Why is my belt sander electricuting me?

[Digit]

Some of the worst electrical work I've seen John was carried out by pros! Years ago the Regs actually required neutral fuses on incomers, God knows who thought that was a good idea!

Being professional means you get paid for your work.
It doesn't neccessarily mean you're good at it.

 

[Digit]

Yes indeed! Very true.

The rawest apprentice becomes a pro at the moment of picking up the first pay-packet! :wink:

The end of my first week made me an expert in tea making!

I used to have to go and buy the 'Pigeons' milk'! 8)
I couldn't find anyone who sold it, so I bought myself a choc ice! :lol:

And a packet of Woodbines?

No Roy. This was before my RN days. I hadn't been corrupted into the ways of 'men' at the time.

Wow, this got long and off topic! I don't know if I've updated, but I bought a new lead and while the sander now shocks me much less, I think it's still shocking me. Axminster wants to come take it away from me to test, and won't give me one at the same time they take it because it's not a trade machine. I explained I need it for my business, but I'll just have to do without it for a week or so. Argh. They wanted to take it today but no way I'm doing without it for this long weekend perfect for woodworking, they're taking it next Wednesday.
