Hilti dd350. It's safe and cracking http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-32291526 Graeme

I had the same issue when taking apart my bench drill. Solution was to open the chuck fully and insert a long bolt. I camped the chuck in a vice upside down and a Couple of whacks with a lump hammer and out she came. Not pretty but it worked Good luck Graeme

I could rig up some sort of on/off switch no probs. I have a really cheap jigsaw that has a trigger on lock and I would be very surprised if it had the pendulum action unless that standard. What would a blade guard look like? Does it come over the table or sit like a riving knife? Thanks...

Update: Turns out the saw is still sold in uk by machine mart https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/fox-f36-527-10-table-saw-230v?da=1&TC=GS-060611527 I ordered the draper riving knife and it fits perfectly. It also allows me to mount the blade guard and make the saw safe(r)...

No joy ordering the exact part. I does seem to mount the same way as the very similar draper model. £6 inc postage so will give it a bash and see if I can make it safer :D Thanks again Graeme

Thanks to all for advice. If I can't fit a riving knife and guard I will be just using the router bit of the table. Trying to get one might be difficult as anticipated. I sent a pic of it to the seller and asked him to look for it. He said he'd get back to me, maybe he will. I can find a...

Hi, Just bought a table saw on gumtree for £40. Needed a work bench so even just the table was useful I thought. I appreciate that table saws are quite dangerous and I have never owned one so advice much appreciated. He said it was complete, but it's not got the riving knife, to which the...

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7UaNzGBcBds I presume parliament hinges achieve the same thing or are the same thing? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/In-3-sizes-4-5-6-Parliament-Door-Hinges-Wide-Throw-Full-Swing-Back-Hinge-/200881340761 Now I know how to fix my loft door :D

To sharpen anything I would use a good quality ******* file. Only ever apply pressure with the forward stroke of the file. Clean it often with a file card. This way you can take out most of the nicks carefully. It takes time but finishing with a stone gives a great edge. I use a Lansky stone...

Hi Gerry, Not that I know much about the content of your post, but I thought I would say welcome to the forum and for a first time post that's some great detail and pictures you have given. No doubt someone here will be a long soon with the answer. Graeme

Hey mate if you did all that yourself you need to change username Nice work! Graeme

If you look at the portfolio page http://www.easybasehome.com/casestudies.php Check out the angle of the aerial in the photo 2nd down on the right. If a roofer had ever been up there he would have sorted that. I mean it's there portfolio. Cheap and cheerful and not done right. Screams of...

I once had a similar problem and ended up glueing a spigot adaptor to the back of the vent and using hose off that Guess it depends how well you can attach it. I used screws and epoxy. It held, bit wasn't ideal...

I'm confused. Is the damp patch outside or inside the house?

Keep an eye on free cycle there was a guy giving 2 rolls of knuf insulation just a few days back.

As a chemist I would go: Acetone : nail varnish remover Xylene/toluene : specialist paint thinner (halfords) Ethanol: methylated spirits hasn't done much so I would try the above. I would then try chlorinated solvents. Dichloromethane or similar. On ebay but expensive. Graeme

Hi, I used a hardie backer closure plate but the stove pipe came through a sealing plate http://www.stovefitterswarehouse.co.uk/collections/bits-n-bobs/products/sealing-plate That way it won't crack the cement board. Stovefittersmanual.co.uk Great resource and worked for me Graeme
