I kind-of wish I'd bought a sliding saw, too, but it was a bit beyond my budget at the time... I tend to go for 'good-value' new products - don't quite have the confidence to get nearly new off of fleabay! As to your Q about the corners, all the advice I've read sez go for scribed cuts for the...

What are they called, please?

Have since discovered that you can reverse the valve piece, and replace it, rubber-seal bit facing out and it reduces the escaping water to an acceptable trickle... don't know if that's what you're supposed to do, but it works for me! :-)

I got all excited about flushing my newly installed rad.s this evening - even told the guys at work what I was going to get up to... :shock: I've read the posts here beforehand and thought I'd got my head around it all, but when I was about to start the process I realised that there's a...

There's a handful of +ive reviews on the screwfix site about theirs... http://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-central-heating-cleaner-500ml/44097

I can see why you suggested that solution :-) but the old tails didn't work. I know that sounds a bit odd, but bear with me. The thread sizes were OK but they wouldn't tighten up properly - they had a drain point and when the drain point was aligned properly i.e. pointing down, the other...

I think I'm being a bit slow here, but... I'm replacing 2 rad.s, I have bought one new valve for each new rad., which come with suitable tails that fit into the rad.s. I am going to put my 2 existing Honeywell TRVs back on and I notice that both the in side and the out side are 15mm compression...

Thanks for the posts, folks. I did a forum search for "mitre AND bevel" just now and I see from the many results that wonky bevel cuts are a common problem! :shock: Some references to folk attempting to cut board upright, which is exactly what I did when I first got the saw, until I realised...

I get what you're saying there, the higher up the piece of work, the wider the cut - Clever! Might just work... I'll have a go next week-end, practicing on the old skirting board. That and Clamping it Good will probably be The Answer! Horrah! :-) Cheers, All.

A couple of good pointers - clamping was not done when I did the cut you can see... ! :oops:

A very small disaster in the big scheme of things, but still... A couple of years ago, I bought a Ryobi EMS1426L 10" mitre saw to do the skirting boards and the deck. Now that I get round to the jobs, I see that the saw will only handle timber less than 150mm deep... That's the first 'oops', as...
