How about Rustins Plastic Coating? Made for the job.

Is there a decimal point missing? IE not 214, but 21.4

How about a brushless 3-phase 200W DC motor with an Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) and a PWM variable control? Input DC voltage can be from say 8 - 18V or higher. I've attached a photo of an example setup. The small 230W motor can take 8 - 14V. I'm not sure about the larger motor wattage...

Please accept that I'm no expert on EMI, but I learnt what it was early on in my career as an aircraft (rotorcraft) maintenance engineer. HF radio and antenna installed - Transmit, and the emergency floats could inflate, or as I heard from other operations, Schermuly flares fired off. These...

I think you would end up chasing your tail trying to repair a board in this condition. It might even make your hair stand on end. I'd suggest replacing the complete board. They are a common component in many types of equipment. The form factor and connections might be different with any...

Sold on the 'bay

Thanks for the full explanation - I understand it now and I have more sympathy for their cause.

I'm 79 this year, and I have had quite a few experiences of the NHS, and the care and attention of NHS staff over the years. The NHS is the only reason I made it to my ripe old age. Nursing staff generally do a fantastic job under continuous pressure and I feel great respect and sympathy for...

I have an interest, but sadly not near £200. Record have a Winter Promotion right now at £219.99 and I would order, but I don't have a supplier anywhere near. Carriage over 30KG gets expensive. Where in Essex are you?

I would recommend Totton Timber just outside Southampton. Good stocks of unsorted redwood and very impressive stocks of hardwood boards. Also good for plywood and MRMDF.

It's on an Ebay auction - here

I have the 2012NB. I previously had a Triton thicknesser but the annoying snipe was wasting wood and I couldn't do anything about it. The Makita is beautifully built in comparison, and the very minor snipe, head lock, depth stop and adjustment are great features. The extraction hood has a...

Hi - It is still available. I must admit I'd forgotten this thread, but it is indeed ready to go as advertised.

Or use these? Trend WRT/3 Castors (4 off) for WRT

I had a similar requirement and originally set up a couple of broom handles with clamps that allowed some vertical adjustment for supporting backgrounds and lighting on my "tabletop studio". That worked, but not well enough. I am a keen amateur photographer and had a few lighting stands that I...

This is a precision jigsaw for cutting smaller and more intricate work. It is speed adjustable from 2,000 to 4,500 strokes per minute. The footplate is adjustable up to 45° for mitre cuts. It is ideal for tight curves in wood (up to 12mm), PC cards to 5mm and non-ferrous metals to 3mm. Some...

This 5"/125mm disc sander will be extremely useful for a model maker or for any small work requiring accurate detail sanding. It comes with the original desk/bench mounting clamp, mitre gauge, manual and a very good selecting of new discs. Specifically, one pack of 5 each 80g, 150g & 240g. The...

I built my wooden 10 x 8 (internal) shed/workshop from scratch some 18 years ago. The slab was sloping slightly for drainage and my built floor also sloped slightly (about 5mm across width). I assembled and braced the sides vertical. My machines and one bench are on casters, get moved...

The effective dia. of 5/16" UNC is 0.2764". Effective dia. of 5/16"W is 0.2769". Half a thou difference. The Whitworth thread angle is 55 deg. and UNC 60 deg., but I never found this to represent a significant difference in practice, nor was the slightly different root and crest form...

If it helps, you'll find that 5/16"-18 Whitworth and 5/16"-18 UNC are interchangeable for all practical purposes.
