Is PU glue the replacement for PVA wood glue?

I would say complementary rather than replacement. If you have a flat tight surface area then I would use titebond or similar. If I had an irregular shape with limited contact area then I would use PU.

are they being used in industry or just personal use in workshop . the 7year makes no odds if just personal/ mine are over 45 years old

Just watch them. I got one for the mig and it started leaking from the guage after a month with little use, the solder joint on the flexture for the dial failed. They swapped it foc and I kept the old one. I may resolder it at some point. I only just noticed it hissing as it was such a small leak.
A consequence of being eco friendly I wonder?

Cheaper probably. What’s more eco friendly than natural rubber?
I re-acquired the ability to drill correctly sized holes on the CNC lathe, after snapping a 6.8mm drill while setting up some other tools a couple weeks ago.
I wasted three nights this week.
Didn't matter what I done, I still ended up with 0.5mm difference over 30mm.
Holder was 0.2mm low, and must have been like that from new. The lathe supplier setup the lathe for the initial part, and I've never checked as previous parts were on spec.
Dialled the ER collet holder in numerous times. Got it down to less than 0.05mm off in any direction. Taper still present.
Decided to try another new drill today, and parts are now perfect again.
I'm at a loss to understand why, as the drilled holes were perfectly centred (split point drill, so they self-centre), so somehow the shank must have been creating the taper, yet the shank was on centre

Today I reacquired my old welding cape/bib out of long term storage. Fortunately it still fits 
and is in pretty good condition. Here's a photo of it with me about 45 years ago.
Think I'll use this as an Avatar, brings back good memories.

It wouldn't have been quite so bad, but it was from a reputable source. Only thing is it was a coated cobalt drill, so not ideal for aluminium, but should have still done the job.
I was sure I didn't have any more 6.8 jobber length drills, which is why I persevered with trying to get that one to work, but I managed to find a new uncoated drill at the back of the drill bit drawer.
I did order a new pack of more suitable drills on Wednesday night from the same source, as I was sure I didn't have any more 6.8 jobber drills, but DPD are still showing as waiting to receive the package. I think that supplier will be getting moved down my list of preferred suppliers..

Not very exciting for most, but yesterday I collected a full size 20% gas bottle from our local Adam's Gas agent.
The extra cost of the one off rental payment for the large bottle compared with the minimal difference in cost of refills between 20ltr and 50ltr makes it a no brainer which one to go for...
Transportation of a large bottle, is the only real consideration, but they also deliver.....result, so if I dont have time to collect it.....

Yeah right, your not going to bin them.Today I acquired a stash of bulldog clips, seemed a shame to bin them
I once salvaged a box full of these, and made up a 50 foot cable ladder using rigid electrical conduit for the rungs and the U-bolt clips for cable spacers. It took up very little space when rolled up into a wheel, and was handy during a few back country expeditions.

I rescued them from being launched into the skip, just as well because they could of hit the Vark
