  • Paul Sellers' Workbench Measurements and Cutting
    PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST NOTE When putting together the cutting list for my workbench, I worked in imperial, the system with which I am most comfortable. I was not happy, however, to then provide direct conversions to metric because to be accurate and ensure an exact fit this would involve providing measurements in fractions of millimetres. When I do work in metric I find it more comfortable to work with rounded numbers, therefore I have created two slightly different sets of measurements. This means that in places the imperial measurement given is not a direct conversion of the metric measurement given. Therefore, I suggest you choose one or other of the systems and follow it throughout. © 2017 – Paul Sellers v2 PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST WOOD QTY DESCRIPTION SIZE (IMPERIAL) SIZE (METRIC) (THICK X WIDE X LONG) (THICK X WIDE X LONG) 4 Leg 2 ¾” x 3 ¾” x 34 ⅜” 70 x 95 x 875mm 1 Benchtop 2 ⅜” x 12” x 66” 65 x 300 x 1680mm 2 Apron 1 ⅝” x 11 ½” x 66” 40 x 290 x 1680mm 1 Wellboard 1” x 12 ½” x 66” 25 x 320 x 1680mm 4 Rail 1 ½” x 6” x 26” 40 x 150 x 654mm 2 Bearer 1 ¼” x 3 ¾” x 25” 30 x 95 x 630mm 4 Wedge ⅝” x 1 ½” x 9” 16 x 40 x 228mm 4 Wedge retainer ⅝” x 1 ½” x 4” 16 x 40 x 100mm HARDWARE QTY DESCRIPTION SIZE (IMPERIAL) SIZE (METRIC) 1 Vise 9” 225mm Dome head bolts (including nuts and washers) for 4 ⅜” x 5” 10 x 130mm bolting legs to aprons 2 Lag screws (with washers) for underside of vise ½” x 2 ½” 12 x 65mm 2 Lag screws for face

  • Edge Trimmer Or Brush Cutter
    Trimmer or brushcutter? Trimmers and brushcutters are in appearance identical products, whether on the look or the usage. Only identical in appearances, though… The trimmer is above all else, intended for finishing jobs. It can be used against walls, around trees or borders, under benches… that is to say everywhere the lawn mower cannot access. The trimmer is therefore an additional tool, used after lawn cutting. It must solely be used to cut off the grass that goes over, as the diameter of the cutting wire is relatively limited. This tool is therefore, aimed at homeowners, which have a medium- sized, well looked after garden. The brushcutter is generally more expensive, as more robust. It can tackle higher grass, brambles, and even small branches. It can be used to maintain larger areas or areas difficult to access with a lawn mower. Its engine is more powerful and the wire cutting is thicker (up to 4 mm in diameter). It is also heavier than a trimmer. The brushcutter presents certain advantages to garden owners or professionals that wish to cut off larger vegetal or look after and maintain larger grounds. Once you have defined which tool answers the best your needs, it is time to think about the accessories and optional specifications that could be useful to you. - Engine power: to define in function of your needs - guard protection : Protect the surrounding plants from the cutting wire when working near by - replacement of the cutting wire : the wire being fragile, it regularly breaks. Some machines allow the replacement of the cutting
