Electrical Earth - Why Do We Need It?

This article will deal with the electrical earth arrangements in a domestic dwelling in the UK. Contrary to a lot of peoples notions the earth is very necessary.

Milwaukee Cordless

Why do we have an earth in our houses? To answer that requires a little explanation of how electricity reaches our homes and how fuses work.

Milwaukee Cordless

Electricity is generated at power stations or similar installations,
wind farms, hydro-electric turbines etc. These plants generate the electricity which is the transformed up to around four hundred thousand volts and distributed around the country via the national grid.

It is easy and cost effective to transport electricity at these incredibly high voltages but obviously it once again has to be transformed back down to 230 volts for use in the house.

At the transformer the centre of the winding is connected via rods or mats, to the earth. This earthing of the winding provides a reference point, nominally zero volts. Electricity is then supplied at 230 volts to this reference.

To be useful electricity requires a circuit. The electricity must flow from a source, through the device whatever it may be, kettle, iron cooker etc. and return to that source.

To protect the cable in which it flows the amount of electricity must not exceed the capability of the cable. This would be an overload in the long term, in the short term a fault in the cable or any device attached to it will cause a large amount of electricity to flow and it is this that blows the fuse.

The amount of electricity needed to blow a fuse is determined by the rating of the fuse itself, i.e. a current of around 1.6 times the fuse rating is required to operate a re-wirable fuse so a 20A fuse will need approximately 32 amps.

To facilitate the quick and efficient operation of the fuse the electrical earth provides a quick route back to the source, that is the transformer. The better the return path, the more electricity flows and the quicker the fuse operates.

The circuit that the live conductor and the earthing conductor form is called the earth loop. The earth loop is measured with a special tester and must conform to certain constraints for the variety of fuses available.

The requirements for each type of fuse, properly called a protective device, are laid down in the wiring regulations. The electrical earth therefore, is extremely important for the safety of any user of electrical system. The absence of the earthing conductor means that any fault on the system will not operate the fuse until you or one of your family becomes that missing part.

Does The Value of The Festool Kapex KS 120 Justify The Cost?

The Festool Kapex KS 120 sliding compound miter saw, with its high-tech look, is the most expensive 10" sliding compound miter saw out there. There's no shortage of high quality 10" slide compound miter saws available for less than half the cost. Such as the Makita LS1016L, which is not a saw to sneeze at.

Milwaukee Cordless

There is still merit to buying the Festool, however, even considering the price differences. For example, it comes with a three year warranty that you won't find with most other miter saws. For another, it comes with features no other brand has even thought of yet.

Milwaukee Cordless

Now you have to ask yourself if the high price of the Festool Kapex 120 is justifiable to you. If you're a finish contractor working in high-end home construction or doing exclusive remodels, it's entirely possible that it is. Do you want your work to stand out as the best around? Then you need the best tools.

The Impression You Leave Builds Your Reputation

The first thing a homeowner who is spending thousands of dollars for a remodel of their home notices is the detail quality of your work. Does everything fit with no gaps showing? That's the quality of your work being showcased. The same goes for the prospective buyer of a new house.

The second thing the remodel customer is going to notice is how clean you've left the place, especially the space where you've been doing your work.

On both counts, the Festool Kapex KS 120 is unbeatable. Yes, you can do some good work with another brand of miter saw, but the Kapex will make it quite a bit easier for you to meet your customer's expectations. And up to 91% of the sawdust will be cleaned up while you work if you mate it up with one of Festool's dust extractors. Think of the time you'll save! (You might be able to connect a shop vacuum to the Kapex if you're not ready to invest in one of their extraction systems yet.)

The point is, when you produce top-notch work and leave the area nice and neat, you'll make a remarkable impression. That makes for a terrific reputation.

And when you start building a reputation like that, as the carpenter who does great work AND leaves the place clean, you'll begin to get some solid recommendations. And what does a good reputation allow you to do with your future bids? You'll be able to make more money.

I've talked a couple of times about the advanced features of the Festool Kapex KS 120 and now I feel obliged to mention at least one of them and how it will benefit you. Two adjustable lasers cast beams on both sides of the blade. Would that help you make precision cuts or what?

RollerAid Knee Walker - What on Earth is a Rolleraid Knee Walker?

Rolleraid knee walker...after I say these words most people look at me with strange looks on their faces. It's not everyday that you see somebody with a RollerAid or other rolleraid knee walker, so I don't blame them for being "confused" when I tell them the name.

Milwaukee Cordless

Most of the time people say something like, "That's the coolest thing I've ever seen. Where did you find it?!"

Milwaukee Cordless

I even have to let people take a spin on it before they leave me alone!

So what exactly is a knee walker and why has it helped me and thousands of others?

Well a knee walker or device is like a little knee scooter you put your knee on and you steer around as you push with your other leg. It is used for lower leg and foot injuries for people who are sick and tired of crutches.

In fact these little leg caddy type devices are very helpful and incredibly easy to use, but most people don't know about them. In fact even if you know about them there are only a couple places to rent or purchase one.

So if your doctor recommends a knee walker or RollerAid make sure to check one out. Most insurance companies will cover the cost to purchase or rent one and they can be found online and shipped anywhere in the United States.

Before choosing which device is right for you, you may want to do some research about how adjustable and mobile you need your knee walker to be. Some units steer (highly recommended) and some units don't (cheaper but less mobile and a pain in the rear).

So do some research and make sure to try one of these crazy new devices while you laugh at your crutches. I promise you will thank me!

A Tool For Every Job - About the Thickness Planer

While the natural rigidity of wood makes it the ideal material for countless construction and carpentry projects, its natural structure also causes it to slightly warp or bow after being cut into boards. This tendency results in boards that do not have perfectly parallel opposing sides. Thickness planers are tools that create smooth, parallel surfaces by removing thin layers on each side of a board. Running a board through a planer makes it better suited for projects that require lumber of uniform thickness. Planers can also be used to smooth rough surfaces and to reduce the thickness of a board to a desired size. The basic operation of a thickness planer involves setting the height of the blade and feeding a board through the machine until the desired thickness is reached.

Milwaukee Cordless

Thickness planers can be stationary or portable. Stationary planers are much larger, and have the benefits of more stability and a greater capacity than smaller portable ones. Portable thickness planers, on the other hand, provide more versatility because they can be transported and put to work on projects outside of the woodshop. Portable planers are better suited for use in smaller work areas and on job sites. Some planers are designed to be operated with one hand if needed, such as one handed planer from Festool tools.

Milwaukee Cordless

Utilizing a dust collection system is advisable due to the amount of dust produced by planers. Other safety precautions to bear in mind when operating planers are protecting your eyes with appropriately rated safety goggles, wearing clothing that is not too loose and using proper ear protection. Keeping the machine and blades in good working condition will contribute to safest operation and the best results from a thickness planer.

As with all electrical power tools, reading and adhering to all manufacturer recommendations is strongly advised.

Finding the Best Cordless Reciprocating Saw to Suit Your Needs

A good cordless reciprocating saw is as universal a power tool as one could hope to find. Improving the lives and working results of both industrial craftsman and Average Joes, a cordless recipro saw will take any cutting project to new and absolutely professional level. The reciprocating saw is a hugely popular and powerfully awesome tool and by consequence, there are many options to choose from. Because finding the one that best fits you can sometimes be a challenge, I've put together a short list of the best cordless recipro saws in the business.

Milwaukee Cordless

For the most heavy-duty users and those who simply require the most high-quality cordless power tools, Makita's BJR181 cordless reciprocating saw offers craftsmen the best of two worlds; with ridiculous power and a surprisingly lightweight and compact design, the saw is a perfect cutting machine. Utilizing Makita lithium-ion battery technology and an optimum battery charging system, the tool has vastly extended work-time with 2x as many charge cycles; Makita is known for their superior motor quality as well, and the BJR181's high-torque motor, delivering 50% faster cutting with a 1-1/8" stroke and 2,900 SPM, never fails to impress. The tool weighs a mere 8.1 lbs, the saw is ergonomically compact and balanced to exert constant, even pressure upon your working materials. Two built-in L.E.D. lights to keep your work areas illuminated, and the saw is simple to use with fast, one-handed, tool-less blade changes and shoe adjustments. For simple serviceability this recipro saw also has externally accessible brushes ensuring the inevitable brush replacement is a far less frustrating process. This BJR181 reciprocating saw kit costs about 0 - 0, but, offering cordless portability, the strength of a Makita motor, lithium ion technology, and the big power to saw through, well, anything, this high-performance recipro saw is worth every penny (tool only: BJR181Z: 5 - 5).

Milwaukee Cordless

For a superior quality lighter-duty recipro saw, Bosch's CRS180K offers a perfectly compact size and the lightweight design to make awkward, overhead, and tight-space cutting applications far simpler. Even as you cut, the saw's two-speed variable speed trigger ensures you can match speeds to each application and their varying demands - this also allows you to ease into your cutting materials without any kickback. Litheon technology lends big power and lightweight to the tool for simple industrial cutting, and a 1-1/8" stroke allows you to remove more material with each stroke of the blade. Bosch's Lock-Jaw blade holder provides ridiculously easy blade changes, and with strikingly simple overall operation, you and this saw can work fast together to chomp through the most industrial materials with ease and unrelenting Bosch power. In the end, using the CRS180K, your indoor and outdoor cutting chores feel more like a fun and professional accomplishment - you'll be searching, saw in hand, for limbs and pipes to cut rather than tucking your chore list under a couch cushion or into the bottom of your sock drawer. The CRS180K kit costs about 5 - 0, but you may also buy the tool alone (model number: CRS180B) for around 5 - 0.

Hitachi's CR18DL reciprocating saw is a high-performance industrial tool at a price that is difficult to resist; ranging in price from about 0 - 0 (single tool: CR18DLP4: - 0), the CR18DL is both exceptional and economical. Utilizing lithium ion technology, the tool offers extended run-time from a lightweight, non-dwindling power source, and the saw is triple sealed to keep itself protected from the dust and debris generated during use. The tool's ergonomic shape and heat/slip resistant grip ensure comfortable operation during even extended or awkward use, and a fan-cooled motor keeps the tool reliable and performing at its best. Also utilizing a tool-less blade changing system with accurate depth-of-cut control, your blades will last longer and deliver consistently precise cuts. Additionally, because the tool is cordless, it is also highly portable, and with a universal charger and a tool body compatible with a variety of batteries, the tool is conveniently versatile as well. The universal charger charges all Hitachi 7.2v - 18v batteries, and with lithium ion, NiCd and NiMH charging platforms, it ensures your battery arsenal is always fully charged. The tool's body is also compatible with all Hitachi lithium ion, NiCd, and NiMH 18v batteries to ensure that that arsenal is always put to good use, and lastly, but certainly not least, the tool is covered with Hitachi's 10 year lithium ion tool warranty, a warranty that vastly surpasses any other manufacturer promising that this portable powerhouse will be cutting inside, outside, and everywhere in between for years and years to come.

Ultimately, one if these cordless recipro saws is certain to meet your criteria - with portable power and industrial strength these three tools are designed to deliver the best results with the greatest efficiency, and most overall convenience.

The Reciprocating Saw - Everything You Need To Know!

Also called an oscillating saw, the reciprocating saw performs just like a jigsaw. Contractors, remodelers and property owners use these saws for a wide range of reasons such as effective slicing through sheetrock, ply board, plumbing, and timber flooring. With regards to the cutting edge, these tools are strong enough to cut through nail-embedded material. They are not known for making good, precise cuts, however, so they should not be used where the cut will be noticeable in the completed job.

Milwaukee Cordless

The Features

Milwaukee Cordless

They may be attached to a power cord or wireless, based on the design. They have a large, cutting blade that can be swapped out based on the type of objects being cut. These saws are developed to be operated with two hands and also have a back handle with which allows for easy use on most upright surfaces.

Different Types

Although it usually represents a highly effective, power tool such as the Sawzall, the phrase "reciprocating saw" can be used to represent any power operated saw that uses a back and forth movement while cutting. Scroll saws, jigsaws, and sabre saws, may also be regarded as a reciprocating saw. These tools are usually less highly effective than a common "cipro saw", but because of their portability and accuracy they are more appropriate for the small precise jobs.

Things To Consider

These tools are great pieces of equipment for doing challenging structure work such as making an opening in the ceiling, wall, or flooring, cutting through sheetrock or gutting a room. They are not the best saws for doing delicate or precise work though. When considering one, thought should be given to the need for capabilities such as multiple speeds, attached cords or wireless, easy blade change, and convenience of shoe modification.

Warning

A "cipro saw" is a highly powerful cutting instrument. The edge is incredibly sharp and can result in highly uncomfortable cuts if managed wrongly. Always dress in robust gloves, steel-toed boots and protective eyeglasses when handling a reciprocating saw. Always remove the saw from its electrical outlet before attempting to change the blade. Never try to cut any object when using only one hand to hold the saw. Lastly, always make sure the electrical current is turned off to any object you are attempting to cut through. You should now have a good general knowledge of the reciprocating saw, its uses, capabilities, and dangers, as well.

Basic Types of Ladders For Every Purpose

The market offers various types of ladders depending on the nature of the job that a user is required to do. Ladders are considered as tools used even in ancient times. It has proven to have helped ancient people escape during invasions and even during their harvests. The use of ladders has been passed through centuries and is now considered as one of the basic household and industrial tool. Technological advancements paved the way for the development of the different types of ladders. So, gone are the days when we only use the traditional type of ladder that is made of rope or wood.

Milwaukee Cordless

Safety and ease of use for the workers are two major factors that pushed ladder companies to be innovative in developing several types of ladders. These companies have identified that you cannot just use one type of ladder to cater to both home and industrial environment. Doing so means putting the workers in great risk of falling and even shortening the usability of a ladder.

Milwaukee Cordless

There are several types of ladders available. Your safety in working on ladders start with the type of ladder that you have selected. Each type have their own different functions. Here are basic information that you should be familiar with before purchasing a ladder.

A-Frame Ladder

This is the most simple type of ladder and works best for home use. If you are just going to reach high storage areas or hang some decors on the wall, this ladder is enough to help you. This type usually has wide steps for your footing stability. It also comes with a folding feature for easy storage. The cost of this ladder is affordable and can already provide you with the elevation you need to perform tasks inside or outside your home.

Platform Ladder

This ladder is mostly preferred by painters, decorators and electricians. This is because it has an extra space where a workman can place his tools or even cans of paint. Saving them from having to go up and down to get the stuff they need. There are two types of a platform ladder. One type is for household use where the platform is mounted on top of a single ladder. The other type comes with a platform that is placed on top of two ladders. This type is commonly used for commercial purposes.

Telescoping Ladder

This type of ladder is one of the most technologically advanced. This ladder is divided into different lengths so that it can adjust to the height requirement you need. This type can go as highs as 20 feet making it good to use for outdoor functions. A telescoping ladder usually has a secure lock that keeps the extended section from moving while in use. With its flexibility, a regular 6 foot telescoping ladder can cost a minimum of USD 200.

Fire Escape Ladder

A fire escape ladder serves as an alternative exit in case of emergency evacuations. Unlike other ladder types, this ladder is not used regularly. This is more of a precautionary measure rather than routine use.

You have to know what you will mostly use the ladder for so that you can wisely choose among these types of ladders. Careless selection of any type of ladder may just lead to more expense and worst injury or death.

Plastering Tools to Make Your House/Building Look Good

It is always a nice feeling to hear somebody saying nice words about your house or building, but it is really a hard thing to make someone say good about your house or building. You need to be disciplined about the day to day activities of your house and you cannot just relax and stay idle. It is really a hard work to keep your house look good and well organized. If someone says bad about the look of your house, you will certainly feel bad and would also affect your self confidence.

Milwaukee Cordless

One of the best methods is painting and plastering your house to make it look attractive. First you have to plaster the walls and ceilings of your house and then you have to apply a paint which is good looking and matching. It is also a good idea to apply stucco to your house with any plastering tools or stucco tools available. Stucco is good for the exterior of your house, but to plaster the interior of your house stucco is not recommended. The interior of your house should be given plain plastering and that looks really good.

Milwaukee Cordless

You can hire someone who is expert in handling plastering tools or either you can rent a plastering tool and do the plastering yourself. The most important type of plastering tools are the stucco sprayers which is being used by a large number of building owners. But you need to learn the basics of how to plaster your house with stucco in a decent way. If you don't know that, then you would be making a mess out of that.

The major advantage of using a plastering tool is that it reduces the time required for the labors to paste the stucco manually onto the walls of your building. It would also save you a lot of money that goes in the form of labor charge. You could also allocate your workers to engage in other house maintenance activities in the mean time. So both time and money are saved by using a stucco sprayer and these two are the most important thing that makes one happy and turn towards using such a tool.

If you have a big building or house, then it is not a good idea to rent a plastering tool. It would be better if you purchase one in this case but if you have a small house or building then it is better to go for a rented one. You can purchase it from any store or hardware store available near you and if it is not available nearby any stores, then you can purchase it online. You just need to do a good research on the internet regarding a stucco sprayer or plastering tools and you would be getting a wide list of such tools. You just need to check the product specifications and if the product specifications satisfies your needs, then don't hesitate to buy one.

What is a Woodworking Router and What Can it Do For Me

So what does a router do and how to use a router.

Milwaukee Cordless

I thought I'd first take a look at the word router and this originates from a verb to rout. Rout is also a noun but this doesn't relate to our woodworking router. The definition of the verb appears to be to rummage or to hollow out or furrow, as with a scoop, gouge, or machine. So perhaps my definition of a woodworking router would be to gouge out or machine out some part of a piece of wood. This could simply be to make a groove or round the edges of a piece of timber.

Milwaukee Cordless

The first routers were of course hand operated and were similar in appearance to a flat wood plane but having interchangeable narrow blades rather than the large flat blade. These blades would be shaped to make a grove or round the edge of the timber. The electric router was introduced in the first half of the last century but in fact was a very different product for achieving similar results and relied on a spinning cutter and was known as the spindle router. A company called Elu developed some of the first products and I remember having a quality Elu router myself. I believe Elu is now part of the Makita power tool and Makita router range of products.

The first electric routers had a fixed base and subsequent routers called plunging routers were sprung such that the spinning blade would not protrude beyond the based as the weight or pressure was removed. These types of router were moved over the wood area. The alternative method of use is to mount a router to the underside of a router table and then move the wood over the router and maintaining a fixed position for the table router. This is ideal for a workshop environment and lends itself to additional safety features.

The handheld plunging routers can be used (should be used) with a variety of controls. The base of the router can be fitted with a sidebar device to ensure that the cutting blade remains a constant distance from the edge of the wood you are routing. For example you may wish to cut a groove 4 mm deep and 3 mm from the edge of your piece of wood. The depth can be set to the maximum 4 mm and the sidebar guide will ensure that the groove is not made more than 3mm from the edge of the wood. You could achieve the same results by clamping a straight edge over the surface of the wood to be machined and keep the electric router pressed firmly against the straight edge.

Router cutters or router bits come in many different shapes. The different shapes allow you to use your router to cut square, vee and rounded grooves. There are more router bits to enable round, angular and decorative edge finishing. An edge finishing router bit has a spinning guide at the base of the cutter that prevents the blade cutting deeper into the timber. Generally speaking buying router bits can be a little of a lottery because you want the best bits but don't want to spend a fortune. Unless you need a large selection of router bits for professional work I'd suggest buying a set of router bits with most of the shapes you could ever envisage using. You'll probably also require 1 or 2 straight cutting bits and you may wish to pay a little more money to get the best you can afford if you are to use these bits frequently. For example you may wish to have a 3-4 mm straight cutting blade for groves and rebating edges of your chosen timber. A larger 8-10mm is always useful for taking a little timber off a wider area. Cheaper blades will soon lose their cutting edge and could scorch or burn the timer if you are not careful.

You can choose a router from a variety of manufactures notably Makita, Bosch, Dewalt, Festool, Milwaukee and Porter-Cable. A router is still very much a corded power tool and is often required for long periods of use so there hardly any cordless routers. The Ryobi ZRP600 Trim Router is an 18v cordless device but very much intended for lighter trim work. Many of the manufacturers also supply factory reconditioned routers and router combo kits.

Once you've mastered the use of a router you'll be amazed how many tasks can be improved by using a router.
