    Exposing Steel beam

    You think exposed brick looks naff? Interesting, I thought people liked it, hence some asking for brick slips. You hold a valid point on the dirst/dust, however I live in a newish build (20 yrs old) and thought it may add a nice feature.

    Exposing Steel beam

    Thing is not all of the beam will be exposed, so the top where the brick is seated and one of the side, would that matter?

    Exposing Steel beam

    Hi all, About to have a knock through and wondering if I wanted to keep the steels exposed, can this be painted with fire-resistant paint afterward, as a retrofit? Or should this be done before the beam is put up? Also, if I'd like to expose/keep the brick how do I find a work around for the...

    Re-threading a tile cutter

    Looks like there is no thread on the motor they sell: https://www.lsengineers.co.uk/electric-motor-230v-fits-clipper-tr201-e-tr202-310391439.html Not making much sense

    Re-threading a tile cutter

    Looking at the diagram is looks like it should be bolt not a nut? They sell the bolt here: https://www.lsengineers.co.uk/flanges-kit-fits-clipper-tr201-e-tr202-510100630.html It's definitely not a bolt on the machine. Spares list here...

    It looks to be the following model: https://dtwtools.co.uk/product/norton-clipper-tr202-tile-rail-saw-230v-electric/?utm_source=Google%20Shopping&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=AP%20Feed&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhY-aBhCUARIsALNIC06dZveLgcb36PeahyQXNmlwLm4QdTNjLwWA4opKhaIsC9vj-K8O4nMaAuPoEALw_wcB

    Re-threading a tile cutter

    From a google of this tile cutter this is indeed a reverse thread. eBay sell reverse thread dies, at a cost! Harry good idea actually as a backup. Lost assume clockwise.

    Re-threading a tile cutter

    John, are you suggesting that I shouldn't bother with re threading it? Or cutting the new thread as a reverse as it would of been, I'd obviously like this to be safe.

    Re-threading a tile cutter

    cheers t&b. Definitely not M12 to begin with, enough meat to grab on and cut a new thread, It might be too much efforts to pull the motor off and the shaft if even possible that is.. Any other thoughts perhaps not cutting a thread another way, JB welding or similar?

    Re-threading a tile cutter

    Hello, For all those engineers out there or just generally curious to fix tools, how would I start a new thread onto this tile cutter using a die to cut. Looks like it was originally reverse thread, picked it up on facebook market place. I have M12 1.75 die but it's difficult to keep the...

    Subsidence in conservatory

    You actually have three options the third being 'do nothing' as others have mentioned. Await the wet weather and fill the gaps, come summer make a decision on either keeping or removing. My choice would be the latter, for cost wise and people not wanting conservatories these days.

    How to form a piece of stainless steel for boat?

    Does it have to be stainless? I would cut out that area of fibreglass, use a block of marine ply, then fibreglass over the top and if you wanted to another piece of marine ply to make it stronger. I understand from your thinking to just bolt a steel plate, the only way to contour would be to...

    Steels onto return brick for new opening?

    Tony thanks for taking your time to draw up and post the diagram it makes sense really appreciated. CDBE, thanks for also explaining and the PW explanation. I will ask the builder then to cut out the return, as I'd prefer not to have a bridged cavity, Thanks all, finally got to the bottom of this!

    Steels onto return brick for new opening?

    Think I may understand further - using the spreader onto the return and the newly built extension wall, the question then begs what to do with the cavity, fill the void as per tony's diagram (toothing bricks in/or block by block) or simply use a cavity closure.

    Steels onto return brick for new opening?

    In your drawing CDBE, what does PW reference/stand for?

    Steels onto return brick for new opening?

    Thanks CDBE, appreciate the pictures and drawing. The issue I have is that the external walls are up, onto/attached to the external that I'd like to knock through, this would leave me with the cavity. Therefore the spreader assuming cannot span over the cavity without building up a brick pier...

    Steels onto return brick for new opening?

    That is the plan, but asking here to check I'm actually asking the right questions and for all of the experts or anyone that has been through it to provide further guidance. All appreciated if there are further comments/advice. Thanks
