I saw lots of youtube videos of jigs like that, however they worked better for thicker wire and solid core. Stranded wire tends to get a bit shredded by the process. I've got some grip and strip cutters Which work ok if I work my way along, however pulling small pieces of insulation along...

We've moved on from stripping wire, to why I want it ;-) So, here's some (of many) cases that I have. 4m flexi hose, with ducting at the end, for a "gulper" vac for the floor, and also for lathe. 3m flexi hose running to P/T 1m flexi hose running to TS All coming from ali blast gates, which...

If I wrap around one end of the plastic ducting or hose, I still get shocks along the rest. The conductor has to be close enough for the static, which forms over the entire surface of the tube / pipe, to manage to jump to the earthing conductor. The further away it is, the bigger the charge...

I thought about burning the plastic off, however would think that to get that mass burned, the copper would melt. Regards knifing it, as it's twisted wire, would I not end up shredding the wire into small sections? I could not find any bare copper that was not about 10x the price. It will...

Even along that kind of length? I can imagine it gets really twisted at one end, and not at the other. Will give it a shot!

I've got 60m of threaded stranded twisted speaker cable I'd like to strip. I have tried using a knife blade to skim and then pull out the wire, however it catches the wire and that makes it go all knotty. That seems to be the technique most YT videos show, however they are all for scrappers...

OK then, surprised you need that much, but hey, live and learn!

In the last couple of years I've gone from a small shed making some toys, to large workshop making kitchens, stairs, workbenches and other furniture, so I had a rapid increase in clamps in a short time. I have heard from Pros that too much clamping pressure simply squeezes the glue out, deforms...

Oh I do have a lot of plastic duct, the 2.5" system is all plastic, and the 4m underground pipe for the 4" is plastic, plus lots of plastic connectors... Ah wait, you mean spiral wound like the metal ducting... no I mean the flexible plastic pipe that has a spiral of wire in it... I got my...

I have 10 degrees and 28% humidity in workshop, so definitely adds to it. My 2.5" system is great with the vac, and with the same airflow from a "near stall" chip collector, I won't need to faff about with hooking the vac up all the time. I have always noticed that it attracted dust, and...

Thanks, I tried a few readings yesterday on grounding. I found that with the multimeter set to "beep connection" mode, I had a connection between the motor on my drill press and the motor on my bandsaw. I had none on the tables of those tools, and thought I had none on my planer and TS too...

I've been meaning to get one for ages, as my TS cabinet is FULL of fine chipboard dust despite weekly cleans. The planer clogs up the pipes all the time, and generally my vac is just not up to it. I have a soil pipe which I secured to the rough floor before they poured the concrete for the...

Sorry if I am hijacking the post, however seemed a good a place as any! I tested all parts of my shop vac system and got the following results: The Makita 440A vac is rated as 3.5 m3/m (123 cfm) Vac with no filter / bag runs at 17m/s with a 6cm diameter outlet, so 181 m3/h or 107 cfm (I will...

Thanks Siggy, that's what I guessed, reading the speed "in line" without sealing hte gap, and of course multiplying out by the area I am taking the measurement from. I do have a flow setting, however I find it easier to just measure speed. Then I can write in the speed and diameter in cm, in...

question about measuring with anemometer, if I put it on a 6cm pipe, the fan size of the anemometer covers if perfectly, so I can measure velocity, and flow. If I put it into the airflow of a 10cm pipe I get one reading, and if I cover the gap with my had of course it goes faster, however...

I did 2 a-levels in maths, and one in physics, and I'm scratching my head at your post! I'll try to read it again after a beer...

ok, sounds like you'll have a good set up at the end, do you really take that beautiful incra on site? Otherwise not sure where you'd use it!

Lucky fella! Should be fine, you can see here: http://incra.com/miter_gauges-miter1000hd.html that it's fitted into a t-slot. If you have that mitre guage, what TS do you have now if you don't mind me asking?

I can't find my hardness tester ;-) It was no problem to cut with angle grinder or large hacksaw. What I did, as I had to cut a little bit away for sliding table, was to cut with angle grinder and then smooth it out and take off the plastic cap from the piece i'd cut to the new end. You can't...
