Gareth, the 125 discs fit in both my makita 115 and my Dewalt 115 with the guards on. I found out by accident as I also have a makita 125 that I used to use the discs on. one day I just picked up the wrong disc and put it on. I now just use the 125 with a cup brush on as the longer length is...
If the washer is solid copper,not a rolled one you cab anneal it to re use it as long as it is not too damaged. Heat it to cheery red and then quench it in water. Then you can face it on a sheet of wet and dry on a flat surface a piece of thick glass is a good stand in for this. A new washer...
I have the 410/1, have had it for nearly three years,great machine use it daily only fault so far was the spool support was a bit flimsy,well it fell off actually! Made a handle that also supported the spool, now fine. I have a 10 metre intercon and have used it mobile leaving transformer and...
Norton ok in my dewalt chop saw, 12" cutting discs in a makita cut off saw not good prefer abracs. other sizes ok. Just bought £90 worth of par weld which would have been £150 in norton ok so far.
On the lost and found, I found a pair of snapon linesman pliers in a skip years ago, and then was gutted to lose them,found them again on a barn roof of a customer where I hadn't been for nearly a year!
Used to be a big fan of the gut buster drill I have two, one black and decker with a5/8 chuck, the other a wolf that is mt3 at least with the black and decker if you are lucky the drill bit might spin in the chuck when it bites but with the wolf you just go round! Also both made of ally and I...
Hi, Dan nice work, what is the make/ model of the radial drill I'm the corner of one of the pictures? I am going to look at one next week which looks similar except this one is in a scrappy I think !
I'm not a fan of small bandsaws I would agree with the abrasive chop saw option I have a dewalt one that I have had for years and done a lot of cutting with and still use it a lot for cutting round bar for railings etc,but they are not great for mitres. For bigger stuff I have a Manchester...
And the coil is 440. I had a similar problem with a wad kin cross cut saw That i bought at an auction with no starter it would not work with a s/h starter that i had kicking about so I assumed it was u/s and bought a new one and it worked fine. I didn't think of looking too see if they were...
I read an article once where they referred to electricity as smoke and wires as pipes because if you get a leak in your electrical "pipe" , smoke normally comes out!
Went in there one day and Sam was filling an industrial sized wheelie bin with new cutting and grinding discs because they were out of date. I said can I have some, with visions of filling the back of my truck with free discs,he said will have to ask dad and I thought that's done it then, and...
I have tried moving the wires where they come into the starter along one,would not work at all,along two just produces a hammering from the coil and then back to how it was with the same symptoms as before. I thought that to reverse the direction I would want to change the wires where they come...
