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

[James1979]

Couple of my pics of the inside. After a week of using it it’s damn handy. Not got everything how I want it but getting there.

A book.
View attachment 322785
To go with something I may be getting on Monday

I have the green covered version! It came in a job lot of model engineering books including this one which is the one I wanted.



They'll give me a little light reading over Christmas

Is that suitably annoying

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I have just said good bye to a friend, 8 bottles of Aldi polish beer() Not a tipple I like. But it does make a good beer batter and also good for making bread.

I will be tasting some in the morning.

But she did leave me this.

A bad of items, the bag makes a great thing to move stuff to charity shops.

In the bag were the following items.

A Horse medicene bottle.
2 sets of pliers.
3 nail punches.
One small chisiel.
One timer, flat battery.
Box of fuses.
1/4oz Branfield bras weight.

Then, in no other order, that what I pulled them out of the bag.

A small paraffin heater.

A small cooker.

I have removed the contents, aprt from the jet pricker it is complete.

Then a camera.

Solo Cadet, 120 bakealite camera. With instructions.

A few days ago in post #33,558 - among other, more junky items - I had presented this pressure oiler for the Myford from a quality manufacturer .

A side topic was that the box pushers often give you the goods and the money back if you only complain twice.

Well, the quality supplier first tried to deliver a replacement to me as quickly as possible, but he didn't forget me afterwards:

Today the sensationally low invoice arrived - I've heard Myford people in yt videos quote three to four times the price -
- and the promised gift was also included.

The gift is a so-called precision oiler, with which one (precision mechanic, watchmaker, us) can get fine oil in the smallest amounts to exactly the right places - here, as with a biro, by pressing lightly on the pusher.

I am very happy, firstly about the gesture and secondly about having such a thing with me at all times from now on.
I filled it for the first time with Ballistol, which is known to be thin, and it works fine and stays tight in the pocket for the time being.

Also arrived today - a mini casket? :

0.01mm resolution over 10mm travel.

Keilpart/Suhl is a highly interesting company:

In 1878 today's Feinmess Suhl GmbH was founded as "Friedrich Keilpart & Co.". After the war a period of affiliation to the Soviet Union's factory association, in which measuring tools continued to be manufactured, the Feinmesszeugfabrik Suhl was transferred to national ownership in 1952.
In the association of VEB Carl Zeiss Jena in 1970. The production of inductive measured value recordings with an accuracy of 0.001µm (!) became possible. Since 1992, Feinmess Suhl GmbH has been part of the "Steinmeyer Group" (Albstadt).

This raises the question of how old this dial gauge is. Before 1952 it must have been called Keilpart, after 1990 it no longer existed independently, actually long before that ... I will have to research whether they were allowed to produce under their name during the GDR period, perhaps for export?

Very good measuring equipment, very undervalued on the used market.


Also arrived, not as interesting but as good:

0.01mm resolution over 3mm travel and 0.001mm resolution over 1mm travel..

Hahn+Kolb has been around since 1897, it rose to become the largest tool dealer in Europe for a time and was continued by the Würth Group after a bankruptcy in 1993 (dispute among the owners and a recession).


And a bit of drilling stuff:

Have a great evening and a wonderful weekend

You're getting the hang of this spending money thing.....

 

[25.4_mechanic]

You're getting the hang of this spending money thing...

Yes, I didn't really know how to do that before ... but you had predicted everything exactly ... so I had to obey...

What you can't know, of course, is what something like that really costs here on the continent, if you put a little effort into it and have patience ...

[Arc Tourist]

Acquired a swarf deflector for my Boxford lathe at a good price, its even the same colour.

Looks smart.
I got a similar one a few weeks back from parker (looks near the same)

What did the draper one cost if you dont mind me asking?

That's brilliant. A truck like that down here would command a pretty penny

Cheers. It’s bloody handy. Came from North England but I got a good deal on it. Was a dealer sale but he says he doesn’t put much of a mark up on the vans he sells as he just wants them to keep moving.

I’d deal with him again. That’s saying a lot for a car dealer!!

I hate to think what it cost new. Strongs body. All kitted out in Bott and Premier Hazard stuff. Victron charging and battery protector etc etc. warn 8000 on the front with dyneema rope. That’s your tax dollars working hard boys!

Blimey that's a lot of extras! What did you pay if you don't mind my asking?

 

[James1979]

It’s ex Severn Trent Water.

I paid £7k incl the vat which I’ll get back anyway.

There’s a lot to it to be fair. I was impressed with how much for the money.

 

[Ubique]

The AA used to have something similar a good few years ago based on an Isuzu pickup, the body on the back was OK - not as good as yours, but the amount of kit loaded meant they had next to none towing capacity. If I was still self-employed, I'd be looking for one of those, better for load carrying than my Freelander 2 Commercial but not as comfy!

A lot of those go through Brightwells in Leominster

I was after something similar when I got my L200, had to be double cab though so more like £17k
