    Drill press (ATDP17F) tripping

    This sounds like there might be an insulation issue due to dampness in the motor which is causing an RCD to trip on imbalance due to an earth leakage.

    Hall Effect

    Why are you using a hall effect sensor ? there are many other types which work on various principles that you could use, optical sensors are easily interfaced into a system and many come with the emiter / detector in a simple package where a simple disk is used with some slots.

    Computer confusion....

    When you read to me alarm bells start ringing, just comes across as a money making scheme and read further If everyone uses the same formula then you will get the same results allowing for some deviation, now possibly going by the fact that all the noise that eminates from the radio...

    Paint for kids toys.

    This is actually quiet ironic, we seem to have several generations that have all sorts of issues and conditions with headlines such as this and we are worried about what paint, the fact that the boomer generations who grew up chomping on lead paint are still here to tell the tale would...

    Hall Effect

    When comissioning the encoder in a system you set the "home position" which is given by the home / Index / Z output and then the A / B outputs give you position relative to this home position, I suppose I should have used the term relative position.

    Hall Effect

    This all depends upon the accuracy of your speed requirements, for complete control and precision the sensor would need to be part of a feedback loop in the control system. If you want reasonable precision then you can use the control signal itself, ie if 67 Hz = 1200 RPM then just use this...

    Home library

    This might be an interesting read https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/shelf-supports.86342/ But you could use some of this https://www.cookebrothers.co.uk/shelf-support-systems/flat-bookcase.html and recess it flush using one of these...

    Computer confusion....

    Having never heard of the site teachable I took a look and had no issues with accesing the site. It appears to be a platform for people to make money by selling "their knowledge" and the platform charges people a membership fee. If you cannot access a product on this platform then I would...

    Am I doing something wrong here? Track saw and splinter guards

    I think with some tools you can get away with that, angle grinders, drills and such could be consumables but would you want to cut some expensive laminate with a low budget tracksaw and expect good results ? I know many builders would throw in cement mixers and wheel barrows as consumables on...

    Dewalt 1/4 router for Worktop

    The limiting factor apart from the lack of power will be the plunge depth, a 1/2 inch router like the Dewalt 625 has 70 mm of plunge. You can get guide bushes for most 1/4 trim routers but that is for task within their capability. If you gave a location in your details you might find...

    Hidden magnets for cabinet doors.

    Tread carefully, you can put the magnet into a blind hole routed from the backside so not visible from the front and a metal target in the door which you can also hide but use the wrong magnets and you will struggle to open the doors as I found out on a job !

    Need to escape/reset

    I would think that there are a large number of people who are struggling with a host of problems and it is not really there fault, I would blame the environment that we are now living in which is not great and is really toxic for a good happy life. We hear a great deal about mental health and...

    Am I doing something wrong here? Track saw and splinter guards

    As @sometimewoodworker said, to get quality results you need decent tools and buying low end is not cost effective in the long run. Also it is not just the tool itself but the supplied blade is also probably not that good. We all make or have made this mistake in thinking we can get away...

    Pillar drill

    For sheet metal you would use a hole or fly cutter for many holes as larger drill bits will just grab.
