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

Something plastic and not cast iron.

I thought for a second you'd had a weak turn.

No lol....just getting in preparation for another monster load of cast iron.

The gear selector plate looks very modern.

There is a date plate on it. Its similar to one of these.

I've finally received the final part of my DRO from Banggood. It has come in three separate packages a few weeks apart. I never have much luck with Banggood. Stuff seems to end up out of stock or never leaves China. It is rarely a quick or trouble free purchase unless it is a small cheap item.

I went for this model as it appeared to be the same one that Myfordboy from Youtube uses and it seemed OK for him. It comes with covers and fittings. I've switched it on, plugged in a scale and it seems to work OK. Just need to fit it to my Marlow mill now.


The tracking on the last package to arrive (The long scale) shows it was shipped from China to Belgium and then onto the UK. Maybe that's why I've been lucky to avoid any official interference to any of the three packages along the way. Might coming via the EU rather than direct from China help?

Not sure, but not for long in any event.

Are these the ones that come flat packed and you weld together yourself?

 

[nickk]

Yes though I bought them already welded,time constraints decided that.

Hard to beat for the price. There’s all sorts of add-ons for these rolly toys; like a back hoe, front loader, trailer, bowser etc but I thought the first job could be an electric conversion. I have a 14.4v Ikea drill I was saving for such a thing.

Dog.





Dog was found in a hedge.

So dog had a walk home.



It has shades of our @barking mat.



Studding and Thread Lock was ordered Tuesday, arrived to day.
I do like good service.
The Nuts, washers and brass Cups were "Liberated" from a friends workshop.

Oh Yes new , clip on Web cam for the laptop.

Just arrived today, didn’t need it but that’s never got in the way of buying a new toy before.

I'm about to order one of the Banggood DROs too. Did the scales come with any universal brackets etc?

@Gan gan 123
I have had one of those for ages and it's so handy! I used mine the other day to cut the rest of the old back box off the o/h's car, couldn't get the 4.5' in as it was way too big!
Really useful little tool has many many uses!

What size discs does it take? 3"? or worn out 4.5" ones

This is the contents of the box Eddy. One bit of angle bracket for you to cut up! They send a free plug adaptor with every box though, whether it needs it or not.

I expected to be sourcing/making my own brackets anyway. The body of my mill tapers in the vertical so there is going to a bit stand offing and packing out to get things vertical. I have no shortage of scrap ally to make something due to tig practice at the moment.

Acquired this Heuer vice from the rig we’re working on. The workshop is getting bolted shut and someone said if you need anything go ahead. There was a large 3ph Creusen bench grinder on its stand but 3ph and the logistics of getting it ashore was a no go. The vice came apart and went in 2 bags. 120mm wide with a 125mm throat and adjustable base.

Hi Eddy it takes 3” discs as far as I know seems like a 16mm bore so a 4.5” won’t fit without getting an adapter made. The discs that came with it look rubbish but I bought some 1mm ones for an air cutoff tool so I hope they will fit. Graham.

 

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

I did the same...they are a tight fit but you can screw them on the threaded nut fine.

Handy little tool...saves the blades on my oscillating tool.

 

[Blake's 7]

Unfortunately, they’re scrap unless you know a guy who is good with boards. I’ve got one sat in a box somewhere.

I finally got around to putting a plug on it and the three process LEDs on the front light up and stay on indefinitely as seen in the photo below.

What does it press?

anything it wants to!
