Onoff

My batteries are older 3Ah clones without level monitors and I might add without the * sign. My understanding of the "new" Makita tools are that its something to do with the 3rd pin that switches the tool off if the voltage falls too low.

Getting on with my mower deck. These curved, internal shields are shot. I think these help direct the grass out the back. All I have is some 1mm steel sheet. I've cut some 70mm wide strip. Next to clean up and MIG on:

I'm looking for something suitable to fit into the back of the adapter like this, to keep an eye on the state of the Li-ion battery I don't want it on all the time just when I press a button. Any thoughts? Cheers.

I've bought an Einhell 36V chainsaw from Amazon Germany: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07FD8BK2D/ref=pe_3044161_185740101_TE_item Going to print a couple of battery adapters to use Makita batteries on it.

Sorry but why not CT1? Or CT1 Power Grab n Bond. I stuck all the tiles to the marine ply sides of my bath.

Well I Aqua Panelled my walls AND tanked them in the wet room corner as well as the whole bathroom floor.

I thought you were well aware of liquid tanking systems? This is the one I used. Forms like a rubber membrane. Yes you just prime it with tile primer and tile onto it.

Why not just liquid tank that strip then tile?

?

Version 1 of the Makita to Rolson 18V Adapter: Version 2 of the Makita to Rolson 18V Adapter with 5mm taken off the height:

Best fit yet for the Makita to Marksman/Champion 18V Adapter:Almost like it was made to fit!

I quite like the Terrain stuff.

A couple more renders.It'll be attached to the base of the grinder by 6 of Screwfix's finest 4mm Gold wood screws!

Could you.....drill some bfo holes like 100mm dia and "flood" the cavity with low expansion foam or eps beads rammed in etc.

I sort of get it! Be nice to have that gap filled up with something "insulaty".

Off down the rabbit hole again! As I think aforementioned, I have a bunch of cheap 18V tools, all different makes, bought on a whim in closing down sales (Focus / Do It All), from Makro etc. I just never use them. Repairing the lawn mower deck and the grinder batteries were just not holding charge. The Nicad / NimH batteries are a SIMILAR shape and some batteries will fit other tools OK. Others will fit and power the tool but the locking clips that hold the battery in won't line up. Others the + and - terminals are switched but you can put the battery in and turn through 180deg then duct tape it in. Honestly a lot of faffing! Vague plan again to make adapters for all of them to take Makita batteries. And so... Using the ill fated Makita battery to Ferrex tool 3D printed parts (the tool turned out to be duff) I'm setting about making an adapter for an 18V Rolson grinder.

Waste oil burner for the workshop surely? ?

What's wrong with overthinking?

...or their next door neighbour's wall. Who was it on here did that? I remember I think @Russell griffiths helped them sort it.

Getting there: Looks better than it is!

Welcome onboard. Someone who knows will be along in a minute.

They have a commercial machine to do this bought in at the static site I'm stood down from. Ref DIY electrolysis, do I recall a problem using stainless steel electrodes? Something about poisonous off gassing?
