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

[James1979]

Is it an engraving cutter?

Good shout.

I wondered if it would fit in a die grinder?

 

[slim_boy_fat]

Some crumpet sounds good to me.

Down, boy!!

 

[Arc Tourist]

Covering the end with a plastic bag never occured then?

Yeah, tried that, but get less splinters in my paw when using a rag.

Expensive week for tools
Little palm Sanders great for detail work but need something to sit between it and the belt sander.
Can't justify a rotax

@MattF re the paint shaver.

Did ok yesterday on the main frame of the gate but the t&g was cupped and caused issues

That's why the Sanders here today.

Very little sanding needed on the frame but the boards have a lot of chips.

Not the best quality pine.

Mercy dash to Toolstation for sanding disks

Nice tool. Quiet and low vibration.
The boost button and option of aggressive action are decent
A bargain for £130

some surplus to requirements industrial rubber mat......... ........The nightmare of picking out swarf from the carpet will soon be history

Just need to order some sky hooks to lift up the lathe and milling machine when I get to that corner

 

[Blobber]

Been storing a caravan, couple of trailers and a bit of other tat for a friend that was moving, the last of it has been collected and he says to me "you like wine dont you?"
My mind then starts wandering off thinking about a nice Shiraz or Merlot

Ohh, thats nice, thanks very much, I will put it in the draw of things that time forgot, am ungratefull or just dissapointed?

Blow the tiles, what’s the bike Chris?

Another cheap set of metric ER11 collets. I use them on my Capstan. This set has an 1/8" and 1/4" which will do nicely for the Pantograph which was retrofitted with ER11 so I can use the cheapo engraving tools win-win

The cheap collets aren't bad at all. Those ER32s I ordered are sterling. Can't fault them upto just.

They are not cheap and work very well.... unless you drink screwtop

 

[redlig]

But, do they fit?

At that price they WILL fit.

 

[nickk]

Never used this brand before,the specifications were right.

 

[indy4x]

@nickk that looks like Mannol

Used some of their stuff in my D3 autobox, think they are a German company

I was given one of those a few years back, but it broke on the third or fourth use !

Any more updates on that @lchris21 ?
Or have I missed it all?

 

[Dieselman 63]

YES!

I found a set of metric Britool 10-22mm. I’ve been searching for years but they’re just so high so I jumped when I saw these for $50 (£25). I’ve removed the AF as I rarely use them, so now I have a box of metric and British - sockets for Japanese car and English tractor. Not bad

(still a few sizes left to find!)

This magnetic swarf cleanup tool , magnet in a non magnetic tube you push a magnet in the tube to collect swarf then draw it out over the bin and then swarf drops off. Very handy and £18 off eBay will save alot of time in cleanup and save hoovering up so much

I've had mine for a couple of years - magnificent piece of kit
