New power lead Needed! Where from?
« on: May 28, 2016, 12:46:12 pm »
Hi Guys,

Just wondered if anyone has any top tips where to get a new mains lead for our machine.
Accidentally shut the cable in a door.

We have an Airflex storm, but don't really like those plugs. Does anyone know where to get the nice molded plugs
that for example Ashbys use?

Many thanks.



Many thanks.

I chop the supplied power leads off my machines and rotary etc leaving 18" and fit a 16A plug on it.

I've got two 14m 16A leads from Screwfix and fitted a standard 13A 3 pin plug at one end and kept the 16A socket at the machine end.  Very quick to swap if one gets damaged or covered in muck.  The extra length can also be very useful.  Keep meaning to get a 7m one as well but just never get round to it.

You can get a three core eletrical cable in orange from Maplin.
