    BOSCH GTS 10 XC Dust extraction from crown guard

    Many makes of table saw for portable/workshop use don't meet the regs I learnt many years ago. Have the 10xc and just seen a Dewalt. The Dewalt has an extractor on the guard and I have adapted my 10xc but guard extractor was only good where I could support pipe above machine. Also many...

    Work shop humidity

    Humidistat fan could be an idea, the ones I fit in bathrooms really work well, but, they are pulling moist air and warm dry air from the properties to reduce humidity. If a humidistat fan in a work shop is drawing off humidity and cold air from outside I would assume that it would only reduce...

    Mortar Joint Repointing

    Thanks all, watched a you tube video by Tibby Singh, he shows 4 different ways of doing it. His demo helps to decide what best suits me. Favourite would be the gun, 2 things put me off, the faff of filling the tube and waiting for pointing mix to go off enough to dress it. Thanks PerryGunn...

    Mortar Joint Repointing

    OK I have 2 of those weapons, no scutch. The mortar looks bad and patchy but I haven't given it a prod yet. So I'll check it out more thoroughly, then, to save my ageing joints I'll probably use my mains SDS (lighter than battery machine) and by either a scutching bit or possibly one of those...

    Mortar Joint Repointing

    Two in a day I must be related to a bus :rolleyes:. So what is the best method of removing the old mortar before repointing these days, not by a hand chisel I hope! I have SDS machines so perhaps there's a specific chisel bit, or is there a specific power tool? Ooh whilst I'm on a run is...

    Drainage - Plastic to Clay pipe

    I'm using one of these as it couples but also gives me an offset I need to line up with the surface drain 110 outlet, haven't seen the rubber connectors with an offset, so this should work just fine with a bit o fettlin :)

    Drainage - Plastic to Clay pipe

    Thanks Artie, as Daniel2 put, below ground I am connecting to the larger clay pipework, reducing it up to 110mm for a surface drain, so the flow goes from the drain, through a small distance of 110mm into the existing 160mm. Would have been easier with a sketch with words 😁 It's amazing how...

    Drainage - Plastic to Clay pipe

    Thanks Daniel2 I had wondered about that, now as a result of your comment I have just realised once connected, and then back filled it can't go anywhere. I like it when a plan comes together, with a little help from my friends;)

    Drainage - Plastic to Clay pipe

    Doing a short run of surface drain. The underground clay is 180/160 and I have a plastic level invert offset reducer (try saying that after a dram or two) to drop in to the 160 and connect up to 110. There is no seal so would it be best to use a silicone bead around it to stabilise the joint...

    Which wall fastenings for twin slot shelving?

    Hammer fixings are not meant for the type of load you could put on the brackets, although probably mainly a shear load. Fischer I believe still do an S6RS60Z frame fix, this will take more load than a hammer fix, and would go through the bracket, plug and screw. If not an S8RS80Z but you would...
