Update on Bridgeport tool cabinets for those interested.
The forum Moderator advised to post seller contact information on the " Used Equipment For Sale " section of the forum ", under " Ebay, Gumtree, FB, & Market Place Etc. Spots ", which I will do shortly.

That looks quality Are those swiveling shelves height adjustable looking at the hole side rails?

Looks expensive . But a nice find.

I just had a phone conversation with the Bridgeport cabinet seller, mentioned our forum, and that I was confident that some members would be seriously interested in these cabinet's. I asked if I could I forward his contact details, and he said yes. So for those interested, you guys here are going to have first chance of acquiring them before they are listed online. He said the company is retooling for modern CNC machines, related tooling and the cabinets for them; so these older Bridgeport cabinets are surplus to requirement.

I am going to ask advice from the moderators on how to proceed so I don't break any forum rules.

@ Arc Tourist, for being a really decent guy , and sharing, those cabinets, with fellow members. How many people, would have bought them , then tried to make a profit , from fellow forum members.
Edit, couldn't find the thumbs up ,lol

Set of cheap mag clamps off ebay, £7. Not quite mastered bending as both faces are curved. Magnets will pick up 1.5kg/3kg each, not bad. Theres no play in the pivot but Im not convinced the hdpe spacers will last.

The ones I have are pretty good, the magnets come out really easily though.

Was looking for a cover for the wee hobbymatt lathe, 2nd hand they go for stupid money. Came across this guy listing covers for machines and asked if he could make one, gave him dims, chose colour and finish, and 3 days later delivered. Does covers for welders and all sorts.

I could do with some of them for the welders.

Could that be were Banksy practices? Might be worth a fortune.

More visibility required,plus with electric prices zooming up,I can be more selective,instead of turning lots of tubes on.

Wow ! Thirty pounds, that seems like a lot of money for what it is.

Have a look in your local Lidl shop. They might currently have these water resistant fabric bike covers in stock £2.99
Great as a lathe or other machine cover, just tuck in the excess material.

Four thread insert sets from Facebook for £30. One new the others one insert used.

Recoil M9 x 1.25
Recoil M10 x 1.25
Recoil M12 x 1.75 new
MasterPro? M14 x 1.25

Must be car related the fine M14 thread?
M9 a bit odd too.
