Nice, what Powders did it come with. All mine are for building up cutting edges, tooling dies etc.

Luckily it’s got the proper rototec powders for shafts.
This torch is not like the Stubbs torch, which is basically the same as a Eutectic super jet. This torch is only any good for doing rotating shafts.

Few bits found in a skip, on a site. So I asked if I could raid I was told:
"Yes, but you should of seen the tools we dumped last week!!"
Small oil can and a set of small adjustable spanner.
A small battery drill.
A few bits.
A 1960's Pifco Car lamp.
Then the modern version.
LED rechargeable lantern, can be recharge via a USB lead.
60 years difference.
But what worried me was the word "Dental" on the suggested uses.

I know, we can be square friends...I also have one of those
I’m doing the first three days of Clive’s course, so that should give me an idea of the basics of scraping it in.
Brilliant bargain. Don't get those much these days.Twas only a 4 hour round trip, but worth it.The QCTP I think is a Bison tool post, all the other copies seem to have either round or rounded off edges to the piston, 4 no name holders, 4 of the holders are Bison 4494/6-48 (T00). The Jacobs rubberflex I couldn't find the nose for the chuck, so will have to make one. Most of the cutters are new as well.
Oh and the mill appears to be in VGC for it's age
What fitting is the rubberflex chuck? And where is the lathe to go with it?

The "J R Hartley" quest for a bolster and reasonably priced tooling starts now.....
The guy went back to Romania with his wife as they would have more family support for their new baby. I think he just bought and sold bits, unfortunately no lathe
. The next door neighbor was asked to sell these off as he couldn't store them so I was lucky.Rubberflex chuck is a 96-F1 but I couldn't find the nose to go with the chuck

Or "Hunton" bolster ?
Indeed so.
You are the flypress expert. Can you identify it? No 1 or 2 I assume?

Absolutely. The thing that is a mystery to me is that flypresses are reasonably common; it's possible to buy one for sensible money. But the "off the peg" bolsters to take the punch dies are as common as rocking horse sxxt and are invariably subject to crazy asking prices. e.g.

I have a half machined (from steel billet) No. 1 Hunton bolster clone which has been in a half finished state under my bench for a while now. Doubtless, the day I actually finish it, A Hunton item will turn up at a bargain price.
I'll be bodging something up to do the job.
