Have a look at his other listings, they are all catalogues or single sheet ads and all priced at 79.99 except for 1

If you have removed the base from the chuck to do the lid, then replaced the base in the chuck, in my experience the base is never going to sit in the exact same position as it was when first turned, i think this could be your problem. Try fitting the base without tightening the chuck fully...

Hi Spectric My intention was to split the supply (henley blocks) from the isolator just after the meter, one going to the house CU then run an armoured cable from a fused isolator(63A) to my new workshop at the top of the garden then split that to the two boards in the workshop. The max load...

Evening all I don't see why it is any more difficult to fit two cu's. I want all my large machines served by a dedicated mcbo, so that's 7 maybe 8 ways, two radials for sockets, two lighting, one outside lighting, cctv/alarm, so we are upto 13/14 ways plus leaving 20% of the board free as is...

If your workshop is cold/unheated all you need to do is ensure you have air flow through your shop. No heating in mine but good airflow never had any problems with rust. The problem with heating is that you will need to maintain that heat as, if your shop cools overnight the moisture in the air...

Funny enough I'm going to replace the current rings in the house with radials, I did mean radial in the workshop maybe 2, one down each side, the reason i intend to put 2 db's in the workshop was so i could isolate all the machines at night. The supply i have at the moment is only a 60A domestic...

Spectric, My thoughts the same as yours, my new workshop (if i ever get the planning sorted) will have two consumer units one to feed 32A ring main, lights, alarm etc and a separate board to supply large machines, each machine on its own rcbo (type c) terminated with an isolated commando socket...

Steve, same up north supplier generally fit isolators, but the only test we would do would be for polarity, no earth loop impedance test. DNO will fit an isolator if they are upgrading the service cable and service head, a few years ago we had contracts to fit isolators to all council properties...

All they're doing is checking for correct polarity before they start, they will have checked polarity at the service head to confirm you don't have a double cross polarity then test when finished that they've not put a cross polarity on, there is no requirement for them to test anything else as...

Should test at the service head for dead ie prove test lamps bottom of cutout to neutral, prove dead, top of cutout between neutral then earth and between neutral and earth, retest test lamps, bottom of cutout to neutral. If common neutral in meter cupboard possibly cross polarity in another...

Totally agree with all of the above comments, hate text speak but have you noticed how when they do speak they even shorten the spoken word, tots amaz, is one that springs to mind. Whats App, work for one of the big six, now we can't call help desks, tech support or HR any more, we can only...

As oddbod said you don't want to be in front of the main fuse fuse if something goes wrong, at best you will be showered with moulten copper and receive flash burns to your face, arms or any other exposed skin. We had someone who actually caught on fire, we always wear 1000v rubber gaunlets...

ok thats what I thought, after a new table saw when I get my new workshop built and was looking at one that would take a dado blade.

Trevanion What it the thickness of the groover you linked to, looks a lot thicker than a standard TS blade. With a standard blade on my TS (AXI AW10BSB2) there is only approx 1mm of spare thread once the the locking nut is fitted, so anything thicker than a standard blade would mean the nut not...

Hi Not against any regulations, after all with a two way switch from upstairs to downstairs the cable from the upstairs switch has to go downwards. as long as the cable is vertical or horizontal to the switch it's ok.
