Going to place a square sail on it.




It is an wasy job.

In fact it will be:


Plane Sailing.

I also found this nice bundle.

This new place, I need to tap into to find the good stuff.

Oil pump and a Brass zippo.

Both work.


Plus this lot.

 

[Gragson]

Katsu die grinder, didn't want to spend a lot, needed for a limited access job, dremel for scale - bit bigger than I thought it would be but the long snout is useful.
Its brushed but reasonably smooth, smoother than the buzzy dremel for sure.
Fixed speed 24k rpm, yes I know that's a bit higher rated than the wire wheel, but only by 20k - pin heads a coming
TBF wearing a full mask and the wheel seems to be holding up fine.....so far, not tried it with die grinding bits yet but should be loads better than the dremel for heavier removal work.

I did wonder whether I'd see it down this way....

acquired this........not today but a couple of days ago....this old girl from the queens jubilee year...1977.
Ive been hankering after a classic Japanese bit of fun for a while. Bit of a dog in its day apparently ......Shes got some patina, needs a bit of commisioning and not been on the road since 1996....

Looks like you have a few saws on the go there Bob...an array of carbs and clutches

 

[eddie49]

Katsu die grinder
Fixed speed 24k rpm, yes I know that's a bit higher rated than the wire wheel, but only by 20k

My Katsu die grinder does not have the long snout, and uses a 10mm Jacobs chuck rather than a collet, but it does have variable speed.
You could use an external speed controller:

I have been having a mad few weekends doing some catchup on saw/backpack repairs, did a load of br600 backpack blowers the other day and it was far cheaper to buy a Chinese carb that came with a filter service kit and primer bulb than it was for just the stihl carb gasket set. I will keep the carbs and fit the steel spiral kits in them when I get a chance

I looked at that type as well, same £30 cost and nearly got both as the chuck type is attractive over 2 spanners operation on the collet, but the longer reach did it for me and pleased the collet is robust.
But b*gger it I may have to get the chuck one as well - this place is a nightmare for turning around tool reducing decisions

@eddie49 the speed controller you linked is very interesting, is there a rule of thumb on the sort of equipment I can control from it?

 

[Wozzaaah]

….5 decent-sized pieces of pretty heavy-duty galved mesh from a scrap skip.

 

[roblane65]

You gonna make a cage for them on the naughty step

He will have to raid the skip a lot more.

Having a die grinder with a real key-operated chuck widens the scope of attachments, from 1/8th inch Dremel-type up to 6mm and 1/4 inch.
The speed controller is rated at "8" Amps, so should be OK up to about 1000 Watts. It will work with any AC mains power tool fitted with a motor that has brushes, e.g. 4 - 5" angle grinder, polisher, die grinder, or an old fixed-speed power drill.

This is the same thing for a lot less money. Put it in a box with a plug and 13A socket:

Pardon our interruption...
