Same time I was cleaning the Babco vice I was also cleaning this little un named vice.

Complete, just needed a clean.

Just gone in the workshop and the switch is faintly humming,working fine though,any ideas?
Oh and the mismatch of screws......it’s so far down the list of jobs,that it’s now buried

Moved the double socket behind the drill press and put all the drill bits and router cutters away:


And repositioned the plastic bin rack and made a storage area for steel stock where the cabinet used to live:



Much more of this and I might actually be able to make stuff

The switch has a coil in it that is energised when you push start. If you push stop OR the power goes off, it drops out so when the power comes back it needs starting again.
Reckon the coil is buzzing.

They're rubbish. I've a D bit grinder and a small horizontal band saw with those NVR switches. Both buzz.

Stick a proper Contactor on it and be done with it

 

[KemppiFrog]

Tend to agree with the quality of the Axminster NVRs . My one on a bandsaw quit, so I just replaced it with a light switch. If I am dumb enough to leave it on, then I deserve to get chopped up when the power comes on again. So far, so good.

the sockets on the p..ss . like a ski slope

Axminster buy the switches from the same place as the OEM's Looks to me there is only one place in China that make them. Keto if I remember. I've got one that buzzes. I turn it off at the plug.

 

[nickk]

I’d be perfectly happy with a simple on/off switch,but inside there’s 5 wires to connect,wouldn’t know where to start.odd as the previous same one didn’t buzz.

Carrying on from the dripping tap saga I present to you some of the finest quality taps from a land far far away, £20 delivered and they seem to be reasonable quality, I guess most of the branded stuff is going to be made in the same place!
Anyhow the length of the threaded tail is not going to be a problem is it... what should have been a quick job turned into a longer job extending pipe work FFS but they are fitted and the water is staying in the pipes until requested not too

Just use push fit flexies on them taps next time?

A friend who is a plumber told me not to buy unbranded taps. He reckons they make them from the parts scrap bin...when they fail it's impossible to get parts because even the original maker doesn't have a clue.

Post a photo of it. I'm sure someone on here will be able to guide you in simplifying the setup.

I never bother with NVR's on my gear. Keeps good practice & common sense on form. Much prefer toggle switches.

They were on flexi hose which aren't stretchy hoses unfortunately
