Because you get numpties ringing on the 999 system asking where they can get a taxi etc.. Whatever your priority system they are still blocking the line for emergency calls. It can take valuable time to assess a call's priority.

I have done a little research for the area you are in,Picardie. There are some numbers you could try here: http://www.leboncoin.fr/services/320794227.htm?ca=19_s http://www.leboncoin.fr/services/260885345.htm?ca=19_s Also a list of garages in Amiens who offer breakdown recovery...

Not entirely sure of the date but in 1943/1944 (I think '44) my father smuggled me into RAF Mildenhall (we walked through a hole in the perimeter which was used as a short cut by personnel to save a long detour through the main gate :shock:) and I was given a tour of a Stirling. The aircraft...

@ Colinc I see you have a Beagle Pup 150 in your photo gallery. Wondered what the connection was. I did my GFT on a Pup 150.

Are they new sleepers or recovered? I ask because if they are recovered they may well have been treated and, personally, I would not use them for such a purpose. Some of the treatments are carcinogenic.

Looks as if they make to order.

I don't think it was his invention. Water or steam injection was being tried pre-war. It was also used in WWII in some fighter engines. If you Google "Water injection in combustion engines" you will get a number of interesting hits. I believe it is an extension of the observable phenomenon...

I have a 270mm rip blade for my 619. It withdraws below the table. Came with the saw and is marked "Kity".

Trend here also. Very pleased.

I'll probably get shot down for this, but I looked at this problem myself several times (a woodworking hobbyist) in the end I used a hand-held drill with a 20mm wood drill. I made it as upright as I possibly could by eye and a square and then drilled the holes. I felt, and so far have been...

Interesting to compare the posts against the "ratings" against each poster. :shock: :lol: From "Very Sharp" to "Valued Contributor" etc. :lol:

They look similar to the Multico collets. If you get stuck you could give them a ring: Multico SARL 15 Rue des Alouettes St Remy 71100 France Tel: 0033 385 486 672 Fax: 0033 385 486 913 English spoken. I found them helpful.

You could make some tall bar stools with that. :D Correction very tall bar stools. :lol:

Shane, Sorry for delay. I keep a 12mm chisel in the machine which does me for most jobs I want.

If it is any help, I have just measured my M1 and it will plunge a total 21cm (21.5cm but that is hitting the base plate :shock: ). It goes through oak, with decent chisels, with no problem. I haven't gone the full 21cm but am sure it will do the depths you are talking about without any...
