Catlad. From the list attached, which one. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=125+bosch+universal+diamond+disks&i=diy&crid=2R6Y6AXHGXNMM&sprefix=125+bosch+universal+diamond+disks%2Cdiy%2C90&ref=nb_sb_noss

I'm finding it difficult to work out the difference between the vast array of diamond blades used in concrete and brick cutting. Some appear to be continuous circumference while others are segmented - what's the difference. As a DIY'er I would like to buy one for occasional use, that could cover...

Thanks for the advice. Why then do Bosch advocate their Carbide disc https://www.bosch-professional.com/gb/en/expert-carbide-multi-wheel-x-lock-cutting-discs-2869695-ocs-ac/ as suitable for wood cutting?

OK. I accept your advice re. garden use although I thought the Bosch Carbide disc was ideal for wood use. Could you please furnish info. re. recommended brands for discs and perhaps a visor that isn't too expensive.

As the title says and I want to buy the safest and prepare properly and safely. I have a cordless 125mm grinder arriving today. All I've purchased so far is a Bosch Carbide disc to enable me to reduce in size for disposal a garden gate and 50 branches too big for my shredder. Although I have...

My son asked for some advice re. the above. He believes that his fault is DIY repairable but it's confusing. The cold fill solenoid valve appears to be under his sink and not integrated in the dishwasher. It seem like the valve with a cable has a cable resinned in. That cable is the threaded...

That is exactly what I would like to be able to do if necessary at a later date. I've seen it done on other sash clamps but need confirmation that it is possible on the Magnusson ones.

Does anyone know if they - like others - have the ability to be joined with another to double their length. Till now I have used Irwin quick clamps but will invest in a couple of longer sash one for some small chair gluing projects. I thought sash ones might suffice but need confirmation that i...

I thought that I'd go straight to the medium duty quick clamps and try to build up a variety of sizes. To start I thought I'd buy a pair of 300mm (12") but would like to confirm because they are an expensive item. Will they work OK for smaller ranges ie. to avoid buying 150mm as well. If OK I...

The ones I fitted. W hen you screwed down you were squeezing the conductors between an upper and lower plate rather than the screw entering the hole and pressing on the wires. The problem I found was with the limited length of the wires and sometimes with 3 of them. The purchase became very poor...

I prefer the wire going in a hole and pinched by screw rather than between two small plates (if I remember rightly)

A couple of years ago I replaced the socket outlets and light switches at a friends house. The wiring was OK although the available available length was sometimes lacking. I believe he had bought MK and I remember having issues with 3 or 4 with the conductors popping out. I found the method...

Sorry for dragging this thread on, but. What I am asking above is if you introduce an MCB in an enclosure before the first socket then since you only wire the L to the MCB. If you then connect N & E onto block connector to then extend T&E to first socket. Does the block connector not add...

Thanks again. If say I installed an MCB for both power and lighting (seeing as they're cheap) would you fit single pole MCB's and connect both N & E to block connector within the enclosure or double pole MCB's and just E on a block connector. I am not sure whether it is acceptable to connect...

Thanks again for the very informative explanation EFLI. Could you give me an example of what you call "a small enclosure with a 25A MCB in it" - and I will leave you alone.

If I can impose on your knowledge once more, can you oblige. If as I understand you can have a 4mm. spur off a socket from the house ring serve the garage. Because of the regulations you can safely draw an accumulated 15A because the rating of the cable is 32A. Why then if the rating of 2.5mm...

Can you expand on "in the right place"

Thanks for the reply. To clarify (bearing in mind I said the cable was directly of the back of the socket) that the spur is OK with say 4 sockets (one providing power to a tumble drier) because it is already 4mm cabled. If yes, would FSU be an insurance or totally unnecessary. Where would you...

I'm helping a relation tidy up the wiring arrangement in his garage and improve it's safety. Along with many similar installations in the area, the power feed to attached garage is via a 4mm spur off a socket outlet in his lounge. At the moment I don't know if I could just drill another hole...

Although I can source a replacement head for my Drayton ZA5 valve. Does the much cheaper ESi head fit too. It's spec states ESi, Honeywell, and similar type bodies, with the two supplied screws.. but doesn't mention Drayton.
