Also ordered one of these, think it'll be good for attaching on welding lid.

I've acquired a non-working carpet cleaner from a local re-use FB group. "It doesn't work, I think it's the motor, it starts up but sounds like it's straining." Haven't looked at it yet, hopefully I can find what's up with it and sort it out as I could do with cleaning a few carpets at home.

I saw that and although I can be a bit of a Milwaukee fan boi I though £90 was a bit steep!!
Certain parts of the world a fan is a tenth that and includes a guy to operate it!
So…. I bought a Milwaukee battery thingy that has 2 USB sockets on the top. Also got me a USB fan which is aimed at chair polishers but works fine in the workshop on my bench. Also if/when i anihalate it it was only a fiver, not £90.
Good shout on the ryobi stuff though. Never used it but seen a bit on the tube and it looks fine.

What a coincidence that you just show them here:
I had noticed two days ago that a dealer in the Netherlands - from whom I had other things to order - apparently also has Pica in the program.
(I especially like to buy from such dealers, where with my own VAT-ID in intra-EU-trade the VAT of the selling country is omitted, without the VAT of the own country being added afterwards - means for me from Holland -20% [more precisely Price/1.2]. Some of you might remember ....)
And since these two have become indispensable to me for a few months,
I have taken the opportunity to complete my marking equipment.
Have a nice friday all

It swivels and tilts and only has a hand tightening mechanism. Therefore I think it is for use on a tool and cutter grinder or a surface grinder. I could be wrong. But it doesn't have the construction for milling forces.Could you please elaborate on that? Thank you.
In any case, the underside is made for a groove table:

Naaa Workington lads are jam eaters haha we breed a slightly better quality of yokel down hear, the further north from hear you go it goes down hill, scary port is well scary even the milk floats have rear gunners!Had to say that in my head and then it clicked
I'm more or less in the middle, but @highseas is definitely on jam-eater turf
Silloth is like a genetic theme park.

Thanks, Brad,
looking at it this way I have to agree with you
Although the rotating and swiveling axes are to be locked by a hexagonal wrench, the workpiece clamping really only takes place via the handwheel, although the size and design of the handwheel allows for a pretty good clamping, this of course does not come close to tightening with tools.

Further arrived here: A set for fine cleaning tasks, left fiberglass brush, middle brass brush, right stainless steel brush.
The glass fiber brush is particularly suitable for cleaning electrical contacts and circuits, whereby the individual fibers break little by little according to plan - I use them only with tight protective goggles and in a place from which I can free the processed area directly out into the open with compressed air from the particles - on the skin, the fine fragments are a pain, but the cleaning effect is amazing.
More for cleaning and polishing
And a little something that seems to me almost a little too cheap to be really reasonably priced ....
we'll see ......
Only genuine with CE mark .... CE for ChinaExport!
The quality of workmanship is reflected in the price, many corners need to be reworked a bit.
And I will give it away to a precision shop to adjust the chuck to a Myford adaper plate, if the runout is not right, I want to know own errors excluded.

You could always mount it on the adapter plate with oversized holes, and tap/adjust until it clocks true in the jawsAnd a little something that seems to me almost a little too cheap to be really reasonably priced ....

Tell me, what is the beauty of a lathe chuck with 6 jaws.?The quality of workmanship is reflected in the price, many corners need to be reworked a bit.

If I understand your question, the benefit is mainly for holding thin wall components. Also they can be used for holding twist drills etc.Tell me, what is the beauty of a lathe chuck with 6 jaws.?
They have disadvantages over 3 jaw chucks however as if the scrolls get clogged with swarf it is a lot easier fighting your way to unwind 3 jaws than it is 6, also unless it is very accurate you will often not get a secure holding of the component on all jaws. When I had my 6 jaw I often just used 3 of the jaws, downside to that was the gripping face was narrower than a conventional 3 jaw.

I think YouTube has made them popular. Like you say, unless they're produced very very accurately to begin with and then kept in very good condition, you'll quickly find one jaw isn't clamping as hard as the others

I'm prepared to have the old lesson "you get what you pay for" reinforced.
I want to be able to clamp delicate workpieces without leaving marks on them.
I don't think I'll lose any money.
