Good Morning Early Birds..

[1ozzy]

Bit of a disaster today, power tool failures, grrrr.

Wont be getting a few products into the shop this week.

Will be spending money on replacements ;-(

Hope you all have a more productive and happier day.

[TonyV]

Morning Ozzy what's gone wrong with your power tools?

[dannyk13]

Good morning all.

[1ozzy]

Hi Tony, I use a variable speed controller with some of them.
It's the controller that passed away, tools work just cant slow them down enough for certain jobs.

How's you today?

Morning Danny

[TonyV]

Hi Danny ok oz don't really understand your problem will it be expensive

[TonyV]

Warmer than I thought it was going to be

[Dee Sa]

morning folks, not often here this time of the day, been up since 3am cant sleep.Hope u all have a good day, wheres Boaty ?

[emmie]

morning guys, its not a happy one i see, i know how you feel...

[1ozzy]

An electronic device I can plug angle grinders into, turn the dial and select the rpm I wish them to spin at. Not required for cutting/grinding metal but with wood carving/sanding attachments very important.

Probably buy another for a few hundred dollars but being in a small remote town could be a few weeks before I get it.

Warmish here today, storm brewing, should get to us by Wednesday.

[1ozzy]

Morning Dee Sa, Emmie, hope both are well.

Boaty's probably cussing a computor ;-/

[TonyV]

Good morning Emmie

[emmie]

with any luck boaty is still asleep with the white tornado at his bedside.

[emmie]

morning tony, how are you, if anything like me half asleep

[TonyV]

Ok oz my router has it's own speed control inside just dial speed in for the bit I am using

[TonyV]

Good thanks Emmie

[1ozzy]

My router is from last century, no built in speed control hence the gizmo is useful.
I can select 16 different speeds on my drill press by moving belts from pulley to pulley, quicker and more speed choices using the electronic gizmo. Most other bits of kit I own, but not all, have built in speed control.

Oh well, it's only money ;-/

[emmie]

does it mean you can't get on with your work??

[TonyV]

I volunteer at a local community garden

For what ever reason some tommy tuckers tried to break into our lodge this week

[emmie]

not nice at all, what a load of bstrds

[1ozzy]

4 projects have come to a halt Emmie, 3 carved burl bowls + 1 table.
Was hoping to get 2 into the shop this week and 2 next week.In 2 weeks time I might be moving large amounts of dirt and cutting stone 40 hours per week.
Wont leave me much time to finish these projects.

[1ozzy]

Hope there wasn't much damage or loss Tony.

If your plods are anything like ours nothing much will be done.

Too minor for them to bother with.
