Decking wall refurb and wind break

Slip some 1/4" thick plastic washers over the bolts before refixing the posts. That'll give a clearance and stop the staining. -
You've got to be comfortable using an angle grinder to then get accurate. I only ever use one now wearing full face shield like a Honeywell Bionic after a few near misses through getting over confident and getting swarf hit me in the face/neck despite wearing normal goggles. A bandsaw is relatively slow and won't burn the paint off. It's like a powered hacksaw tbh. Also has fine teeth that shouldn't catch or rip the work.

DeWalt (which I know you love), do nice 18V portable bandsaws. The issue is they don't appear to come with a stand meaning you'd have to wield it freehand so to speak. 3rd party stands are available or you can DIY one. Without, then it lacks the versatility and accuracy of say my Sheppach 230V one. FEMI do one on a stand I do know.

Travis Perkins, Selco etc are nationwide builders merchants as opposed to say B&Q, Homebase that are diy stores. You'll likely have an independent merchant near you.

No offence but this simplified picture may be better. An imbalance, caused by leakage to earth, gets picked up by the search coil: Pushing the test button brings the resistor in and creates an imbalance. It is critical that the in/out wiring is correct. (Same as with current transformers).

Onoff replied to JohnBishop's topic in General Self Build & DIY Discussion
Called hanger bolts, wood to metal dowels etc. Then you'll want a penny washer and wing nut of the appropriate size -
