    Cheap printer server compatible with Windows 10?

    At work we have an old Samsung laser printer/fax (SCX-4623F) which I have no intention of getting rid of until it breaks. However, it is not Wifi or network compliant and we now have 2 computers in the shop which we would like to print off. I was on the point of buying this for 16.99 on ebay...

    Where can I get a 100mm self adhesive vertical metric rule?

    I need to replace the scales on a pottery slab roller. There is one on each side, they are very flimsy label types and have worn considerably. They need to measure around 10cm, and read from bottom to top, and it would be better if they were only scaled in whole millimetres. Any one know...

    Floating hosepipe

    Evening all! I wonder whether someone could give me a source of cheap floating pipe, preferably rigid that can be bent with heat, but if not, flexible but not corrugated. The thickness isn't crucial, anything between about 3/4" to 1 1/2" exterior diameter, and a light colour would be better...

    Is it possible to sharpen hole saws?

    And if so how? We use hole saws quite a lot, and they wear out and we usually buy a new one. I always assumed that they're like hard point saws and can't be sharpened, but before throwing the latest one away, I'd like to be sure..... Thanks everyone, I know someone out there knows the answer...

    Drive shaft extension

    Good evening everyone, I'm new to this scary metalworking section, but I'm hoping someone on here can help me. I need to find a way to extend a tiny metal rod, preferably without welding it, something that slips over the end and tightens with a couple of grub screws would be good. I've been...

    Help, my bandsaw just stopped working

    This evening I was busily engaged in making bandsaw boxes when I had to stop the saw for a minute to talk to someone. When I tried to start it again it wouldn't start. I tried moving the plug to another socket, blowing all the dust out of the microswitches, turning the electricity off at the...

    Is Multistar back again?

    Evening all, does anyone know anything about this? http://constablewoodcrafts.co.uk/multistar__titan_chucks_and_acc.htm There's nothing on the Peter Child website that I can see, though very annoyingly it's hard for me to see as they automatically translate everything into bad Spanish.
