  NM Cables leaving panel
Posted by: Mandrake - 12-29-2015, 11:09 AM - Forum: Home Improvement - Replies (4)

The way it's done is just how you have seen. A bushing then a crap load of wires through it. I personally don't like the method but it's how it's done. If you can't find the bushing stop into an electric supply and they will have it. If not just use a 2" pvc nipple.

I like how the Canadians put their panel horizontally. It's not common here and only a few ways it's allowed by code in the us. And it only works well if you are lucky enough to have a basement. Course canada still sells and uses the old federal pacific stab lock panels. They are now white and a different name but still the same thing. Sad as its square d that makes the stuff...

  Lee Valley Rotary Tool Plunge Base?
Posted by: LongLook - 12-29-2015, 08:36 AM - Forum: Woodworking Power Tools - Replies (1)

Santa left one for me at Christmas. I like it! It has a very solid feel to it and is easy to hold and use. The plunge mechanism is smooth and the locking lever and depth stop both work well and hold their setting.

I received the whole kit with the fence and micro adjuster. If your budget allows this is the setup to get. You save @ $30 over buying the individual pieces. The micro adjuster in particular is a real time saver.

In use, I don't detect any flexing or racking of the fence assembly. All of the locking screws are easy to hand tighten and grip the SS rods well. I think Lee Valley did a nice job with this tool. If you like doing stringing and inlay work this would be a very helpful tool to have.

PS I know you're down the road a bit but if you feel like a road trip you're welcome to stop by and try it out.

  face vice install question
Posted by: woodrot - 12-29-2015, 08:02 AM - Forum: Woodworking Hand Tools - Replies (1)

I am installing a 9 inch face vice on workbench. The inner jaw is inset into the bench so that the wood face that will be attached to the cast face will be flush with the side of the bench. Both inner and outer jaws have two holes for mounting the wood faces. The holes are not threaded. My question is what is the normal way to mount the wood face to the inner jaw that is inset into the bench? Just wood screw through the face and into the bench itself, or a nut and bolt? If the latter do I drill the bench to allow for a bolt or nut on the back side? Just wondering how to attach the inner wood jaw face so that won't have to unbolt the whole vice to replace it later if necessary?
thanks
woodrot
