Stuff you have made today

[Hood]

Not sure if that would have been the case on carbide Inserts as most were made in the USA or Israel although possibly it may have been on the raw carbide coming in from China or somewhere.

Eventually got around to making some extensions for some boring heads I have. All needed for a job I am currently doing. Silly size bores like 30,15mm , roughly 170mm down from the top of the part. Need to make a long threadmilling holder next.

Nope. Not my lathe. At a friends place who I subcontract for. Besides, my lathe has a turret and a tool changer

I knew your new(to you ) one had but thought that was also yours. You got the new one up and running yet?

Not yet . It’s in a unit that was leased by a friend. We have a gentleman’s agreement that I will take over the lease and move in once he has moved out. Had hoped for a January start, but it over ran. Not really an issue. It’s a good friend and I didn’t want to pile undue pressure on him to clear it. He also has a business to run. I signed the lease last week. Take over from March. Want to put up a mezzanine floor first .So will still be awhile.

....it is silly when every thing else is metric. Bt40 holders with pullstuds. All turned out of En24T

I made a trough for my grit blasting cabinet today, from scrap and part of an old 8' square blasting trough my mate used as a roof for his kids Wendy house, ended up 6 foot long

What sort of boring heads are those

Two of them are made by a Japanese company, Nikken. The other two,( that I prefer) are Iscar ITS-Bore

Is that the model with the on off switch rather than a pull trigger? i had one that was a bit dangerous.

To misquote Pratchett's Death*, "It's an angle grinder, it's meant to be dangerous".

Unlike modern tools that require three double-jointed hands to operate - of course they're safe, nobody can get them switched on. Sorry, pet hate.

If he did, you're going to have to change your username.

Nope it has the classic DeWalt style trigger
I think that every single tool can be dangerous
A 32mm combination spanner can be way more dangerous in my hands if intended to use it on someone who won't pay me for a job ,in this case you're angle grinder is safer.

Have you tried to plug them in the main before?
