New router time

The tw o Elu are unburstable. They are both a good age now and still going strong. Smooth to use and very well made. I just don't get along with the small Bosch mini router. Even with the plun ge kit I still find myself loathe to use it.

OT. Windows 8 nearly drove me insane

Just the one word wrong and a missing comma in the sentence above (dictated into TW and copied here)..

Grizzley band saws

Since Suffolk hasn't anything that indicates a name change, I'm assuming that LV simply gets them from the same source as TW. Anyone know anything about these? Also, how much of a variation in length can a 14-15 inch bandsaw blade have?

How to test integrity of a mains cable and MCB ratings

May need a spark ... 6m away - I laid 10mm2 TW&E just in case previously, hoped overspeccing would help. Just hand tools - no big stuff (and lighting) Thanks again!

Bib taps with upstands for 40mm worktop

I'd imagine that it would be a tw@t to get the bottom of the hole flat so the tap sits straight. Might also have been easier to do it before boring the tap hole, so that the boring tool had something for the centre guide to locate into. I'll certainly consider it if I can't locate taps.

Single brick heat loss quantity?

Do you reaaly mean single brick ie 4 1/2" thick or a solid 9" brick wall ie tw brick widths thick. I suspect the latter as the former are not very strong... A solid wall left to get cold will take a long time to heat back up.

Time Warner quit offering newsgroups

TW wasn't the first; Verizon was the center of the conversation. Verizon was keeping rgo but getting rid of all the binaries groups. In fact, if you scroll down (or up, depending on how you view the subject lines) past the six previous original posts, you will come to one by Al.

Frequency and Voltage

All of this reminds me of the guy who was taking Electricity 101. He was trying to remember the equation for power for a test. His buddy said "Just remember 'twinkle, twinkle little star. Power is equal to I(squared) R.'" When the test results came back our student had not done very well.

calculating costs of a spa

HOWEVER my "spa" and I prefer to just call it my "tub" is kept at 101 degrees 24/7 year round.... I may save money by using setbacks BUT I know damn well the thing is ready to use ANYTIME day or night ...

they call it "practising" medicine

------------------------------------------------- A few years ago, my mother's doctor (She was 101 at the time) were having a conversation about mom who was in relatively good health and still living alone. He made the following comment, "Pneumonia is the friend of the elderly".
