You can get cutters for routers that are specifically for aluminium, youll need to watch your speeds though, and a decent lubricant such as Rocol.

You could use an arbortech disc, available from Axminster power tools.. Not exactly the most accurate tool in the world for cutting a straight line :lol:

Anything much more secure and they will just put another hole in it. :x

Have a look at anywhere that sells dremel stuff. A lot of the DIY shops do dremel accessories.

I pick the impact driver for screws nearly all the time. Quicker, easier, lighter... I use various bits, forget silverline/unbranded. Wera bits seem to be the best of the bunch. Not bothered with the diamond ones. Screwdriver bits are consumables imo, so you expect to break a few now and again.

Newton- metres, 1 newton at the end of a bar 1 metre long from the centre of the fastener. To get an idea of the force, 10 newtons is equal to aproxx 1 kg. If its a cordless drill rather than an impact driver( seems very low torque for an impact driver)I guess the torques are maximum in high...

:? Not on any i've used.

The more you take in, the better price youll get in many cases aswell.

They normally get tight if the disc gets pinched. The ones where you need to use 2 spanners can be a pain in the backside, you need 3 hands sometimes :cry: Another trick is to hold the shaft, then a few sharp blows to the disc, downwards on the edge of a bench is ideal. Try and wedge the...

We normally use the thin 9" ones, (kroneflex) can be a bit wobbly on the initial stage of the cut, but slice through pretty quick once they are going. I would say they dont wear any quicker than the 3mm thick ones, but if they get pinched very tight, it pulls the middles out. Can normally be...

Dates normally stamped on the hole reinforcing ring.

Glad you posted an update Andy. The discoloration from the cutting disc must be due to your technique or more likely, quality of the disc. Ive never had that problem.

Sounds like its a bit or recently made up ground. New house by any chance? A bucket sized concrete base will still pull out reasonably easy if this is the case.

I always thought the majority was made in sweden.... my snap-on dealer told me a few months ago that they now own bahco. The only predominantly French make i can think of is Facom....

What clarke ones were they? Ive not had any trouble with the t-section ones i have. They get a bit of abuse aswell :?

Some of the more expensive poles have knuckle joints to allow lots of adjustment. With the right brackets and passing rings you can do a bay window with a pain of curtains.

You get what you pay for with a lot of things. Can you not return it to the dealer you bought it from.? Edit- just read bought from ebay bit :oops:

Check the ends, they become inaccurate if they get bent in or out. I had a stanley powerlock one a while gao, which every metre or so, one of the mm marks was about twice the size as it should be :lol:

I tried :roll:
