thebrokendoll 7085 Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 so, to simplify..... the above machine generally makes lengths of round things (generally steel) smaller round, sometimes with angles and threads and stuff like that on it. it's fucking heavy and has got wires in which could make you go hot and stand your hair on end if they're not in their right places. it's the latter few bits I could probably do with some help with! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19737 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 It’s a what now? It looks like something a proper bloke would know his way around, which explains my ignorance. If you need a good kale smoothie recipe, I’m your man. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd pretty much decided that the above method was the route to take and that I'd press gang someone i know to do the wirey bits, I've got a healthy aversion to suddenly turning charred and crispy, have had since not taking a blind bit of notice what I was being taught for a couple of hours every tuesday afternoon at tech at the back end of the 70s. consequently I was happy to embrace the cross union squabbling over what fitters and electricians were allowed to touch of each others jobs..... ie nowt! @Monkeys Fist I reckon it's fucking heavy although I can strip down the guards and swarf container etc first. once I get it homeI've got a two and half ton pallet truck to move it about, it's getting something with the height to get it off a load loader I'm struggling with! @Dr Gloom what the fuck's a kale smoothie?! ps.... @PaddockLad how much should I be paying for one of them magic boxes? they seem to vary from £60 to £300?

ewerk 26188 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Can you not get it transported on a tail lift truck? They should come with a pallet truck so you wouldn't even have to worry about that. Also, how much shit can one man whittle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get hold of the ATO (other suppliers are available ) tech department with the kW & amps of the motor, tell them what you’re proposing and they’ll spec one for you mate. You can try direct from the website or you’ll possibly need to approach them via a wholesaler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 26612 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 So who's reading this thread in the office/working from home, drinking a can of pop, (not peas, they're in 'tins') not really understanding the advice but then crushing the can and saying 'Yeah' in the style of a deep African American voice before checking their emails? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
