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

Arc Euro do them, what the quality is like I have no idea.

Morse Taper Open Sleeves - Arc Euro Trade

Used to reduce the taper size on machines with a drawbar which passes through the sleeve to screw into the smaller taper being held in the spindle.

£30 the lot, I couldn’t resist.

Glad to see you added the “s” on the end - that sentence reads very differently without it

 

[Wozzaaah]

Oh, and a Ferrex (Aldi) 32” lawn scarifier for free, with a burnt out motor.
Which begs a question…. When a motor “burns out” what actually happens to it?
If it’s beyond economic repair most likely it’ll end up in a skip, on here as a freebie or on eBay as “untested”.

 

[arther dailey]

the windings get the varnish(insulating) burnt off due to over heating , so will need rewinding , a quick sniff test when covers off will soon tell you ,bit of a unmistakable stink, other faults are often described incorrectly as burnt out though so check it out before skip

 

[Wozzaaah]

He did say it stank.
I’ll strip it down and see if I can get a part number off the motor.
Apparently it’s a common fault with them when they’re used on the lowest setting, it overworks the motor.

Basically if the blue smoke has escaped its b******d.

I'm going to have to put you on my forum block list if you keep posting temptation like that!

I do hope that was tongue in cheek!

No it wasn’t, using nitrogen in tyres has several advantages

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Nice sausagpesto, beans, fried slice and kidneys in the staff canteen.
Mug of coffee and hot buttered toast.
£1.50.
Happy me.

not least for the garage that gets to charge extra for "fancy gas"

 

[KimB]

Got these posters from my partners friend, he had a few so gave me a couple spares

3/4 Clarke socket set

 

[James1979]

That black book is really handy. Mines all dog eared, gets daily use. They are under rated I think

‘A good haul’ as the yanks say

Yeah it’s great. My normal book of choice is my Zeus book but this will probably overtake it.

I suspect few people will notice.

Filling tyres with N2 started in the aerospace industry where amongst other preceived benefits, it helps to reduce the risk of landing gear bay fires gaining momentum in the event of a tyre failure.

The use of N2 in car tyres is, in my opinion, a pointless exercise.

 

[Kram]

A mt3-mt2 open ended sleeve from RDG. Its a bit poo and might be going back. The rear of the mt2 socket is rough unground in places where the casting was too thin. The only shop I can see selling plain open ended type without a tang drift slot.

Test fit.. and roughtly aligned in photo for where they sit in the spindle. The mt3 is not the correct length. I can imagine this marking the spindle and rasing a burr where the mt3 ends too short.

Should I send this back?

I bought one a while back from them and it was the same. I didn't bother sending it back. I probably should have!
