LOL, I know that feeling.... I now have both, got the ETS EC 150/5 and the ETS 125 which is about a 2.6.

Yes, but the same applies. Voltage drop over the length of run, where and how the cable is routed etc. In the same way that you cannot run larger loads off an extension lead, even if fully extended and not coiled. Voltage drop! This should help for reference...

Exactly that! When doing the calculations for my workshop I could have got away with 10mm2, I didn't as the cost of going up to 16mm2 was negligible and removed any concern for future upgrade. That was 60% direct clipped to brick and the other 40% buried in ducting. You have to bear in mind...

I had dealings with them not so long ago and found them excellent. In my case it was sourcing a new armature for my Triton Planer but excellent service :) Hope you get your router back soon :)

Thanks all :) Pretty much what I thought. My planer is now working with the new armature and brushes. I bought it faulty so have fully stripped it, cleaned, lubricated as part of the repair. A Triton TPT 125 almost like new, including the purchase of the planer and all part for £156 :)

Hi all, I have just rebuilt a faulty Triton TPT 125 Planer. It's symptoms were sparking from the armature at the commutator end, this was present when not under load. I replaced the brushes to no avail so then did a complete strip down. From what information I can find many have failed with...

Have you tried rare earth magnets? Cheap and many different types. Strip of thin metal on one side, magnet on the other

So, I have pulled it apart and it looks mostly great. Bit of lubrication here and there. Any suggestions on where to buy parts from for the Triton? I have the official parts supplier listing the armature at £90 ish posted, any 3rd parties you would recommend. Have seen armatures listed at...

To be honest I bought it at a price I was happy with even if it needed a motor. I took a punt as they say. It looks very well looked after, blades are good etc. No knocks or dings etc. The infeed and outfeed tables show very little sign of wear. The brushes and a brush cap (one was broken)...

Hi All, I picked up a faulty Triton TPT125 (MK2) earlier and have just had an initial look. When the planer is powered on they are sparks visible within the motor housing and the motor seems to be hunting although i haven't run it for more than a few seconds. My first port of call were the...

Recently bought 12 sheets of "12mm" and that came out mostly at 11.2mm. Few sheets of 18mm that came out at 17.1mm. Seems to be the norm these days, i seem to recall hearing that a lot of manufacturers were doing this to save cost. The 17.1mm ply nearly burnt me on a project as i was...

Probably not grouped. I change the colour of one of the parts to yellow or a different colour. The contrast makes it much easier to see the gap or lack of it. I also turn the grid spacing off or right down to 0.1mm.

Have you seen the size of the largest Circular Saw that Mafell do? Its massive :)

Definitely option 1 with the outer sheath of the T&E clamped. It may look like they are not fully clamping, normally the clamp is slightly tapered so will be tighter at the front. Whoever told you it's wrong is wrong :) Jon.

As a new table saw user (had used one under supervision many years ago) I am very conscious of what could happen, kickback, positioning yourself correctly and saw the advert for this (Not on here admittedly) and thought it was a great idea. I thin thought about it and it's usage, pretty much...
