Sika anchor fix is the glue we rock climbers use to fix bolts.

Nice But you have n-1 tape measures

Brilliant - thank you! I love that it says "the pulley will slide off the spindle". I'm anticipating lots of oil, swearing, copper malleting, a bit of heat and many incantations.

Hi Anyone got a pdf of the manual they could share? I need ot change the bearings and IIUC the manual explains how. So many thanks! J

So, so, so , SOOOO much this.

My own hunch (as a virologist rather than a bacteriologist) is that evapo-rust is Desferrioxamine-B or something very similar

Ah. Too much lemon juice wouldn't be good for the grass!

How does that make citrate safe? It's pretty safe to start with?

What's the red in the citrate and why?

Hi I asked a similar question a few years ago and was recommended Fisch - I bought a set and have never regretted it. Clean, accurate holes are a thing of beauty!

Hi Sideways Please could you elaborate a bit more on that third para? I've set it up...and it runs, but slower than 2/3 speed and with quite a loss of torque. Just feels like the power is attenuated. You're right that the manual isn't much help! I have the same drive on my planer but that...

Ha. Just read around this a bit. Good advice.

The only question I have about the extraction being outside is that they're very good at taking heat out too...

I've used them a fair amount and never had an issue. Generally for goods that are Chinese sourced in any case such as those little inverters to use 3 phase machinery on my garage supply. They take credit card payments so no need for burner bank accounts

Excuse my ignorance, but what's in the vapour tank? Ethylene (TCE)?

Cobalt. The reason you get advised against carbide is that it's brittle and can break if your hand wanders during drilling. https://fmcarbide.com/blogs/techtalks/cobalt-vs-carbide-drill-bit

Hello everyone Well, it's done! Clamped in vice, a hardwood sleeve drilled and then thumped judiciously with a lump hammer. Came out just right, works a treat and looks original. No heat used because the butane canister turned out to be empty (too much creme brulee I expect). Thanks again...

OK. Now I'm unclear whether to heat with my feeble blow torch (more useful for brulee tbh) or not. If I put the rod across a couple of engineering bricks with a gap between and whack a cold chisel on the gap will I just break the bricks, the rod, both or what?

Thanks everyone n... off to "have a go"!
