I had a short section of round tube ordered from a seller on eBay beginning of June coming, unknown to me at the time, via Tufnells - It never arrived as they went into administration the day after collecting my parcel from the seller.
After a week of waiting for the parcel, I contacted the...
If I leave the burnback control set at 0, the wire sticks out almost 50mm. If I turn it up to 10, the wire sticks out at least 150mm, maybe more.
Beginning to think it may be a fault with the burnback control? I think I've ruled out anything else.
I've been slowly rebuilding the post driver I made 4 years ago and adding a few improvements. Slider for the hammer weight upgraded and strengthened today. Hammer is 400kg solid steel.
Yeah, tried everything, including that and it's made no difference.
It's annoying, as apart from this little issue, it's an absolutely cracking welder and does everything I need it to do, and once I finally manage to get the correct WP26 tig torch for it, I'll be set up for mig, lift tig and...
Had my Parweld XTM 255i welder for over a year now, but over the last few weeks I've been having wire feed issues where it continues to feed the wire after I release the trigger. Burn back settings are at the lowest it can go, but I still end up with up to 3in of stick out, which is starting to...
Thought I'd post a wee update on this.
I've taken the plunge and downloaded a 2d cad program - QCAD and spent the last couple of days playing about with it and watching a few YouTube tutorials on it. I've managed to draw what ai require and a local company are laser cutting the parts out for...
Is there anyone here close to Ayrshire/Renfrewshire area that has the capability to do a small cnc plasma job in 10mm plate? I can provide a basic "fag packet" drawing with dimensions, but unfortunately no .dxf files as I'm fairly crap at that!
Cheers in advance.
The Park Lane BMW dealership in London was the UK dealer for authority spec BMWs, and supplied all vehicles to the Police, Ambulance etc.
This dealership also offered discounts to police staff. My Brother, a traffic cop with Police Scotland, just took delivery of his new 128ti a couple of...
Picked up a pretty rare Toro wheelhorse 523dxi diesel tractor mower with a 52" cutting deck the other week. Deck required a bit of fettling to deal with the rust.
hopefully I shouldn't need to go back near it with the grinder or mig for a while now. Plan is to repair/replace the internal...
I got this back end of last year - mainly to assist in security patrols of the heritage railway I'm involved with as we had been having issues with attempted break ins. Turns night into day and the spotlight setting easily picks out a target a fair distance away! Best bit about is it uses my...
Can only speak for the system we had fitted in the patrol cars. The Cleartone system was quite advanced for the time and nearly all of the traffic cars in Police Scotland have the most up to date Cleartone system fitted now. Distance from the "subject" vehicle may be the problem for fixed...
ANPR should read them fine. When I was still in the Police (10 years ago now) our Cleartone ANPR systems read everything that looked as if it could be a letter - advertising signs, street name signs, picket fences etc so black and silver number plates will be no problem for today's ANPR systems!
Nice choice of tractor! I'd sit Valtra inbetween Massey Ferguson and Fendt in the AGCO stable. They'd certainly be in the top 3 if I was in the market for a tractor.
It's called Beaufort's Dyke and is in the "North Channel" of the Irish Sea between the Galloway Coast and Northern Ireland. Just right in the area Boris wants to build "his" bridge to NI from :doh:
They have plenty of current in service aircraft to train on at Cosford during their courses. Fairly pointless training them on obsolete aircraft when they need to know how to repair carbon fibre panels on the current in service fighter/bombers - Typhoon and Lightening.
The tech training is...
