    Sourcing a plastic/nylon cog

    They probably need to be printed with a resin printer, so take that in mind.

    Car pressure washers

    Get yourself something called TFR (traffic film remover) TFR . This is the stuff proper valeters use, not those youtube fannies with their snowfoam. You need to be very careful with it as it can ruin your car if you don't get it right. But this stuff will take all the rubbish off the wheels...

    8.A New toy

    Ah, nice one, I didn't realise you could do that! Thanks for that!

    8.A New toy

    It's all a personal choice on what you feel best with. I have yet to try Design Spark, currently on Fusion and the 10 model limit is a bit annoying! Solidworks and Inventor seem overkill for 3D printing especially at those prices! And Morris, if you want sketchup, download sketchup Make 2017...

    8.A New toy

    Your wild guess is far off. Depending on his slicer settings, the actual cost of a 6.5 hour print with PLA is average £1.50, which includes the electric and filament.

    8.A New toy

    Same, it really is extremely useful. I have saved a couple of vacuums from the landfill by replacing the broken parts that were otherwise unavailable. The quality is extremely good if set up properly. However you get visible layer lines and the print will be porous. This can easily be solved...

    hotmail access blocked

    Hotmail is owned by Microsoft. You can get issues with not receiving the code, like your phone settings blocking it or just Hotmail being rubbish. Can you try another number, like your wife or friend? It can get very annoying with companies requesting phone numbers for verification, insisting...

    Buying a machine on eBay sight unseen with pallet delivery

    Wow, in the dining room??? have you got the link?

    Did you buy any cheap tools that surprised you with being actually good?

    I've noticed this too. Personally, I think they're getting greedy as more and more people are shopping direct rather than through a local retailer. I hope I'm wrong because this won't pan out well!

    Any one repaired a Henry Hoover?

    Henry motors are very simple to replace. Just make sure you get the wiring the right way (2 wires only). You will need to take some bits off the old motor, like the sealing ring, which is fairly straightforwards.

    Plug Cutters

    If you don't want to break the bank, you can't go wrong with Trend. Been faultless for me combined with pillar drill. About £20 each

    Record Power

    I have this machine and issue as well. The remote doesn't seem to work unless it's around 2 foot from the machine, which makes it completely pointless! How far away is it supposed to work?

    Table saw blade tension

    Sounds to me that you've warped the blade, throwing it out of balance as it spins. Bin the blade, not worth risking your safety over £20 or so.

    How do these cuts not cause kick back?

    I saw that a few months back. I couldn't believe how stupid that was. There is plenty of videos showing accidental kickback from various YouTubers. Absolutely no need to do it deliberately, he was a very lucky man!

    Static in PVC Pipe.

    What size is the Kercher vacuum outlet? You really want to stick with the that size all the way through your collection system. As for the foil tape, it might work if it was stuck on the inside of the pipe, but not on the outside. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I haven't heard of a single...

    Static in PVC Pipe.

    I think one guy solved the problem, I can't find the youtube video at the moment!. Basically he put screws that have been cut down in the pipe all along the length, only so they just poke through as not to disturb any debris that flows through it. Then ran a copper wire wrapped round each screw...

    G Clamps

    No, I bought 4 of them, 3 of them snapped at the trigger. Maybe I got a bad batch. I also have the cheapo Irwins, and the screws come loose, and you lose them! (can probably fix that issue with thread lock). Also when you snap them out of clamping pressure, they tend to hurt you! (These are the...

    How do these cuts not cause kick back?

    He's a very experienced woodworker. However it's pretty dangerous to show these type of cuts to a random youtuber, who will probably copy him and it will go badly wrong!
