Thanks,

switch/valve.  Generally I can press the air valve and paint won't
start to flow until I start bringing the valve back.  Anyone have an
idea as to why this might be happening?  Please don't tell me the tip

Gear systems can be used to lower RPM, thus increasing torque, correct? If
so, can they be used the other way round? For example if I had a high toque
motor, I could lower the torque and increase the RPMs?

For various complicated reasons I need to braze (or silver solder) two
5 metre lengths of 6mm copper pipe next to each other to form a
'figure of eight' cross-section, these pipes will then be coiled into
a helix of about 4" diameter..

end mills are a set of 10 for £33.95 (4,5,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20mm).
