That looks like a handy tool to have.

I have been collecting the range and it hasn’t disappointed me yet, it all lives in a box and stays in the truck. The sds is not a big guns thing but more than adequate for screwsnplugs

That's an absolute steal. I just sold mine for £500, I did put two new feed rollers on it, that cost £80, it did have a rolling base, but no morticing attachment. One went on ebay recently for £681!

It had been on Gumtree on 2 hrs i thought id have no chance as been looking for one for 4yrs but most are abused , this one was with first owner and just used for light work he bought a Wadkin as he needed a bigger machine for a new project. Rollers look good but good that you can still buy them

I thought you were a bit optimistic trying to straighten the box section with that clamp

I'm not, the clamps are to hold the box, the bottle jack at the end was doing the straightening

Yes it does, It broke it went in the skip.

 

[brewdexta]

A new polisher. I did look at second hand bench and pedestal polishers, but for 96 quid delivered for 3/4 hp I thought it was good enough for the occasional use I need it for without buying another project. I've got some decent mops, pigtails and compound coming for it from the polishing shop.

It is the first Starrett piece of equipment I own

My first and last Starrett tool was a brand new made in usa telescoping gauge, felt like it was full of sand...

 

[Tupers]

A long overdue regulator upgrade.

Now I need to figure out if I go for copper or nylon for hard lines?

Know that feeling, also, like that Dohm Wilson vice behind it.
