This post reminded me.

Can see a use for it.

Went to buy one last week.
I'd looked at so many when I saw an ex demo I clicked buy.
Few days later a biscuit jointer turns up.

Did my homework on them.
Expect to have to make a new perspex plate for marking.
Install a few Packers on the face and look at adding a second post for 2 weaker springs.
Gather the twist from one spring causes binding.
Real shame there's no location lugs on it.

An 8th of the price of the big boys I don't mind some fettling.

Are they a 10mm shank with a flat or something non-standard?

No idea re flats.

 

[WorkshopChris]

If that's the 10mm in the photo then the shank looks to be smaller than 10mm, I was just wondering as the 10mm shank is an industry-standard, we used to use loads in the CNC drilling head and the 32mm multi bore they are available in R&L hand. https://www.wealdentool.com/acatalog/Multiboring_Dowel_29.html
