We have 2 G-Techs and I have to say I find them to be over-rated and under-performing at the best of times.
Of course this may be because the main "driver" of these devices never empties them properly, nor does she ever fully tap out the filters so they just get worse & worse over time until eventually I cannot stand it and do what ought to be done as regular maintenance at every emptying.

Me too.:rolleyes:
I also wash out all the cones on the Dyson.
We also don't use the Hepa filter as, as far as we can tell, it just forms another obstruction to pick up the tiny stuff that doesn't bother either of us. ;)
 
.... The water that was looking like a sparrow's "infinity-pool" on top of my mini barn actually disappeared during the day due to wind & sun evaporation. :)
All refilled now with the current 60MPH winds and rain. :(
I have to comment that the new building is so much quieter than the previous conservatory was in such times. Very peaceful in there. :)
It appears that a phony-war has been declared..... Herself is giving me the coldest of shoulders because I raised my voice when articulating the fact that "that little git is getting no more of my money". :(
I really don't want to escalate things but.... if I have to, I can always get the OTHER half of MY pension paid into MY account instead of the joint account.
That would definitely be incendiary, and a truly nuclear option. All I can say is..."Don't push me" :)

...I went to fit my nice new SanOu 4-jaw chuck to my mini-lathe and was disappointed to find that I could not. :(
The fixing bolts are too long to pass between the rear of the headstock mounting plate and the headstock casting itself.
It will need to be affixed with studs that screw into the chuck and then pass through the plate and nuts placed on the other side.
Ordered a set of SS M8 exhaust studs to do the job. :D
I am still unable to "part-off" on this little lathe. It lacks the rigidity of a Myford or a Boxford or a Colchester and I have managed to stall the damn thing several times as it snatches the parting blade and tucks it under.
The setup seems ok (perfectly on the centreline and using a parting blade to "face" a few thou' end of a rod leaves no "PIP". But the parting action keeps failing on me.
Will I be limited to cutting stuff oversize and then "facing off" down to the required size I wonder? :(

Now, bearing in mind I know 10 tenths of feck all about lathes. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
If the bolts are too long, can't you just cut them down?
If I saw a pic i'd probably understand.
