Hi Blister, This is by no means unusual, I find that if you leave the socket on and reset the breaker it stay in on the first or second attempt. If you swop the mcb for a C type these require a much lower earth loop reading. Regards Soapy.

I have the B&Q one and have had some good results with water based eggshell. I did find that I had to thin down a looooong way to get it to run through the viscosity cup, DaveL, you could cut a section out of the washer and close it with super glue. Works a treat. Regards Soapy

Does anybody have experience of the above machine. I currently have a camvac style extractor which has 2 x 750w motors, how will the scheppach compare with a 600w motor ?

A neon tester which works on the same principle is still the prefered weapon for checking polarity at the consumers cutout.

Axminster CT330.

Scheppach 2500 cast iron model.

Something bigger & quieter Camvac lookalike 110v 2 x 750w unit.

Trend T9 & Bosch 900 ACE for hand held. Trend T11 in the table.

Hi John, I too have had this problem. I'm with aol as well and have a netgear router and have traced the cause to the connection dropping which seems to make the computer restart. I ran the machine with the router turned off and had no problems. The service really seems to have gone down hill...

I put half of my aluminium ladder on each side of the roof rack and lay the boards on that, keeps it all nice and secure.

Hello Old Try electrical or plumbing wholesalers for stud connectors. You might struggle for 12mm as 10 & 8 are more commonly used but if you can't get a sensible quantity I may have some 10mm I can send you. Regards Soapy.

Hi all I had a conservation with a work colleague who is closely involved with the certification of electricians for Part P. He confirmed that the council cannot make an additional charge for the inspection but he added that the latest ploy was to give distant appointment dates and say that work...

Hi Andy I recently removed coving from a bedroom using a Bosch percussion drill with a cold chisel attachment. You need a machine with a rotary stop for this to work but it made lighter work of it. My coving had been applied to an old ceiling with a few coats of paint and scratched up to give a...

Hi Scrit Very usefull post, thanks. Regards Soapy

Woodbloke Surely a skip is the right place for a tv with a reality prog on it.

Lee From memory I think 4 or 5 coats, sounds a lot of work but if you rig up a polythene tent you can use a fan heater between coats and get it painted in a day. I treat the edges with white emulsion with around 25% pva added, let it dry and rub down. It might need a couple of coats to get a...

Hi Jon Just finished putting the final pieces on my new 2500CI this evening (gloat). I didn't have any access issues but the only part that takes any handling is the main saw section which I deboxed and moved into the garage on a sack truck. Just waiting for the missing riveing knife to be...

I've used water based eggshell on a few mdf projects and it holds up pretty well. It does finger mark (kids) but you can wash it easily and it doesn't yellow like oil based paints. I've applied it using a normal compressor and spraygun as well as one of the B&Q cheapy HVLP setups. It sprays fine...

No not my body :tongue9: , what do you use for sealing the ends of blanks ? I thought I could just melt down some cheap candles but is there another (cheaper) source of wax.

Hi Noel, If you have a 10A circuit you should use 1.5 cable, if it's a 6A circuit you can get away with 1mm cable. Using 3c & earth will give you a much neater installation. When I've fitted these on larger jobs the client usually stipulate that they are fed from the lighting cct to stop tenants...
