    Remote control socket for twin motor camvac

    @Sachakins Have you got this up and running? Was contemplating either the 2 or 3 motor Camvac and wondering if the 3 motor is worth it because of the extendable switch box, but remote controlled switches would be ideal.

    Sharing Serial Numbers

    I think sharing the selection of tools I use and my thoughts on them could be useful. I keep the manual, invoice and photo of the machine plate in that database so I either need to move those things somewhere else or be happy to share them. Not happy to share the invoice but wondering about the...

    Sharing Serial Numbers

    I'm considering sharing a database of my tools and I'm wondering whether I should go to lengths to hide the serial numbers. Interested to know what potential issues I may run into if I freely share serial numbers of my tools (specifically the photograph of the sticker/machine plate). Thanks.

    Building New Garage Doors - Best Wood?

    What did you end up doing and how did they turn out? I'm contemplating this same question now and wondering whether untreated larch might work well. I guess it won't last as long as treated/maintained but thinking along the larch cladding idea. Was thinking to build a door in similar style to...

    Working Out Current and MCB Size for Machines

    I think you could well be right. To be fair to the electrician he said could be either 16A or 20A but I was keen for 16A so I could use the same plug for another machine if I move things around. However, it's not that hard to move a socket so I'll go with 20A for the A3 41 and 16A for all the...

    Working Out Current and MCB Size for Machines

    To make things more complicated, just spoke with Felder support and was told: HS950 - 16A MCB N4400 - 16A or 20A MCB A3 41 - 20A MCB - will run on 16A but 20A will be more reliable. Sales rep sent over this screenshot for the A3 41. I noticed the supplied power cable is 4mm2.

    Working Out Current and MCB Size for Machines

    Thank you for all the information. I had thought it was to do with startup inrush but wasn't sure if current under load would be higher also. As I understand it, there's no way of knowing just from the motor power rating but one can make an estimation based on a formula that takes a few...

    Working Out Current and MCB Size for Machines

    Hello I have 3 new machines and I'm wondering if there are any rules of thumb to follow for what the maximum current a motor will draw? For example I have: Axminster T-2000CK-200H dust extractor Motor 1.5kW Running load 6.5A Came with a 16A plug and is on a 16A MCB. However the running load is...

    Remote/Wireless Switching NVR

    Thank you so much for posting this. It feels a little over my head but I'm going to have a look at the switch and see if I can figure it out. Thanks.

    Dust Collector Remote Switch for 16A Extractor

    Interesting thread - thanks. Has anyone done this successfully? I have the same dust collector and would love to wire in a remote control.

    Did you go for the Hammer in the end and how are you liking it?

    Work surfaces finished with polyx hard wax oil

    I've had a somewhat similar experience. I followed the same Matt Estlea video and applied 2 coats to 4 birch ply desk tops. A few months later they all seem to have water damage where the grain feels a bit raised and the surface is rough. Is that normal for Polyx? I have another birch ply desk...

    Axminster AT107PT or AT129PT with Spiral Cutters

    Well that ought to do it! I was wondering how much difference there is between the two as the size difference isn't huge but it's a big difference in price. Like £800 more for 30cms of length and 5cm of width or something along those lines.

    Axminster AT107PT or AT129PT with Spiral Cutters

    Interesting feedback thanks. Did you look at/consider the AT129PT before getting the 107?

    Just what I was looking for! Ordered one now. And one for spares.

    Another table saw thread! Panel Saw vs Table Saw

    @doug very interesting indeed. Thanks. I probably won't have access to another saw :-( What did you think of the general quality of the machine and the sturdiness of the sliding table? Did it seem rigid and accurate or a bit flimsy? The PS250 that is, and indeed the PS315.

    Another table saw thread! Panel Saw vs Table Saw

    @doug Very interesting. Did you also compare the PS315? I noticed the fixed rip fence has a t slot in the side which could take another fence. How would the measurement scale be updated though? Does it have a functionality to change that so you can still use it with an extra fence?
