I had to cut some 8mm steel yesterday and today. I dusted off my trusty 9"
angle grinder and set to work. I wore out one wheel (Flexovit)and the only
one I had available was an 8" Flexovit (Aussie made). I wore it out in short
order. It's cutting performance was what I would term "satisfactory". About
2cm/minute (best guess). I toddled off to Bunnings this afternoon to buy
some more wheels. Unfortunately, the Flexovit wheels had the wrong size
mounting hole, so I purchased a 5 pack of Trojan (Chinese made) branded
wheels. Hopeless cutting performance. I mean, REALLY BAD. It took about 5
minutes to cut 2cm. The wheel didn't wear down and faster or slower than the
Flexovit. It just hardly cut the metal at all.

What gives?

The technology is hardly state of the art. All wheels are rated for ferrous
metal cutting. Since most of my cutting is done with a 4" grinder, this is
not something I've experienced before. I've not experienced this sort of
poor performance when cutting concrete, bricks and stone. Are all these
Chinese wheels bad, or did I get a bad batch?

The Torjans are going back on Monday. I doubt that I'll buy them again.

On Discovery channel. UK show buying written off cars
and repairing them at the lowest possible cost. On now.

For any gas experts here....

Just bought a EF on gas and it runs like shit. It has an OMVL R90/E
converter and also (don't know whether this is standard, can't recall seeing
it on any other gas installation) has a vaccuum line going to a solenoid
valve at the adjustment valve in the supply line to the ring. Idle is slow
and rough, but just off idle and upto about 2900rpm runs smoothly. Above
that it is obviously running very lean. Any thoughts, or suggestion would be
most helpful.

Before you ask what it runs like on petrol it has at least one very clogged
injector so runs on 5cyls, so kind of irrelevant.

Thanks
James

In the days since there has been reports saying there were between 20
and 100 riders.
Most of these were training for the Olympics on a busy Sydney road
during peak hour.

Why can't they train on the Eastern Creek raceway away from traffic?
Do they really have to be riding on main roads?

Moving at speeds like that, a top-notch braking system is in order and
the Challenger delivers on this.

Written for amusement value, mostly mine.
Wood grows on trees, pick up a dead limb off a gum tree or iron bark,
converts to heat when lit. This would essentially be carbon neutral in a
green way of thinking, ie: it grows absorbing carbon, dies and burns
releasing carbon.
Ethanol begins as cane (or other suitable crop) and has to undergo
cultivation, that is, has to be planted and harvested probably involving
diesel machinery and of course, we should take into account agriculture
produces 16%% of our greenhouse gas (double that of passenger cars, only
8%%).
Of course many suitable limb dropping trees just grow all over the place
without cultivation. Then there is the fermentation process of cane
sugars that gives off CO2 as does my home brew... but at least my ethanol
is made mostly from malt is put to good use, not burned.
Besides if I didn't home brew there would be a small mountain of bottles
having to be recycled each year whereas the bottle recycling occurs
in-house without destroying them or remaking them, simple washing and
sterilising for a greener world :-) In fact I'm so fuck*ng green by doing
this, I could shit out lettuce... but home brewing wasn't even legal
until 1972. ...
