The instructions for this model of jig do seem to show a large difference between the guide bush and the slot. My jig (not a trend) is much tighter than this. The instructions for use mention several shallow passes but only mention bearing on the joint side surface and not bearing on the back...

I have three of these, the cheap green Bosch, a corded Fein and a cordless DeWalt. Which do I use most? The cordless DeWalt. The Fein is smoother and nicer to use, but the cordless is more convenient. The Bosch green has a fair bit of vibration but is still a very useful tool for DIY and was the...

I would agree. It's a task for a router with a bit of power. I have a couple of 1/4" machines and I wouldn't consider it with either. Assuming you will also need a full depth 1/2" cutter to use with the guide bush? Not saying it's not possible but it would be a last resort for me.

There are several ways you can run LEDs from mains but the simplest way would be the advise above and drive the whole lot from a 12V transformer including your spotlight. You can then drive the LEDs from the 12v with a current limiting resistor. If you go down the mains route you can get round...

I've got an aluminium tower I've had for about 20 years. I got it secondhand for about £500 and it's similar quality to Boss. Paid for itself many times over but maybe because I renovate all my properties. I bought a few extra bits to bring it up to the latest standard. It feels safe to work...

I had similar happen on a thin door. I think it is the moisture from the glue that causes this. Because the glue is only on one side of the MDF it expands slightly on this side. I clamped a straight edge along mine (I have a long piece of aluminium extrusion I use) while the glue dried and it...

I am wondering what made the inductor fail. Often the switching part of the circuit fails which breaks something else. I would check the primary of the transformer to ground for a short circuit as I suspect the switching FET on the high voltage DC side could be shorted.

Looks like a switch mode power supply. If that is all it is, it might be cheaper to replace the whole board if you know the voltage and current requirement. The electrolytic capacitor next to the inductor looks damaged as well.

Can they do something to reset for you?

My guess is a browser caching issue. The site remembers where you are probably through a cookie but possibly the cache needs clearing to fix the issue you see. I can't tell which browser you are using and there is a risk when you clear the cache that you will also clear the cookie and lose where...

Same guy as @Sachakins showed has a video showing this valve. Diverter valve I agree with the previous posts. Looks like you have two issues - water pressure and a separate leak on your CH. I would have thought a plumber would know to check the diverter valve (if you are topping up daily I...

Not sure if this helps but this saw looks exactly like the Metabo KGT501 (which I have). If you look on powertoolspares.com they have an exploded spares diagram which lists the polybelt.

Will do. Due for pickup on Friday

Spoken for, pending pickup

Bit of Box wood (Buxus) if someone wants it. Pickup only from near Wendover, Bucks. Cut down about 2 months ago and on my firewood pile. Cup of tea for scale (not included :) )

Apparently 300 cars a day (all cars) catch fire in the UK. 7 cars a day out of 10 million in China would indicate that fires are a very small issue and way below ICE fires. I know that lithium fires are potentially more dangerous, but the EVs regularly catching fire simply isn’t supported by the...

Daily costs in London for running non zero emissions vehicles are high £12.50/day but London taxis are exempt. However all newly registered taxis must be zero emission capable so if the fleet needs renewing it's probably not a difficult decision

I have a nephew who is a manager in one of the big national car rental companies. He tells me they lose money on the EVs on their fleet due to the same reasons above, but apparently have to buy a certain number although not sure who imposes this. The best part was that they don't have any...

Regarding tax incentives, my work has just sent us details of EVs on our salary sacrifice scheme. Apparently, I can save £661/mo as a high rate tax payer. All money in NI and Income tax that would otherwise go to the government. My neighbour who has his own business has one and he told me that...

If your radial has a load on it that is within the limits of it's break it maybe the additional load on the boiler is sufficient to trip the 20A phase breaker. The fault could also be a faulty 20A breaker. The issue appears to be an overload issue rather than a residual current leak. Also...
