SOHC Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I have found those cheap die grinders are more air hungry than better ones, I have a bluepoint one that uses half the air of a cheap China one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it to have been a Desoutter made under licence. When it eventually wore out no-one locally could supply a genuine variable speed model. Finished up with a slightly bigger cheapo on which I've played around with the inlet valve sizing to make it slightly more variable speed. Best way to slow it down is still to reduce the line pressure. 10CFM V twin compressor can keep up with it at least for the bursts of work between looking and measuring I do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Where can 3/8” vacuum hose be sourced? typical culprits don’t have anything in stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 For booster or something else? Booster will need to be the certain spec one. Is 10mm not suitable? I got all my hose from Blackwoods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valiant Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 3/8 air brake hose works well. You can get it from truck parts shops. @h4ndWayne. Get some Chinese cylinder heads too, become the one stop 1kz shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4nd Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Ohhh, no no no no. My list contains better than new spec top-o-the line Nichicon or better caps. ... unless you're implying the new China heads are all that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Got about 8 years out of my last Chinese head, till my slackness about getting the injectors rebuilt bit me in the ass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighLUX Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I wanna give my fireplace a tart up, im guessing the current coating is baked on enamel or powder coating? Whats the best way prep it before repainting with Hi temp enamel? Its only the outside panels not the firebox itself so getting hot but not direct heat hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Bit of a ling post, but when i'd touch up gas fires, i'd just clean the surface and spray away. A few light coats. It either worked fine, or people never chased me up to say it didn't last. Should be pretty similar temps i'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
