Alison had ten large clip over the handle to seal document storage boxes . Every year I shredded the oldest box of paper but kept the three or four CD of the tax returns & stored them in the tenth box . It was getting to the stage where I was thinking of scanning every bit of paper and putting it on disc as a photo record .... three 120l bags of paper shavings, lots of file folders and mountains of stapling strips, as well as two and a half free shelf meters ....
.... I was able to shred 10 years of accounting records until a point 10 years ago, the retention period had expired ...
.... i was even a bit amazed about what an active business life i had at that timecompared to the more sedate pace now - you've even heard the word midday nap lately here.

Granted, I could have started shredding exactly one accounting year nine years ago, but, hey, it was much more satisfying this way ....
.... with strategic pauses always just short of the shredder's overheating limit and not skimping on oil on the chipping rollers ....

... I love the smell of hot WD40 in the afternoon

Bought this - job for @fizzy to get it from Gravesend to West Wales.
Once here I have a helical gear cutting job for it:-
Part of this:-
Answers on a postcard, but its quite old and there aren't that many about. The casing is actuall magnesium.
Oh, question for the learned, what should I make the pinion out of? I'm thinking some en40, suitably heat treated?

A relic from the past....
Not sure why they fell out of fashion as I still find them very handy.
This replaces the cheapy Titan and knackered B&D I have been using.
Got some heft to it!
New Old Stock, I prefer this design to the newer ones - I guess it dates from around early 2000's.

Very nice!
Can you still get them?

I think there are only a few big names still making them, Makita, HiKoki, Bosch, Triton. Quite a few still available at the cheaper end of the market.
I think everybody moved over to using ROS, but I think a belt sander still has a place - bloody handy when you need to take a couple of mm off something gnarly you don't want to put your planer anywhere near!

Its a bit odd actually, same basic machine as a 4" and same platen, so you can fit a 4" belt.
However, rollers are 3" and it is sold as a 3", but you can track the belt over to sand up to an edge. So. err Both possibly, is the answer.
The Makita 9924 was the same - I suppose they must have had a reason.

today I acquired a nice
split leather chisel roll , having spent a few hours at the weekend sharpening chisels and plane irons ( for a while now they've been chucked in the tool box with everything else and no caps ) I'm going back old school , can't remember how many years it's been since I had a chisel roll .
