Have you tried Crittall Windows ? I'm sure you must remember the name. They have been manufacturing steel frame windows since the early 1900's. Still going in Witham, Essex where they originated after Francis Crittal bought the local ironmongers. I bought my first house in Silver End which...

Thanks for that. It's a bit rich for me, but I'll get back to you shortly. In the meantime, can you please let me have some details on the Mount Cutter?

What is your price for the lot?

I bought this sander in Spring last year to help in refurbishing some garden furniture. It did the job, but I haven't used it since! It's a beast - 1200W and 6KG but is capable of some serious sanding! It's virtually as new and comes with: Instruction Manual J-Clamps and support pad for...

How about Rustins Plastic Coating? Made for the job.

Is there a decimal point missing? IE not 214, but 21.4

How about a brushless 3-phase 200W DC motor with an Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) and a PWM variable control? Input DC voltage can be from say 8 - 18V or higher. I've attached a photo of an example setup. The small 230W motor can take 8 - 14V. I'm not sure about the larger motor wattage...

I think you would end up chasing your tail trying to repair a board in this condition. It might even make your hair stand on end. I'd suggest replacing the complete board. They are a common component in many types of equipment. The form factor and connections might be different with any...

Sold on the 'bay

Thanks for the full explanation - I understand it now and I have more sympathy for their cause.

I'm 79 this year, and I have had quite a few experiences of the NHS, and the care and attention of NHS staff over the years. The NHS is the only reason I made it to my ripe old age. Nursing staff generally do a fantastic job under continuous pressure and I feel great respect and sympathy for...

I have an interest, but sadly not near £200. Record have a Winter Promotion right now at £219.99 and I would order, but I don't have a supplier anywhere near. Carriage over 30KG gets expensive. Where in Essex are you?

I would recommend Totton Timber just outside Southampton. Good stocks of unsorted redwood and very impressive stocks of hardwood boards. Also good for plywood and MRMDF.
