    Make a 22mm copper pipe into a coil??

    Wow! that was something I could never work out. I think a dual or parallel system, two feeding pipes would be good too. Thanks,

    Make a 22mm copper pipe into a coil??

    My son is making a hot tub. He needs to make a 3 metre x22mm copper pipe into a coil for heating the water. I needs to be about 350mm diameter. Anyone know how to make it without collapsing the copper pipe??

    Question on air compressors:::

    Guys thanks you all for your help. If I have not replied to you I apologise. I do feel I need a stronger quicker pump system so 3hp is what I will aim for. I can get one with 14CFM with 11CFM free air. I believe this is what will power my tools. I'm not in a rush, retired, you know what I...

    Question on air compressors:::

    Yes 16Amp sockets is not problem. I have a machine running of one and my new welder runs of 16 amp so I put in a new consumer unit and so I could add more 16amp sockets.

    Question on air compressors:::

    Yes I think I want a 3hp belt drive one. My CFM isn't very much but I can't remember what it is. I don't even think it is 7 CFM but that is based on very little evidence. There is no doubt, having a better machine will open up the options for me that I want; a nibbler being one of them.

    Question on air compressors:::

    Yes I am aware I would get peanut for the old one, although when I bought 40 years ago It was about £100, I think?? A lot back then and I was just starting out. I said in my last reply to another post that while I understand the concept of an additional receiver, I have no clue what it would...

    Question on air compressors:::

    100 ltr and is 40 yrs old. From memory about 90psi but drop very fast. If is starts on its own, due to a little leakage, 5-7 mins to fill. If I'm spraying or using a die grinder it runs a lot of the time. The CFM is low, can't remember offhand what it is but really not enough for running air...

    Question on air compressors:::

    Hi guys, over the next few months I will be having a rethink of the layout of my workshop. As I do blacksmithing/welding etc I am going to build a separate forge to the rear of my property. This will let me get all my metal working tools and those that cause sparks out into a safer work space...

    Not sure but it think if the top is closed the side will be too. It's been a while since I've been up there myself to check it out. Now it's in my mind I must ask my friend who live close to that area.

    Seems like you know the area. I'm not sure currently, but Cove Cave was close as the big rock at the top where you squeeze through at the top moved.
