Today I acquired...........

[m_c]

Looks pretty much identical to mine aside from the branding.

I'd guess they're probably all coming out the same factory, built to whatever spec and with whatever logo the buyer wants.

I wonder if it runs on grbl, if it does then lightburn is a possibly software upgrade (totally not worth it with a mini diode but as I have a 50w and a 40w running on it it could be fun to add to the stable)

It comes with 3 versions of the software for windows, but I don't think it's compatible with GRBL.

I've bought it to put logos on some handles, and the supplied software will do that, so I'm not going to start experimenting. Given the cost, if it breaks, I'll just buy a new one.

MY HAMMMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See I knew it was true what they all said.

If the shaft is loose on the head remove and clean it up then refit.

Wipe the shaft with Meths and wire wool. The grade depends on how bad it is.

If there are scrapes and dings, use sand paper to remove the roughness. A small rough patch will give you a blister.

When the shaft is how you like it.
A good oil will see you right, drizzle oil into the head as well. Or steep the head in oil.


What den did you find my lost hammer in?

Now Now, lets be grown ups here, let not have a temper tantrum, like some/one/many do on here. Then go runing to a Mod.

We can easily solve this.

You give it to me.
I clean it up.
You pay the P&P and I take it to @Parm

 

[angellonewolf]

the hammer looks near unused as the head is clean

the shalf is fine a couple of nicks but apart from that was just unloved in a shed

The white spirit will do.


But I need more hammers.

But now you can clean up the stones and use them on the wood chisels you have to get.

I can't give one to @Parm For the reason it would mean I have less.

I have stated in the past:
I want more.

But I think one/many/some may report you for being mean and picking on members.

 

[angellonewolf]

I've got 1 or 2 not as meny as you but

I've got 1 or 2 not as meny as you but

I have a few.
But we will not have a debate about them.

That's a decent roll you got there.
Do you have a honing guide?

 

[angellonewolf]

Do you have a honing guide?

Yea my eye and as I'm getting older (not that old yet)I clean them every few uses now so there ok and can be used for what I need

 

[angellonewolf]

The roll is only a leather of the bay of thieves but done me ok

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I used to be able to do a decent edge on a chisel and a plane by hand.
But now the left arm has issues, I find I wobble and the edge is not as good as it could be.

But if I am restoring a plane or a chisel for myself or MIS a guide is needed.

 

[angellonewolf]

Used to ride to work 15 miles in total and then plaster a wall at home work until 10 and do the same next day cant do that now

 

[angellonewolf]

Ok oil what ools I've not got much apart from gt85 or car oil or wax could now throw it over to the otherhalf dad as hes got lots of oils polish etc might be a better bet

I found a new toy on facebook marketplace. It’s had a single phase motor swapped in and it’s complete. The only problem is it spins backwards so it’s time to play electrician.

Those wires are only for the starter/overload/no-volt release, you'll have to dig into the box on the motor itself... snap a photo of the wires and terminals and someone'll tell you which wires / links to swap!

Good grief children! Behave!

If you don’t play nice, I’ll take away all your hammers, and add them to the ‘Big Box of Hammers’ box I have.

I think you need a "big box of big hammers" and a "bigger box of bigger hammers"
