I see a lot of Jets when I was down near helford in Cornwall. Not sure if the were trainers or real thing

@MattF what @dobbslc said but I think you have to do it within 3 months of you buying them

Is it an engraving cutter?

The nearest I've came up with is a chamfering cutter (Google) but the angle is wrong.

 

[Brad93]

Yes, I would say that's for engraving, like a D Bit cutter

Wow man that's cool
I've now have "tecno fear" as my new van doesn't have a CD player!
I have to somehow put music on my phone

I fell asleep with my head under the pillow and the rust fairy brought me this...

Today I acquired an ADF for my sentinel A50. From Elmdale welding in Gt Yarmouth.

Reason I mention it is I’ve had the thing 3 years and they didn’t even quibble. Just posted a new one out before I’d sent the old one.

edit. Just checked the paperwork and it’s 4 years

Today this arrived. Ordered a good while back and from the USA. A little over £200 delivered:



Bronze guide bush is a little over 2" long and you need a couple really, they are not cheap either. .812" dia and thirty two TPI

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

The magnetic swarf wand I ordered after seeing your post here arrived today. Must say, I am impressed with the quality, and worth the price.
Also arrived, was 5 metres of 5mm gas hose and some crimp on hose clamps.

love the tornado, the last proper mechanical jet

Oh really?!

You try telling the CSAS and FADEC!

I think the last proper mechanical jet, certainly in RAF service was the Hawker Hunter. Whilst it's flight controls were hydraulically actuated, they were at least manually operated by rods to each of the PFCU's.

TIL what a FADEC is!

I meant more along the lines of being able to move the flaps properly without the use of fly by wire if it failed.

 

[RWD3M]

Hi Danez,

Ah right. Yeah modern stuff will just fall out of the sky without FBW!

Full Authority Digital Engine Controller, or ECU in laymans (mine!) terms Not sure if that had a mechanical back up, I didn't work engines on the Tornado.

Interesting, every days a school day eh

shame they're out of service now, certainly one of the coolest looking jets

Link to the post you're referring to? I'm clueless what we're on about here.

You can sign up for a 3 year warranty on the Bosch professional tool website.

Will be doing. All my other gear of theirs is registered. 3 year on tools, 2 year on batteries.

Just found the post referred to. It's 4 weeks they have to be registered within.

Found an identical one on engraving cutters, different make, £40 inc vat. Good shout lads.
