I also have a Lurem C 210B, I have also struggled to find the optimum height for the planner blades, the clamps that hold the blades in position have seemingly been exercised to destruction by others trying to do the same, as some of the locking bolts had stripped, I did replace them, however...

They are not a nipple as such, its a small sprung ball in the middle of a flat press fit ring, as I mention above, I used an adapter on my grease gun that has a pointed end, and can be pushed into the greasing point opening, one word of warning, (its not easy to judge) but don't over grease, as...

I had the same problem, and having bought it from a friend all in parts without a manual, FIRSTLY HAVE YOU GOOGLED your machine to see what is available, that's where I acquired some drawings, as for grease points you will need a grease gun with a selection of attachments, a pointed one is a...

Having read some of the reviews re the Trend T4 router, I am now more unsure than when I started looking.. some say its great whilst other say its rubbish, basically I am looking for one that is easy to use cutting out hinges and door furniture etc, the trouble I find is seeing the cutter clearly...

Thank you Steve and everyone else, of course I would not undertake any action that I was unsure of, hence my original question, having worked with compressed air fittings at all pressures, I am not stupid, however I find it frustrating that I have to rely on (sadly) someone who has never dealt...

Thanks for your reply Jason, I appreciate the fact that gas can cause explosions etc, the pipe in question was installed by the Gas Board when a new meter was fitted, it could be sleeved but does not look like it, I will check again. Sadly my experience with so called Gas experts Corgi/Gas Safe...

I posed the question to find an answer, Illegal !..... I am somewhat surprised that a joint that can hold back some 40+ odd psi water pressure would fail on just 0.18 psi gas pressure!!!!

I know this question will raise a few tut tuts from all those who are Gas Safe candidates, are compression joints frowned on when it comes to fittings on gas pipes, I note that generally that copper end fed joints are used, obviously cheaper, however I have a situation where I am having to join...

Thanks Roger & Roy, yes I have rewired duff circuit boards before, (church organ builder by trade) its just that I thought sod it, find an easy way out for a change.... its not to be.... so down to Maplins tomorrow! Thanks to one and all, re advice given. 21st Now working, went to Maplins on...

While folk discuss air flow ,velocity and vortex, etc... spare a thought for the machine that sends all these messages down the wire to this page, The Computer, probably more neglected than some workshop equipment, (or dare I say, even a few wives!) therefore please don't forget that some of the...

Thanks for advice so far, the circuit board has a lovely burn in it, I could see about putting in a new switch but the board is a bit fragile around the switch area due to the burn hole, I thought I could smell something but I thought it was the WD40 burning off!

Its not the actuator that's the problem, that works ok, its the micro switch unit and circuit board that's the problem...

Can anyone help please.. I have a Tower two port valve model MV2-22C I have two fitted in my boiler system, they need a bit of lubrication once in a blue moon, sadly this time I over did it with the WD40 and it got into the micro switch unit (or washed something in to it) and the switch and the...

The Monty Python team could not have written a better sketch than this thread, argument ..what argument!! I suppose other than counting the cost of the electricity and phone bill, this is just as good a medium to fire off a few shots for those who are fed up with the latest news, and need to...

What a fascinating topic, having just used Hetty to vacuum the stairs I read this item, so I thought let put it to the test re loss of suction via the hose, reducing the hole in Hetty by use of the centre of one of my circular saw blades, ( being the exact size of the hose input at the working...

Roger many thanks for the advice, I am normally ok with woodworking having served (many years ago) an apprenticeship as a church organ builder, however from the (over) assured youth that I once was, I now know its now better to be aware of any pitfalls or liabilities that could occur in ones...

Roger thanks for the information, just one last point if I may, as this joint will be near the sink unit, I assume a good PVA waterproof glue will be sufficient in avoiding problems with de-lamination etc. Last question on the subject...honest! Ian

Thanks for the advice everyone. Question for Roger.. I have looked at the site you mentioned, I maybe am a bit dim and also never having used one of these jigs before.. Why is there angle profiles at both ends of the smaller version and only one on the larger longer version? Probably a simple...

I have been running one of my saw benches with a 3/4 hp 4 pole motor for years, its 10'' blade cuts up to 2 1/2 '' no problems. What's strange is most motor information for saw units recommends a 2 pole motor due to the starting load, but a saw bench has no load to start with until you start...

Can anyone please advise on a reliable kitchen work top jig that's not to expensive, looking on Ebay the prices seem so far apart for an item that is supposed to the same job, I appreciate that quality comes into the equation, but how can you really tell, until perhaps its to late! I have seen a...
