Had a look and no earth leakeage. But on closer examination I can see that the circuit board where the power supply plugs into the board is burned and scorched.
I am not sure if that is something I...

Thanks. I'll do that tomorrow in the day time , providing it stops raining!! And report back

Thoughts please.
We had storms this week and lost all power for a three days. When power returned one of the RCB trips and would not stay on. I isolated the fault to the ducted heating.
I am...

Thanks - Ill see if there is anyone local.

I'm in

Thanks for the advice., But how would the drop have caused that?

I have the Triton TA1200BS belt sander and today I plugged it in to use but the switch had been left on, so soon as the power came on the sander shot across the bench and onto the floor.
No physical...

I did 2 coats of poly. The first coat was thinned with white spirit to seal it. I plan on at least two more coats. Looking good already

The 16mm is on top of thick timber, it was just the replaceable bit.
So no danger of sagging. I didn't do edging. But will maybe do that when it needs changing.

I think oil based poly is the way...

I have just finished replacing the top on my old bench with 16mm MDF. I used the same for the skirts

I am not sure what to do about putting a finish in the surface and edges? What do people...

I know that the paper washers between the grinder wheel and flange are important, but where can i get some, or more importantly to know - can i make my own? if yes, any particualr type of paper to...

Thanks for your advice. And thanks to everyone else who commented. Problem resolved.
The plumber came out and pulled out the toilet and reseated it. Allthough it was impossible to tell if it had not...

Yes there appears to be those holes with caps - so hopefully he will have a bore-scope - he didnt have a gas meter!

He was not keen to come out, but when I explained my diagnostics, he is coming...

Thanks.
I am now convinced that this is the issue and will call the company

My mistake. Im not a plumber, there are lots of information on Google and YouTube that talks about wax rings,

Regardless of the method used, I think now that it is where the pan connects into the...

I did all these things and even with all three outlets sealed, the fan is still pulling in the smell, which by elimination leaves the wax seal under the toilet.
I can see silcon alround the base of...

As I am narrowing this down, I think it is something to do with the fan and the toilet - not the shower at all.

I closed the window and door, left the shower off and turned on the fan. And the...

I think it is somehow related to the fan, but not sure how. This morning I showered with window open (despite the Canberra cold) and fan off, and there was no smell.


I will repeat this again and...

Hi, I have no idea about this. do you mean that pipe that sticks out of the roof?

The renovation is only aboout 2 months, and it was all stripped out and rebult so not likely to be mould issues

No, the basin does not have an overflow outlet.

Hi. Thanks for your help.

No there is no other floor waste.

This is strip drain at the shower all cleaned and clear. The p-trap in the shower drain is working fine and retaining water in the...

maybe, the plumber was a young lad( not that young people can't be plumbers ofcourse) and the plumbing was inspected independly before signed off - so not sure exactly. I might ask the bathroom...

I tested this theory, and I dont think it is that. The bathroom has shower, vanitybasin and toilet. Today I put plug in the vanity and put some water in the basin before shower. This would eliminate...

That could be it. Tommorow, after the shower is off, I will run the vanity for a minute, (there is no bath) if that fixes it, then yes the shower is syphoning the vanity. Thanks. Ill give it a try ...

Waste trap fills fine and retains sufficient water in the bend. So it's not that. Plus the grate seal I installed rules out the smell from the drain, as it is physically sealed.

Any ideas please. Recently has bathroom renovated, and now there is a smell in the bathroom after showering. The plumbers have been out three times and unable to locate the cause.
This is what...

My mistake. It is 2hp extractor. So, based on that, what about 90mm pipe?

I recently rearranged my work space, and now i need to run a new pipe run from my 1HP dust extractor to my lathe, The dusty extractor is in a shed outside and is now about 15. metres away,...

I have my turning shop set up in a double garage. I have installed to exhaust fans at each year end of the shop which vent outdoors. One of these turns on when the light is on, i.e whenever I am in...

Hi

I just wanted some thoughts and ideas before I call a sparkle - so I know wha to expect.
i want to add a dedicated power outlet to my shed which is about 10metere from the back of the house, the...

Got it fixed. It was a broken cable in the back -

Thanks Malb
I have obtained the instructions to reset the VFD and will try that at the weekend

thanks all
i have been in touch with Marco and he is going to send me some diagnostics
but was just wondering if anyone has thoughts about what it could be

I have a vicmarc VL200 with Fuji FVR E7 invertor.
the problem is that the lathe spins in reverse fine and I can adjust the speed in reverse, but will not spin forward at all. Dead as dodo.

I'll see if I can construct something under the blade
this old machine has no dust extraction ports at all, but is a great machine

I have an old Durden bandsaw. It has no dust extraction port. Im thinking of cutting in the cover and add a 5" port. Any suggestions of the best location for a dust extraction port?

Thanks Crocy
i didn't know that. I brought it of ebay and it was sold as for wood turning, but my guess is it is a metal work lathe. Is there any way of testing if it is cast iron?

HI all
If this is posted in the wrong place, happy for it to be deleted.

I have acquired a four jaw chuck, (not scrollchuck) which I intend to use for off centre turning.
However it has a...

Thanks

just took of the tyre and guess what, the wheel has a domed so no need to crown.

so, my old Durden B1200 needs to tyres, and when i look at the wheels i note that the tyre sits in a recess. The question is, what is the best way to crown tyres that sit in a recess?
many thanks...

HI

Does any one know how to adjust the tracking on top wheel on the Durden Bandsaw? I cannot see how to do it at all.
Fortunatly the blade runs perfectly straight even when i put a new one on, but it...

Thanks all. Will try something else

This might sound a crazy idea, but -- I am fed up with the ose of shop vac constantly getting choked as I vacum up the last of the shavings of the floor and around the lathe. Its because the hose is...

I have tried that already to no avail. The vicmarc support gave me same advice but the jaws don't meet in the middle


some of the other vicmarc chucks, the sliders are anti-clockwise . On the...

Is this the right forum?
