That's thoughtful of you. At least one and hopefully 5 or more... For safety , 600mm is probably a better length. I'm in Kent, BTW. I rang probably 8 yards today with no joy. These are to repair "deep roofs" - a standard British National roof is about 4" deep but if you have a feeder on the...

I'm after a few lengths of 12.5 x 150 x 500 mm (min finished in each dimension) WRC to repair some beehives. I really don't want to joint two 75mm bits etc as beehives are weathered heavily (being outdoors 24/7/365) and joints always give and leak eventually. I have a PT and good table &...

To be completely fair, Linux (in the true sense of just the kernel) and GIT were created by the same person (*). Plus, Tensorflow was created by Google as an internal tool and then open-sourced. These projects (and many others) have, in turn, created huge ecosystems of businesses with well paid...

No one?

I need new blades for my HC 260 and was considering a carbide pair, but they are £270 + a replacement clamp at £55, i.e. around £325 in total... Then I noticed these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003505202911.html Spiral cutter head replacement for an HC 260 with 3 (or maybe 4?) rows of...

This raid was on a site very close to us (about 3 miles away). It was long overdue according to folk in Cranbrook. There are many more photos of what was found there - quite shocking. Below is only part of it. FWIW, we've always found the police around here to be very helpful.

Decided to go Trend via Toolstation. Getting a variety of 8mm & 10mm beech dominos, but Trend don't seem to do 12mm... they do 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm & 10mm "only". I do have a 12mm cutter for the DF700 but only use it on big stuff, like garden benches, which I'm not making at the moment...

Don't forget to lay a warning tape over the length; "cable below"... I believe the argumentative poster simply doesn't understand WiFi, FTTP and VoIP or is trolling. FTTP terminates in the customer premises at an optical network termination (ONT) box which needs permanent power - there may be...

"One does occasionally experiment with editing..."

Might be a bit too subtle for some folk. No names , no pack drill…

I was at school in Chesières, Villars, Switzerland in 1967. 12 CHF to 1 GBP Today... 1.1 CHF to 1 GBP Just sayin'

I've done this too plus the Sabre fence upgrade. Both very worth while. Don't be put off by the cutting needed for the guides - it's really not that difficult. The whole job took me a couple of hours, plus a bit for making the table & new fence square to the blade again. Also, get rid of the...

It's not as simple as a rip-off. It's non-trivial and costs a lot to do the design, testing and manufacturing of these packs, especially in an unforgiving industrial environment. As I'm an electronic design engineer, I've always had an interest in taking stuff apart to see how it's made. I've...

Do please avoid the cheap so-called compatible battery packs on eBay/Amazon/Banggood/AliExpress etc. They do not have anything like the same protection circuitry as the original stuff, nor anything like the quoted capacity. There's lots on the web about the dangers of these units. Caveat emptor!
