    Buying from Europe

    That's not possible and never was. A fallacy that politicians should have known and that anyone still peddles this nonsense demonstrates they don't understand what the EU is and how it works.

    Buying from Europe

    They were deselected and kicked out because they wanted a reasonable deal, not brexit at any price. Only the compliant were allowed to be put up for selection.

    Buying from Europe

    It's pretty well documented now; in two words misinformation and ignorance. Neither major party is prepared to admit it was wrong and is being carried out in the worst possible way, so no offer to resolve it. If your MP is currently a tory it would be a waste time as all the reasonable tories...

    THE FOURTH OF JULY

    Indeed. It was disgraceful to let Sunak talk over Starmer so often with no opportunity for redress. Starmer seemed to be the one respecting the structure of the debate and expecting to be allowed to answer accusations, as he would in a court, but that wasn't too be. I hope he'll be less...

    Considering dipping toe into 3d printing so what do you think of this one?

    I'll add to my post above, now with two months experience of owning the CR10SE. Whilst I have managed to make some very good parts with the printer, I've also wasted a huge amount of time trying to define and resolve faults with the machine. Whilst it seemed there was a lot of help and support...

    Are EV's good value? Apparently not!

    No. When coal is mined it doesn't leave a void, the seam collapses as soon as it's unsupported as the mechanical props move forward. There are potential uses for other types of disused mines, but generally it's for geothermal power.

    Considering dipping toe into 3d printing so what do you think of this one?

    As someone who has spent the last few years looking into this and finally clicked ‘BUY’ before Easter, here’s my thoughts having had a Creality CR10SE delivered yesterday and spent the last 24hrs printing like mad; There’s broadly three issues with 3D printing/CNC. 1 Design: Unless you’re just...

    Rutlands Warning!

    You don't seriously expect a big player like JL to inspect every single item they sell.

    Banggood, VAT, import duties

    I wouldn't worry much, I've not read of any non-deliveries via Banggood yet. It might take a little longer some previous experiences due to some shipping avoiding the Suez canal at the moment though.

    Banggood, VAT, import duties

    Best of luck getting a VAT receipt out of the system, but otherwise a decent way to get Chinese kit reliably without any added costs. Note the delivery times aren't quick, but everything I've ordered has arrived earlier than promised.

    parkside pillar drill

    I assume this is one of those tricks eBay dealers use to keep a listing open without having to pay repeat fees. When they sell out, increase the price to something no one will pay, but listing continues for free until they get stock back in.

    Yes its a chisel but whats it for and called?

    I don't think it's a chisel at all, there's no cutting edge. I'd suggest it's a pry for removing tacks etc when re-upholstering. I'm sure I've seen something similar in an upholstery workshop.

    Saw stop ( USA )

    For the hard of understanding it means; "You've just written something that proves you don't understand what you're talking about." Not for the first time, sadly it's unlikely to be the last time either :-(

    Saw stop ( USA )

    Wow, that from you ? It ought to be embarrassing to be called out so often in a thread

    Saw stop ( USA )

    Please have the courtesy to comment on what I wrote, not your prejudices; "braking assist technology" The key word in my comment was 'assist' things like emergency brake assist, Smart City Brake Support, anti lock brakes etc.

    Say something that says you've never driven a modern car with brake assist technology......

    Saw stop ( USA )

    Do you think that happens more widely ? Do people drive assuming that the braking assist technology will stop them having a crash etc ? For that matter would people really trust the technology of saw stop enough to take serious risks ?
