Thanks Argus I now know that 440v is correct and not a (improbable but possible) typo. BUT I wont be reading your link; I tried reading before asking the question and got totally confused. Again thanks to all. Richard

Sounds more like "you can make it if you try" R

Hi Old.bodger from another O.B Do I read you correct, you say: You need motor start / run capacitors: START CAP'..1x 160 / 200uf (sometimes expressed as mfd) 220/ 275 volts RUN CAP' 1x 15uf rated at 440volts. Why do I need different voltages I.E. (Start) 220+V & (Run) 440v.

Hi Bob...Welcome If I ever dust off my 20yr old Aldi best welder I may need your help. Enjoy the forum. Regards Richard

Hello Martin I was told a long-long time ago by a Cromer guy, great cricketer but bl***y lazy worker that Wisbech was very large & great place to meet girls. Enjoy this friendly and v helpful forum. Regards Richard (AKA quintain)

Thank you both for your inputs and I now know I should be looking for a capacitor not coil and I further know what size I should be looking for and further that the capacitor is not polarised albeit dangerous at high retained voltage. I will do an Amazon and ebay search and otherwise for...

Hi My 1ph two coil motor is just humming at me at start up. If I (v.v carefully with a long piece of timber) quickly turn the large saw blade it is driving on my ancient Dominion Universal woodworker, it kicks in. I attach 2 x pics showing elec' bumph. BTW the motor is at least 30++yrs old when...

Welcome Alison Nice cabinet. I serve on HMS MSDC (making sawdust drinking coffee)

I used 4" (100mm) rigid brown plastic sewer piping, left overs from other work, for most of my extraction runs. I use small amounts of 4" & 3" plastic spiral flexible for awkward bends.

Thank Sandyn I never thought about laptop power supply. I am a hoarder and I just 'dug out' my 15++yr old P106 Toshiba laptop. Power supply is 240v to 15 v with 5a. This may be a little small but it is only gathering dust at present. I'll give it a try. Thanks again, Regards, Richard.

Thanks to every one so far. Clogs: I don't like just throwing things away---pls send some sunshine to NW Cumbria UK DZJ: I do have a couple of v old desktop computers I will think about your idea BUT I am concerned about dust-proofing the PC power source

I have 2-3 cheapo battery drills where the battery is dead, I wish to convert them to UK corded use for bench use purposes I.E, screwdriver, small dia' drilling and such. Has any one successfully done this at low cost and if so how. BTW I am aware that YouTube have examples but I prefer to rely...

Thank you again Jamesc Regards Richard

James Thank you, the moral is of course "there is no such thing as a quick , easy job". BTW I have this morning managed to turn one of the adjuster screws, so the penetrating fluid, my swearing, cup of coffee and a v late brandy last night has partially worked. Again thank you. Regards Richard

Hi, I need to check the 4 rollers on a Dominion Super Elliot Woodworker sliding carriage. Can each roller be removed sideways without taking the sliding carriage of its base. One pic shows the machine details. The second pic shows the roller fitting slotted head screw held in a ??split holding...

Looks like a household gutter down pipe hopper head, not exact but if needed (probably not needed) the much cheaper and readily availble hopper head could be readily adapted.

Hi good people In the next year I will need to consider replacing my 10 yr old Honda CRV. I hear these days about 'leasing' a vehicle and even such as 'rent to buy'. I welcome anyone advice on the best purchase procedures at this time. BTW I am far from a car nut, I am happy as long as it...

I repaired my dad's walking stick when it came to me by using a simple chrome tube that held both parts strongly together. I needed to very slightly reduce the wood diameter to fit into the tube. Araldite and thin strong pins were used holding everything in place. Make it strong make it usable...

I agree I call it a shadow board..Lay it out flat & fit tools in the best location so that you can reach everything when its hung on the wall and draw around each tool with a good marker pen. Use thin strong almost headless nails to hang the tools, this allows easy off and easy replacing when...

Dear everyone Please forgive my gushing start but all of the information you have supplied is invaluable. I now know that an AC motor is the same as an induction motor, nothing that I came across on google search told me that...I thought they were 2 x different animals. I have attached some...
