" section, and seemed to have good reviews. http://www.expondo.co.uk/stamos-soldering-soldering-station-with-integrated-mains-adapter-6100 The lead...

    Soldering Woes

    Back in the old days, early 90's, I was fairly decent at soldering. More recently, I had an old 40w iron with only one tip, and was struggling to do some finer work, and to even for example tin wires with it, as the solder beaded on the top, and was impossible to tin. I got a 75w soldering...

    Rutlands Covering Tracks

    I think it's ok if you know what you're getting into. I don't mind what they sell at the price point. However if you pull negative reviews, you don't really know what you're buying. Now, if for example they pulled some reviews as "unfair given the price point", but kept, or discarded the...

    Rutlands Covering Tracks

    Wow, you're right. That's the first time I have managed to see a below 4 rating on there. I spent some time trawling through random products trying to find any, and had come to the conclusion there were none. However your products still get an overall rating of 4.2 and 4.8 respectively, maybe...

    Heating the workshop

    I have 3 mates round in my shop for social visits, and to use my tools, who are firemen, and not said anything. I think the risk of igniting dust in normal air is zero, the naked flame from a wood burning stove is more than that from a gas one. On the other hand, the carbon monoxide is not...

    Rutlands Covering Tracks

    That's my point. I've had good deals, but don't hide reviews, send out emails that mislead, and try to remove reviews from "independent" sites.

    Rutlands Covering Tracks

    It was this Equi Divider. http://www.rutlands.co.uk/sp+woodworkin ... ota+dk1084 You pull one end to max distance, and the other end is still completely closed. There's nothing equal about any of it. It's got 2 x 5 star and 1 x 4 star reviews. My 1 star review was never published. It seems...

    Heating the workshop

    I use a portable liquid gas (like paraffin) heater a bit like this. It has a fan, so you get instant warmth, but costs far less than electric. (you do have to plug it in for the timer, and starter etc) I've never worried about the flame and dust, as it really would take a lot of dust in...

    Sanding in radius routed tracks (Finger slots Chopping brd)

    I had some burning with a router earlier, and learned that actually going faster helped. Sounds odd, but you end up with the bit on slow speed, and move fast, so you have many less bit rotations in the same place. Works a treat. However you need to leave a small final pass for it to work...
