Re: beading for a new floor
You would have to notch out the back of the beading wit ha chisel to go around it or remove the patch, at a guess its covering a hole or some sort of damage.

Re: Insulating Roof

Unless you can vent from one side to the other dont do ...

Re: Rotary phase converters
The digital convertor runs the motor on the panel saw just like a proper 3 phase supply, it sounds super smooth compared to the rotary, the digital can just stay on idle and use hardly any electric and has all sorts of parameters set on it ie DC braking times. The rotary is noisy and uses juice when...
