    Extractor for a triton tpt 125 thicknesser

    I've got the Triton thicknesser, I connected it by 63mm hose to an extractor with a 100mm port via a reducer. The hose on the dca300 bucket is too small. You will have to make up something to go between the Triton dust chute and the 63mm hose as the chute is a bit less than 63mm.

    Minor computer irritation. Can anyone help?

    I don't know the app but you could try this, go to the folder your files are in, make sure you can see hidden files and see if there are any tilda fies (files that start with a ~) with the name of the file causing the problem, if there are delete them. These are backup files used by a program...

    How much trouble can one bolt be?

    +1 for the impact driver, I've moved a few seized screws on cars with one of these. As it's a fair mass you're hitting I use a club hammer to hit it.

    Cutting a Slot in the edge of a board

    Did exactly this when replacing drawer fronts a couple of years ago. I used a bearing guided slotting cutter with the router running on the face of the drawer. I think you'll find the odd 0.1mm unimportant as the handle strip (I used) is barbed and has to be knocked in with a mallet anyway.

    making fresh pasta from scratch

    I bought the pasta extruder attachment for a kenwood mixer and make macceroni, fusilli, spaghetti quadri and bucatini. Pasta flour to beaten egg at a ratio of 2:1, then you don't have to worry about the size of eggs, as in other posts never salt in the dough. I make it in batches and freeze it...

    lidl power ext thingy

    As I said buy a reputable make, these sockets are now mainstream and manufacturers such as MK meet a raft of standards that those in the outdated report clearly don't. I'm not sure I would trust the Lidl one. What you feed your horses is your problem.

    lidl power ext thingy

    That report is 5 years old so not so valid now, buy from a reputable source, named manufacturer etc. there shouldn't be a problem. I've had two twin sockets with USB fitted for a year now (sourced from Screwfix) no problem to date.

    Trimming hardwood plugs/dowels

    I plugged about 300 screws making garden furniture last year and found a flush cut saw (Irwin make one that is cheap and does the job) then a block plane/glasspaper as necessary worked.

    Triton TPT125 Planer

    Replacements are £27 a set so its not worth paying anyone to, I wouldn't try to as there is no adjustment on blade position because they fit on locating pins (which makes it a very quick change to new blades).
