Personally, I would question it, especially if the reason it was cheap was because it was from a far east or third world source ?This is powder coated direct from the manufacturer so who am I to argue??

Anyway, more knobs, more knobs, I'm a k.....

Just one point you need to check. Make sure the wire connections on the leads are secure. There were a few whose wires were not securely fastened to the connectors by the factory, and I did hear of a fire caused by that oversight. I think I got that from a Big Clive vid on youtube.
As to accuracy, well a blind man running for a bus wouldn’t notice, and good enough to be useful.

I saw there is a 400v 2.2kw vfd on prime for 19 quid, might be useful for someone with 3ph supply.

Also water/gas quick disconnects. I have bought another pair.

Postie was busy this morning, 5 small parcels.
2 new filters for my karcher vacuum cleaner ( normally changed every 6 months, in between take it off and tap against inside of base),
transfer punch set - for marking holes on power hacksaw trolley,
elbows to change wiring on power hacksaw electrics box,
2 metal discs to be cut into semi's for mounting brackets for power hacksaw trolley - stops me ripping holes in any bags that get nudged when moving the saw,
belt for Tom Senior gearbox - for x axis power - had this milling machine for over 2 years and not used it - will now to cut discs.
Along with a 7/16" clamping kit for the Tom Senior - arrived yesterday and in workshop already.
SWMBO is threatening all kinds trouble if I spend any more this month, mind you, I did order her new garden shed - but they are so busy it will be about an 8 week wait.

I have what is probably the same generic cheap set. They are labelled and boxed as metric but they aren’t. Looked at a few before I bought one and they are all the same. Probably the same factory!I have a set of transfer punches [THESE] on my eBay 'Watch' list [might be metric ones if I go ahead] so would be interested in how yours perform.
Trouble is, I have too many things on that list.......
The tips on mine are not mega hard but it’s only a marking punch.
just my 2p

I just need a set to mark the metal, I can then get a proper centre punch and hammer to it.

I think that’s all you’re supposed to do.
did consider making a set but couldn’t be arsed.
