    Old duffers rebellion.

    A lot of logic in that. Daily infection rates appear to be stationary at the moment. Although many of the vulnerable have been vaccinated for the first time, the mass text service to Cohort group 6 only went live yesterday to allow them to book vaccines. If they get through all 9 groups...

    Old duffers rebellion.

    Interesting that it shows how much Covid pushes those to death with pre-existing conditions that were otherwise alive, yeah! Also interesting in how many actually have pre-existing conditions that were otherwise benign. Interesting also for those that wish to show Covid isn't the big problem...

    Old duffers rebellion.

    May be my use of the word probable, in the mathematical sense that sets my post at odds, rather than the common vernacular use. Happy to agree to disagree though. Didn't post to start any confrontation, just to illustrate why groups are still not supposed to be together (I fully acknowledge...

    Precisely. Bad reporting throughout this pandemic has done nobody any favours. At times the media give the impression the virus mutations are hive minded. Mutations are constant. Always have been. Some are more successful than others, if such a phrase is appropriate.

    I am not sure anyone suggested locking down purely to reduce the chance of mutations. Only that mutations that evade the vaccination program are more probable with greater spread.

    It isn't theoretical or hypothetical, it is probable. Probable, even if, as an individual, you feel it highly unlikely. As before, whether you agree with the level of probability to release freedoms is not something I am getting into - it's a matter for the scientific community to advise upon...

    Old duffers rebellion.

    Very true, and in a pandemic the whole world is aware of the issue. More locally, it explains the long overdue introduction of quarantine hotels, which have served other areas well so far. Mutations are not theoretical though, they are probable. Whether you agree with the level of probability...

    Old duffers rebellion.

    Interesting thread. Aside from the personal dangers of infection (whether the vaccine works for each and every individual involved), there is a major issue with spread. The more contact, the bigger the groups, the more chance of infection and spread. Why is this important - mutations. Contrary...

    Anyone bought one of these router track rail adapters?

    I bought a kit from FC Tools to convert my rails to guided holes. Works a treat. They also make a version of the LR32 router base with stepper for the DeWalt 18v router (amongst others). I've so far converted both an 800 and a 1400 rail. I did originally buy a 3D printed adapter like you linked...

    Banggood / Drillpro Tools

    I've found Banggood to be pretty reasonable on delivery and great on price. Only one delay on delivery outside the 2 week window so far (and known at time of order), and the savings are very healthy......I believe the items below to be identical, and even allowing for shipping, duty and VAT to...

    Planning Application Objection

    That could be a reason then, even though you've already tried to mitigate. If they've enquired about objecting to noise, then they will have hit a "brick wall", as that's a post build issue, as far as I remember. How often are they at their second home? Would it be easy to overcome with a...

    Planning Application Objection

    Do you already have a workshop, and have the neighbours experienced you using it when they use their second home? Got me wondering if there was more to the raising of objections than the basic planning issues they've raised. A fear of noise when they've come to relax, or some such. I'd...

    Ply as MFT top?

    I’d say it will depend on size and support. The above was made from hardwood ply, 1220x610 and supported by 6 M8 threaded support legs. It worked a treat. Recently upgraded it to a larger version in Valchromat.

    Bringing goods from the EU

    The most interesting thing about your post is that those prepared to find out how to do it will gain on both sides (EU and UK exporters), and those that find it all too much will lose trade. I spent most of my business life importing and exporting both to/from ROW and EU. The difference is...

    Hahahaha. Don't - it was a useful heads up - lead to me finding something I'd been looking for!

    Thanks for your well thought out reply. My post was not based in politics either. Certainly an admirable stance you're taking, and I wish you the best of luck. I mentioned Tom and Barbara rather tongue in cheek, it wasn't meant to be offensive, but it does appear you are self sufficient. I would...

    Rutlands tools

    May I ask how far is "as far as possible"? I noted you've mentioned not typing on a Chinese computer. Tablets? Phones? Watches, even theoretical Swiss ones? TV's and radios? Power tools, given where we are posting? How about security? House alarms, CCTV products? Heating and lighting? I'm not...

    Benchdogs Parallel Guides - I can't see the wood.......

    Brilliant. That works a treat. Thanks for that - my mind is now at rest. Seems to line up perfectly for narrow cuts. Fantastic stuff. May I say - this is a cracking product.

    Benchdogs Parallel Guides - I can't see the wood.......

    Thanks for the answers, and tips - much appreciated. Product is very much at the usual high end of the spectrum for Benchdogs stuff. Have quite a bit of their gear already myself, and waiting on the Rail Square to arrive when production allows also. The rail mounts seem very precise, and...

    Benchdogs Parallel Guides - I can't see the wood.......

    .......for the trees. Ordered a set of these a while ago, and they arrived today. Four extrusions in total (2 x 19-1190, 2 x 19-545), two rail mounts, and two stops. I can see perfectly how to use both rails in the conventional way, but the short rails also have, on the underside, a...
