Colin, they obviously cannot tell if you are charging your car or running the electric mower/cooking/storage radiators, etc so the only way will be an annual tax on vehicle's KW rating, much the same as cars now pay 'Road Tax' rated by their emissions. DaveD |

Hi Jimmy, Before I bought a WM18 on the basis that 'the heavier-the better' I had settled on the WM16B for the reasons you mention. Having said that, there are a lot of WM16 users on here with, as far as I can make out, few problems with the plastic gear stripping. DaveD |

'Spotting' or 'snailing' seen inside some old pocket watches and on tooling, etc and when they were made, wasted where they would not be seen was not a part of the philosophy in those days. Whether that was commercially viable is another matter though (unless on a Bugatti, of course) DaveD |

Hopper "Oh, well, what do you expect in a country that still does not have a national standard gauge railway with various states still sticking largely to their individual colonial gauges?" With the previous comments in mind, does he build to 4&3/16th in gauge.? DaveD, France |

Bazyle, I regularly order dog food, 2x15Kg sacks from Thirsk, (I think that's somewhere north of Birmingham...) and they are sent by DPD to SW France, tracked all the way, delivery notification with website to re-arrange delivery and I second you in saluting DPD's service, it's good to see a company get it right. |

AndrewJ, glad you managed to get some gliding in, it was the French National gliding Champs this (holiday) weekend locally but it was crap wx and Sat and Sun were cancelled. Think it was a bit better yesterday. DaveD |

Was at the dermatologist today for routine checkup of psoriasis and with this thread in mind, remarked on his mini-binoculars attached to his spec's and enquired if they were readily available. Yes, said he and showed me the Zeiss marks, they are but at around 2,000Euros - I think I'll be sticking with the Optivisors at DA5 strength ! Another recommendation for them. DaveD |

Thread: S235JR steel |

Thanks for the comments and the info, a friend mentioned a fairly local stockist to check out; will give them a try first. DaveD |

Hi all, looking to order some steel for beginner projects on mill/lathe and note that Blockenstock only seem to offer S235JR in the bar/strip sizes required. Lots of info on S235JR on the web, it's a 'drawn mild steel for construction', but unable to relate it to steels I remember. Has anybody used it and can report on its machinability ? Am looking for similar to EN1A(230M07/S250) free-cutting. Blockenstock will post at reasonable cost to my v.rural location and accept Paypal Thanks. DaveD |
