thebrokendoll 9188 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 21911 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...

ewerk 30535 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 33097 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...
