Had a go at measuring/scaling but couldn't figure it out accurately, so have emailed the planning officer and development control in any event on the basis I had done so, and the chimney position confirms, and will let them confirm or tell me otherwise ! They will likely say so what or similar...

Tormek not torment although quite apt !!! Sent from my SM-A530F using Tapatalk

Pro Edge all day long for me too :) My torment was sold shortly after to someone with a lot more patience than me who didn't mind water all over his workshop ! :D Sent from my SM-A530F using Tapatalk

Thanks Mike. I'm not sure how to go about matching the scales and measuring without the actual original drawings, but probably being a bit slow ! I can imagine the planners not caring, but it makes a difference to us, hence trying to get a better feel of whether we are technically correct in...

Hi Mike, thanks for the response. Oddly, there is an existing close boarded fence boundary in place (that we own), so not sure why the developer has measured between the properties instead. Below are two bits of the application drawings, the first showing the plan view of the two properties...

Question for those familiar with building works and planning permissions please. Next door has approved plans to build a new house alongside ours on the next door plot. The approved plans show a separation distance of 7.8m building to building, as stated and drawn on the site layout plan which...

This is what I used recently https://www.roofingsuperstore.co.uk/pro ... qgEALw_wcB Available elsewhere and in different thicknesses. Not as good a heat insulator as celotex and similar, but much better for sound and it still does give very worthwhile heat insulation nonetheless. Celotex and...

Worth checking for hole(s) in the hose and/or making sure it is well sealed to the machines ?

Just to mention that rockwool type products will give some benefit, but there are specific types also that are used for acoustic insulation rather than just heat insulation (although that is a benefit also). Can't recall the details but I used some acoustic stuff in my recent workshop refurb'...

Don't worry about the bore size, just lie the grinder on it's side and centre the new wheel on the spindle by eye, then tighten up the clamping washers to hold it in place, do a final true up with devil stone or dresser after. It won't have the same stresses as a high speed grinder so the...

Good to meet you Alistair, hope you get some turning time in soon :) Cheers, Paul

Will do, with you in a minute :)

As mentioned, it takes 4" hose too, so usable for chip extraction although if large volumes like with a planer/thicknesser for example you probably would want a twin motor version or a low pressure high volume chip extractor. I've used this one on the bandsaw mainly, also on power tools and...

It has a good level of filtration, using the standard record pleated paper cartridge filter and paper filter over that too. It's the same system of filters that I think they still use on many models so a look at their specs on their site might give you more quantitative information. I would do...

It's not a current model so unlikely to find much on it, but all you need to know really is in the ad and the picture of the specs' plate ? I'll obviously be happy to try and answer any questions though :) Having said that, I am looking for collection though rather than the hassle of trying to...

Not sure if that's the correct name ! Pop it on top of a dustbin or other drum and connect up to your dust/chip extractor and then onwards to the shavings producing machinery, the heavier chips and shavings fall to the bottom of the drum and only the finer dust gets through to your extractor...

1000 watt single motor, with fine cartridge filter and wheeled stand, takes 4" hose or normal vacuum hose, works fine but I have more extractors than I need and have room for ! £70 please, cash on collection from Basingstoke, Hampshire, near J6/J7 M3.

I recently sorted out the floor on my new workshop, sealed the concrete with Everbuild sealer to keep dust down and then added a few hard rubber interlocking tiles, each about 90cm square, where needed. Works very well, these are much better than the cheap foam tiles, being easier to sweep...
