If you want a really serious data breach try the BBC site for the NI police oups.

Note that SOME do not give good results.

Mine are good enough to go on the wall for £223.

If the printer is spec'd to take glossy paper of a decent weight (and you have set the paper weight accordingly) and the write-up spiel talks about presentation documents then it will deliver decent prints.

I have a Xerox Phaser 6510 colour laser (LED really as are all budget printers)

Good as gold and prints decent colour photos..

Just one thing to remember when you buy a pattern refill and the printer asks if this is a genuine cartridge tell the truth and reply NO! deny it by saying yes and the printer will lock the refill out till you buy a very expensive genuine one.

Pattern parts are ok , but counterfeit ones are illegal.

I just think he needs a bigger blowtorch to fix the leak.

That might have been nasty enough to damage the chuck as well.

The saw shown in the link is good for 1/2" (13MM) steel plate, but how will you feed the plate. It sounds more like a plasma cutter job.

You get flaking either where people find sanding too much like hard work or ditto for degreasing.

My old Rockwell was dark blue over the original grey and 90% of it was easily scrape-able with a blunt screwdriver blade.

Might be useful for moving house, but otherwise it's a bit now we need a QR code to label an old icecream tub 'Drills'

Castrol XL was multigrade engine oil from 1900 and frozen to death still available on ebay at £15 per L

PS you can refill cartridge grease guns

Check out the sold adverts in ebay advanced search

It's fair to say that some rotary tables have been supplied with bad printed dividing tables by the makers.

It's also fair to suspect that the same dividing plates end up on BS0 heads. Which explains why the internet has so many tables available

Personally I wouldn't trust any supplied tables and I always run a complete gear marking each position with a felt tip before fitting a cutter. It's tedious, but a lot less so than messing up a gear cut.

My garden pots and greenhouse gets drip watered to each pot with a battery powered timer fitted to the outside tap which for my very little money spent is perfect.

This Webmite is a bit like 'Alexa turn on first light' complication for the sake of it.

Agreed

Butter patters are much lighter and ridged.

Nope, but I have used them unknowingly for milling, you get the below effect on En3 after a couple of slots. Insert supplied with the holder both alledged to be Seco.

I have since used a proper milling insert in the same cutter to widen a lantern tool post which still looks like new.

Be careful, I bought an 300mm Axminster one and left it boxed for a year, DUH.

Nothing was quite right, the casting machining was off so long bends are still a little off after fettling as one side operates before the other.

On the plus side they will roll 3" wide 3mm steel with lots of runs even if the gears are way off meshing.

Turning inserts are cheaper because 90% of them are unable to take intermittant cuts, they are cheaper but they chip won't last.

They say that, but there's service station with 20 Tesla chargers installed now that won't be connected till the Autumn + the odd windfarm in the same boat. So it's all trivial and also 10% missing.

Auctions need time to generate interest, so ensure you stuff gets in the catalogue in good time. Don't rush in your entry in at the last minute as you may only get one bidder that way.

Caravan motor movers are powered from the leisure battery so yes, how long for is another issue, but they are more suitable for deep discharge than a normal car battery.

Neither did the very first versions of 1955 Chevy 265cu v8, first with fancy overhead valves and no still no oil filter.
