I tend to use the bits that are designed to go in an angle grinder rather than a drill now, much higher RPM, not used on glass (but have one to do some time - back burner project) but tiles are so much easer with the high RPM. Mains drill is recommended for the type you posted for the same...
Got a beam installed, that was a challenge, 7.7m and about 770Kg so fun moving that about.
The towers are not carrying the load that is taken by the 7x3 timbers, but they do stop it falling over and give me somewhere to stand.
It was that or 100T crane and even that would have been...
Someone I worked with cut a load of Aluminium angle on a chop saw, then noticed the blade was on the wrong way round, corrected it and the cut was rubbish, so put it back on in reverse and cut was good again. Never tried it but it worked, a negative rake blade is of course the correct item but...
Hope you didn't cover it in gunk degreaser first like I did once, the radiator came out lovely and clean but there was a lingering smell that took ages to clear. :-)
Squeezing harder ended up with a ping and bust cheepo gun, thankfully in the very last fixing. They are hard work to use anyway so went the redneck fix with some M8 studding, will drive with ratchet or old cordless drill, I have some M16 studs to fix at the weekend so hope it works. It has got...
Brushless Makita LXT Angle Grinder, Ordered it a while ago and gave to parents to give back to me, no chance of a "we thought you would like this instead" that way :-)
Think they can feed the new pipe down inside the old one for most of the run so that is a win, although the slab is coming up any way. Thankfully this bit of slab is only 25m2 and not 400t don't think my breaker or I would survive that. SGN have capped it off now so the risk as it was has gone...
A gas leak, well discovered it, outside thankfully and and smashing the concrete (flints and steel) didn't set it off. Its been leaking for ages and there is a void under the slab so could have been my last project (ever). When the gas pipe looks like this its time for a new one, SGN are on the...
Neighbours will be fine but someone else will prob report it, but then as it took me 14 months to get planning at appeal so I expect I can string the process out till I am finished, or put some pram wheels on it and claim its a caravan with shed like tendencies :-)
A shed move, would have been easy (er) but its lined with OSB / Ply so deceptively heavy, plus the small matter of a wall in the way. Why, well clearing space for exstension, and need the storage for the materials.
I got on OK with a drill doctor 500x, OK down to about 3mm and up to 13mm, much better than the mess I make of them by hand. For the price you could buy quite a few drill bits, so factor that in and a bit of time (but it is quick).
Might be worth checking what your feed rollers can support 0.6 and 0.8 is a common pairing, then 1.0 and 1.2 but I would be going with 0.8, if heavier "stuff" was to be the norm then poss move to 1.0 but 0.8 is a nice std for most light work.
This one was similar so made a replacement set from Guage Plate and another soft set from Aluminium. GP is "soft" but could be hardened if needed. Mounted on a 300x200x10 plate so can be swapped with other vices, not bolted to the floor as it might look, that would be very hard on the knees. :-)
I suspect it is a pressure relief valve that is leaking, poss because a boiler fill loop has been left connected and turned on, or a pressurised hot water tank, should be 15mm , tank over flow should be larger and condensate should be plastic pipe, and nothing like that amount of liquid.
Thanks for prompting me to get round to doing something about this, had thought about it a long time ago and then it just got put on the round to it list. Hope its a big waste of cash (i.e. never needed), Dry Powder for the car CO2 and Foam for the garage, now just got to clear some wall space -...
