My apologies..it’s a 200m (8”) wheel I want x25mm width…the Machine Mart are only 20mm

Hi, can anyone recommend a decent 100mm wire brush for a bench grinder? One that actually has decent amount of bristles instead of looking like a chimney sweeps brush… There is so much rubbish out there

Boeshield T-9…aerosol spray

The conservatory may be octagonal to look at, but I would check the angle of each corner before you make any cuts… Get two plain pieces of card 6”x4” (imperial 😱) put one flat on the floor along one side up to a corner…place the other on top of it along the adjacent side into the same...

Sealey do bench grinders with variable speed…as already mentioned motor power is important…bigger buffing wheels can stall easily if not enough hp…

You’ve entered the minefield of mental health…the backlog for ADHD assessments is incredibly depressing… Parents often unknowingly don’t find out they themselves have lived with their own ADHD all their lives, and it’s not until their own child is assessed and they then realise that they too...

I second the Bosch Cyl 9 multipurpose bits…carbide tips, but special grind to go through most materials….ive used them for exactly what you’re doing….works a treat..prices do vary…a lot!…check Amazon and EBay..

As already mentioned a lot depends on what is under the pavers..if it’s sand, removing individual pavers then leaves the edges of the remaining around the space created unsupported and liable to sink..until you’ve taken one up you won’t know what issues you have..

Halls make excellent step drills, but are very expensive…are you using the correct speed?

I have a wire brush mounted on a bench grinder that has a 1/2” chuck fitted on the rhs..it can fit various wire brushes with 1/4” shanks..works a treat..

Can’t fault CBN wheels apart from the cost….but they do last…

According to the diagram, there is no screw shown, so the hexagon is in the end of the shaft, and as already mentioned, must be there just to hold the shaft maybe for some sort of adjustment. Until you know for sure how the pulley is held on the shaft I wouldn’t attempt any more attempts at...

These from Sealey are probably ok…half price.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390399240421?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=dGsYz2xWT-y&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=t0F9lql0QRC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Also on Amazon…Dewalt have a 14 piece imperial cobalt set 1/16”-3/8” around the same price…The metric set is currently around £38

Found one thanks…

Something fishy going on here!

Dormer and Presto, are really good but expensive If you’re looking for a set of HSS 1-13mm the Dormer sets are excellent…look for recent ones which have a four facet point…much better than the original standard ground point… Be careful of buying no name makes, even though they may say cobalt…...
