A little consumable care package for the workshop - some clearance bolts and screws.

So how does that work then? There's a collection of tool bits on aresebook, had one of these in...

With downward pressure the unit drives one-to-one, i.e. the quill motion is transferred directly to the tap. The quill is set to stop at a depth approximately 7mm short of the required tapping depth. At this point, as the quill and tapper continue to rotate, the body of the tapper is drawn downwards by the tap advancing into the workpiece. It reaches a point where a dog-clutch slips and engages and epicyclic gearbox, which then counter rotates, winding the tap from the workpiece at approximately 1.75 the quill speed. At this point of reversal pressure on the quill is eased so the tap can wind fully out.

More pallet racking, 4m high and 9 2.5m cross bars, so the ibc cage tilt stand was deployed in the bed as its only 3m, have couple of little jobs to finish on daughters car, then this and the doors from the other day are going up.

@8ob eats them.

The plastic ones are easier on the teeth.

 

[pedrobedro]

How do they managed to get knacked up? Something your blokes do, I assume?

Just lend the trailer to my niece, she can soon wreck a plug. Disconnect ball and leave them in and drive off is favourite I've even had them come back with a pin missing

My dad did that regularly. It got to be that I could wire a 7pin plug without a wiring diagram!

They were never cheap, but made a huge amount of sense for production.

And the threadlock was the most expensive by a long way I bet.

And the threadlock was the most expensive by a long way I bet.

That depends on if its loctite, genuine loctite, genuine henkel loctite, genuine chinese grey inport henkel loctite, or fake genuine chinese loctyte.
Good luck trying to figure it out when even henkel can't tell you.

Have you used this type before?
How do you gauge how deep the staple should go, are there pins on the staples?

 

[Bullet2012]

Bluetooth capabilities, now for a tidy up and replace the crimp connector , if I don’t get stuck

Various staple designs. The pins get snipped off flush with the surface. Example selection:

I've got a wind deflector that's broken. Think this has got to be worth a try.

On first glance this looks like a simple job as I have lots of spare motors and vfds. However the front wheel requires some work to remove the existing "hubs" and weld new ones into place, undoing the previous owner's bodge job that now runs slightly wonky.

It's probably another project that I didn't really need. Before I get started will the belt run fine on plain steel wheels or do they need to be rubber faced?

 

[MattF]

Plain steel is fine for a sanding belt.

 

[Windy Miller]

Half a consumer unit. Just laying on the pavement! Loaded with some breakers that will fit the one I intend to fit in the garage.



If anyone needs any Contactum 6A mcb’s give me a shout. There are a few spares here!
