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

Those green pepperel and Fuchs modules are intrinsically safe barriers - they isolate a signal from a “safe” area going out to field devices (eg sensors etc) in an EX (explosive atmosphere) area.

Looks like a good haul, the Siemens plc is decent, but it doesn’t use the usual step 7 software, it’s called micro win (you used to be able to get a free version from Siemens but not sure if you still can).

Thanks for the info, will have a search and see if I can find out about the software

@daleyd aye was thinking that when I saw all the blue wiring, always a good indication of IS kit, but couldn't be rsed to check the P&F code ...great kit by the way, used thousands of their proximity switches & controllers and barriers... not cheap either, you could probably flog them on.

 

[Hood]

The relays will definitely be of use, the PLC not likely so may just shove it on eBay, will probably see if I can get the software first.

 

[MCKDAVID]

keep it, a man of your calibre will always have need of a daft wee project to keep on the go, a plc is a great toy, has many options, could even just hae it switching the lights on and off in the garage to keep the thieving runts away from the honda....

hahahahaha

 

[Hood]

LOL, I have a few spare Automation Direct PLCs here. Use one in the Chiron and another in the Lathe so always handy to have a spare or two. Would be more bother than it was worth to swap over to a Siemens and unless I can get the software very cheaply then I probably won't even be able to have a look/mess with it.

Got a link or number for them?

There are a few sellers - jus search for 150mm castors & you'll see them - e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-Pack-H...aked-Castor-Wheels-150mm-6-inch-/353128920999

We sadly had to travel to Canterbury for my MIL funeral,she was a lifelong teacher/head teacher,so this cabinet stored her diaries and other memoirs,which my partner will sift thru then I get to keep the cabinet for tool and fixtures plus jigs.She would have strongly approved having grown up in a working flour mill.

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

Outside of airliners and F1 teams, I beg to differ.

One of these arrived yesterday...

Tamron SP60-300.
I had a couple of them from ten years ago but they were lightly fungused, so thought I'd pick up another one.
Ten dollah!
The shipping and being stung a bit for duty just brought it up to a cheap enough price.
Bonus- it came with case, hood, and Pentax KA adapter, which are currently fetching much more than the whole price I paid.

Very good lens.
I have one - even better I have the 70 to 210 as well which is a constant F3.5 - both in canon fit.
Best thing of all - no damn autofocus.
Who needs autofocus? Most of the lenses tend to be used on infinity anyway. No losing focus at an air display for example!

Bought a few things at an auction.

8 new Sandvik/Bahco files.

A 4 wheel turntable trolley. Professionally made, very sturdy & the wheels run on bearings.

I'll be fitting a draw bar to tow it behind the lawnmower. It will be a lot safer for my dad to use for gardening than a big 85hp tractor!

12 lin bins & 6 stacking crates.

Reversing that trolley with the lawnmower will be fun.

 

[My Old Landy]

A couple of days ago I got a crane scale as I need an idea of the weight of my machines for the move. This morning I gave it a go.
In the wide shot it looks like the lead screw is under stress but it is an optical illusion

MINE.
Mine I tell you.
MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love all Cornish light ales, and this is definitely a good one. Will be down in Polperro in a few weeks, so no doubt I'll have a sample or two ...............

Then you can buy me some and drop it off in Wiltshire on the way home.

That'll give me a chance to do some extra 'sampling' to make sure all the ale I purchase is good

An awesome new drill press from ChrisF on here.

Just need to clear some space for it now.
