Just watch you don't end up recreating the Fargo wood chipper scene! That's an awfully tall ladder

In normal mode instead of A frame it goes 3x higher. Im ok at this height!
Have you got it out yet? Is the hole an oiler for the gear wheel and the screw retains the shaft?
I made a mosfet reach 150°c in 10s lol.
I attempted to repair a perfect draft PCB as mosfet had fried and after spending several hours sorting wire jumpers as the tiny horrible traces kept ripping I managed to get it all set and good to go however it appears something else is fried on the board as just instantly blew these mosfets even though I ordered 50a versions to replace the original 30a.
Oh well time to find a donor machine!

After trying three times to get a straight bead along a replacement section of bonnet / windscreen surround on my project, I finally gave in and made a rudimentary back-stop for the bead roller. Now I've got a lovely straight bead, and have to bend up a ninety degree bend in exactly the correct spot, or have to do it again. I've already made the piece and got it spot on (it curves slightly in two directions) but didn't put the bead in it, ruined it by trying to do it freehand with the joggler, and tried a couple more times. Let's hope I can get the curves back in it.
I bought a 3” grinder,which I reported here recently,I’d always planned on making an adapter nut to use worn 4.5” cutting discs as they are within RPM ratings,so as I received a free replacement as the original had a wonky clamping nut,I faced off the spare drive nut flush,then welded the spindle hole of a spare m14 nut,bored it to suit the m10x1.0 3” grinder spindle,with a 0.9mm x22mm step to take these. Penny pinching resourcefulness.

Replaced the internal components on my AEG, hopefully it will be a little below 1J.
I've put new cylinder and piston heads, and more powerful spring.
Check again for smoothness of the moving parts discovering a problem on the tapper nozzle wich is 7.20mm in diameter while the hop up chamber was 7.09mm avoiding the nozzle to close on battery, consequently most of the air leaked through the magazine instead of flowing into the barrel.
I've had to break out my decimal bits set and manually reamed out the hop up chamber till the tapper nozzle finally moved freely into it.
I've then installed the An-Peq 15 and the EOTECH replica just to see how the look like on it.
Honestly I have to replace the fore grip, real covers and butt stock with tan or coyote brown ones yet but I'm kinda not sure about how it would look like.

Probably be the gate drive circuitry. If the part is rated for it (bear in mind that suppliers often quote misleading numbers) then either it's not sinking heat effectively enough or it's not being turned on fully and thus acting in a resistive manner.
MOSFETs are generally used either fully on or fully off. If they aren't turned fully on then the drain source connection had some non negligible resistance and thus heats up when current flows.

Yep - a good old Henry. Rescued from my neighbour’s car boot just before it ended up at the tip! Just needed a replacement switch.
Yeah I think it might have lost a component the first time it's overheated since it melted the solder, just keeping an eye out for as cheap second-hand machine or a new board is about 70 euro from France

I hate to pee in your cornflakes, but I think you might have made a rectangular thing instead

A dummy speaker. Well four of them actually. I have some dead audio gear I need to get round to fixing, but I don't want to risk blowing up a pair of nice old Wharfedales testing it.
Not much welding involved, but a fair amount of drilling and tapping to attach four 50W resistors to a big heatsink.
Case was 3D printed at work.
It also means I can do a burn-in test at full power without annoying the neighbours.
