Very true John but let's be honest, most weapons have to be built with a limited life span don't they?

Agreed Brian, I didn't see the parade on the 12th but thought the tank was a static display. I know that when this replica (from War Horse film) was shown at Trafalgar Square chequer plate was laid on the road surface for the tank to run on.

Excellent programme, I was surprised that the Council had originally agreed to the Idea in the first place.

Can you imagine the damage those metal tracks would have done to their nice posh pavements? 

Or get a gardener😎

Unless it has recently changed the accepted voltage tolerance in the UK is 415 -6% +10% which gives you 390 low and 456 high so you should be okay.

How is the amperage though?

Interested to know what you will be using this kiln for, 1300°C is a lot of heat.

Acetylene bottles have left hand threads I'm not sure about propane but would recommend checking.

A friend of mine built his own kiln using 240v and a simple temperature controller that used a solid state relay (ssr).

So far no problems melting aluminium or brass.

Are you just rude and obnoxious to everyone or do you save it for just a few select members?

I know that I could select the "ignore" button but why should I give in to small minded people like you?

A warm welcome to you Paul.

I wonder whether there should be more machinery above which is now missing.

The oils used range from mineral oil, polyester oils and other esters.

Generally you added the the dye in minute amounts because it spread everywhere very quickly.

With refrigerant systems we didn't want anything in the system that shouldn't be there normally such as, no moisture, only oil and refrigerant.

Don't forget your black light detector.

And all of this debate followed the question "Are you offended when the media poke fun at your hobby."

Aren't our minds magical?

Nice job.

Would a Dremel with a burr head cut out the 'O's.

Lots of calculators out there but if you want to do it longhand then here it is ....

As Norman says, an angle grinder does the business, certainly did for mine.

These people might be worth a phone call perhaps...

If you have a simple electric soldering iron then they are very good for discharging capacitors.
