Just to keep the thread vaguely on track, I have cheap tacho units on my lathe and mill, they take a second or two to settle, they could certainly be more responsive.

They have not been slow enough to motivate me into picking up the Sharpie and marking out 250rpm intervals around the knob, which would be sufficient I would think?

All available in your local branch of Currys, under their own brand name.

Xiaomi is now the biggest smartphone brand in India, and 4th biggest worldwide, Oppo another Chinese brand you probably don't know is 5th biggest worldwide. You might not have noticed but plenty of people have.

Add Pirelli to that list. Xiaomi are not yet that big in western retail, it won't be long before they are though. Haier sell some own brand stuff, but also own brands including sanyo and candy. Hisense were one of the main world cup sponsors and sell TVs worldwide.

Just shows how little attention is paid to your average hill farmer I suppose. Not that long since the last restrictions were lifted:

It's a driving aid, if you think it doesn't help you, turn it off or ignore it.

These systems are clearly being put in to test viability in the real world, and for now will err strongly on the side of caution where they can, so of course it isn't going to keep telling you something when it has had no recent inputs

I used chint actuators and contactors on my vfd install, though for some reason they are currently astronomically priced on eBay, other suppliers on Google look more normal.

About 4gbp per button or so, they have a nice heft to them, and I liked how I could have a guard ring on the start button, but not on the stop control, small details like that adds a nice polish I think.

Bill, assuming this is consistent between brush head changes, then it will be temperature and humidity difference. On one brush the residual paste is drying out on the head and shank, to be washed off at next use, on the other it is running all the way down and collecting in the gap before it dries out.

The unpleasant smell bothers me, and I have clearly spent too much time thinking about it 😁

V8Eng, what makes you think they aren't already here watching us?

Anyway, I imagine the statistics for injuries would plonk model engineering into DIY injuries:

There's a big long list of things to be banned before they find us😂

Robert, if your new all singing all dancing CNC clipboard jiggler brings down an overflying 737, then rest assured the lack of a suitable technical file will be the very least of your problems.

Sigh. Your two posts argue different points, hence you are more interested in argument than answers.

You say you won't ask the only people who could give you a definitive answer, so I conclude you don't really want one.

You say you have your own opinion on this, I don't think discussion here is going to change it.

The only point of your posting is therefore obviously to stir up sentiment re EU legislation, despite the protestations in your first post.

Robert, your last post hangs your very tedious clipboard on a different set of goalposts to your first one, as well as being wrong again; are you just deliberately trying to have an argument?

If you have a genuine concern, why have you not contacted the relevant enforcing authority and sought their opinion?

Try looking at the enactment into UK law of these directives, eg PUWER.

Your many questions are largely moot, CE marking is mainly about common safety standards for the purposes of free trade, not the regulation of hobbyists.

CPF used to be the best (only?) place for flashaholics but if your interest is in making your own within reasonable constraints, then http://budgetlightforum.com is probably the most useful now.

Some of the blf designed Chinese made torches are fantastic value, but if you have an old d cell maglite lying around then a proper led conversion is a nice little project.

Write up the really basic safety rules, and stick them on the wall behind the lathe.

Discuss what he might want to make, then guide him through it step by step. Making something he wants will help maintain interest and help with information retention as it helps relate processes to a real object.

Get him to research the processes himself on youtube, you want to teach him enough so he can teach himself, there's no point in having you do all the work in the learning process.

There is no significant difference in youngs modulus between the various aluminium grades, so any old tat will do.

If it isn't stiff enough, change material, or change the dimensions, a diameter increase being the most effective.

No you haven't, you aren't measuring anything meaningful there, there is more than 1 axis of freedom.

You said you had trammed the head, but video 2 above clearly shows it is miles out. Step away from the spanners before you make it worse, go and have a cuppa, then engage the brain.

I found that the 0.2mm nozzles were really good for lithophane printing. Basic guide here: **LINK**

Print them vertically up from the long edge however, doing it flat as per the video leaves them rather rough looking.
