Guys I have been refurbing my Wadkin rip saw (see other thread) and i recently bought a chop saw table of a guy locally. Whilst i was there he mentioned that he also had a table saw to sell, so i sid i would be interested in taking a look. Well it turns out it is what looks like a later series...

Nick I just received my missing copy Thanks Mav

Matt Ive just done my bathroom and got a spark to check it over once i had done it. He said everything i had done was ok. I asked like you about bonding to the earth in the house and he told me it is explicitly not required. The idea is that you are making evrything at the same potential...

I have not received mine either. Cheers Mav

Ah, the old magpie syndrome, I suffer from that!

Hmm, when ever i explored loop holes and or did things explicitly not in the rules i always got penalised.......... I guess that will be down to the lecturer. Cheers Mav

Yes, i think the idea behind the large head is two fold. Firstly its a large surface area for yout to hit, secondly its a large surface area to contact the felt and stop it moving and lastly its a large surface area that generally imprints into the felt to hopefully create a water tight seal...

The thing that springs to mind for me is a mobile tool chest much like the traditional garage mechanics but with a twist. The bottom unit houses a couple of draws and the wheels, further units sit on top of the base unit and attach via locking metal hasps. Ive seen this type of things used for...

I have made collets and they are manufactured so that at the correct position within the spindle when pulled up the size is correct to match the mating part within a very tight tolerance. This means as another poster has suggested good concentricty etc etc but also that the contact area for the...

BTR Don't get over sensitive about it, people have now advised you so hopefully you can improve your communication. I am surprised if you frequent other forums that nobody mentioned it. Alot of forums even make a point of noting this in their terms. It is however very difficult to read a post...

I had the same idea when i bought the material to make my first tool cabinets, not made them yet but got the sheet goods. I went and looked at all the ply at our timber yard, and they had quite a bit. The shuttering ply was all over the place, you would never get a straight side...... Anyway i...

Kin ell, how do you cover a 2" expansion gap at skirting level..... Cheers Mav

Hmm, had not considered that good point! Cheers Mav

I always find Brico Depot pretty good on price and products when im in France. Cheers Mav

AFAIK as has been suggested the capacitor is for spark suppression on the switch, much like a condensor on old points system in a vehicle. If you remove the switch then no capacitor needed. Cheers Mav

Thom May i be cheeky and ask what you paid for a non runner? I am on the look out for a non runner thicknesser or planer / thicknesser. Thanks Mav

For me the suggestion of an increase to a minimum price per unit for booze is another case of a stealth tax. The government will go along with it cos they will get more revenue. It really annoys me, and thats from a bloke who probably drinks less than on average 3 units a month. Cheers Mav

Yeah i checked the web site too, its actually PT300 in the book not 310. Cheers Mav

In which case rpm is the wrong unit. Quick calculation for a cutter block of 3" (i dont know the size just guessing) with an rpm of 5300 on the spindle gives 4161 Peripheral Speed: (feet per minute) see here http://www.haskinsindustrial.com/en/cal ... heralspeed Cheers Mav

That looks like a no volt release switch with the coil showing. These can be obtained form many places, Axminster ebay etc. May be wise to check dimensions if trying to get replacement to fit. Not a big issue because as long as you have space behind you can fit a dummy plate. Toggle switch...
