As already said very strange. Still better than nothing. Maybe Woodworker's Workshop will follow suit ... But I won't hold my breath! Cheers Gidon

Big - what did you go for? Having looked into this a lot recently - a turbine based HVLP system (if that's what you've gone for) doesn't necessarily do a better job than a compressor driven HVLP system. The main advantage is portability. But the big advantage of compressor driven HVLP spraying...

Big I bought that compressor for spraying. I think it's up to it - although as mentioned you may find the pump running constantly. You can get 60 foot hoses cheaply so the height of your house is probably not a problem. I have little experience of spraying (only just getting into it) and have no...

Got it on my Sky box - will check it out later. Cheers Gidon

Dave No I would never spend that sort of money either! The nailer was less than half that price in the states! You can certainly get cheaper framing nailers - Ebay have some Silverline ones for £80 odd - not full round head but that's not important really. (I just preferred the aesthetics of...

Dave I can recommend this 3HP SIP compressor: It will handle nailing jobs without too much stop starting. Plus it can handle spraying and lower rated sanding too (Free Air Displacement quoted as 10.5 CFM - so match your tool to this). It also has two outputs - I find this quite handy - I have...

In the catalogue - on one page it has the machine mart ones - and the opposite page it says "PCL air technology". I don't have the catalogue to hand and the website doesn't make it clear as far as I can tell. But in the shop the better ones have "PCL air tech" and "made in England" stamped on...

Machine Mart also do the genuine PCL stuff made in England for a little more money. Cheers Gidon

Dan That sounds really nasty - hope they can manage a good repair. All the best Gidon

Sounds faulty - mine works fine. Mr Wixey is very helpful if you e-mail him. Cheers Gidon

Haven't seen Alf post for a while but pretty sure she had some ... Couldn try pm'ing her. Cheers Gidon

Thanks Digit - yes I have that problem - I can only run the p/t'er on it's own. If the heater or table saw is switched on it trips the switch on the main fuse box in the house. And now I guess the compressor. Not a biggy for me. Anyhow I've now got the SIP compressor. It has very slightly higher...

Ikea do decent metal legs (CAPITA I think) quite reasonably. Cheers Gidon

OK thanks Digit - much appreciated. So can that wire just be connected to a fuse box in my shed then? Maybe I should wait and see if this new compressor works without any workarounds! Cheers Gidon

Thanks Digit The cable's 10mm wide, about 4mm thick. I have had an electrician check it out once - he seemed to think it was ok - but that the cable should be replaced with armoured cable. Having said that that electrician turned out to be a bit hopeless to be honest. I'm planning to knock the...

Seems a good price! http://www.boots.com/shop/product_detai ... id=1049917 Fuji s9500 £250 http://www.boots.com/shop/product_detai ... id=1047582 Fuji A610 £30! Well spotted Andy - luckily don't think I need anything (but when has that stopped me!) Cheers Gidon

Olly - thanks - I found those too but they are 20mm no the normal 25mm. Thanks mailee - that's a fancy spray gun. I've bought a second hand Sata RP but having some troubles with it at the minute - Ebay - arghh! I'm sending the Axminster compressor back and have ordered the SIP version- so we'll...

Jon - a conversion gun is a low pressure gun that fits to a compressor. The wiring for the cooker box to a 20a MCB - does that have to come off the main fuse box? Or can that just be done in the shed of the exisitng wiring? I really need to get some knowledge on electrics! The part p has made me...

Digit - tried that - thanks. Didn't work (the clouting that is). Well i use the compressor for other things too - the 3HP ideally gives me the ability to do spraying without having to buy another box :). Mailee - interesting - thanks. There's a SIP machine too which looks similiar...

Thanks Roy - anyway I can check the unloader? Maybe the ones reported not to work just have faulty unloaders? Could the cold weather be a problem? I'm leaving it running just now with the air coming straight out and will see if I still have the same problem. Cheers Gidon
