I hate going round a local clearance warehouse with Mrs Robo as I always end up buying something "useful"

I have a set of them, I use them in the cordless drill, great for cleaning out injector bores and brake caliper slider bores

I'm sure they will come in handy working on my old stationary engines, I had to use my old gun cleaning kit the last time

Here are the wire brushes, James, that have come in to date.
It seems certain that I will not only break some things with them in conjunction with the new
The wire thickness is much too high, the brush diameter too large, add to that the twisted shape ....
To be sure, none of the brushes have a rated maximum speed even close to the speed of the machine ....
... so what could go wrong?
It'll be fine

Wrecked a large cup brush on a 9" grinder.... brush 4500rpm... 9" was 9000.... lasted long enough for the job, and let go slowly.. sort of unpeeled the large rivet in the middle, and went loose.. luckily spotted it before it went really wrong
Only then did i notice the small print of the speed rating

Good time at car boot.
A lot of real booters, not boot traders.
£1 a bottle and £1 for the beech handle.
They didn't even clean it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
£5 and I got another one free, but only one glass top.

I don't know much about it, to be honest. Needs a motor, so I've asked meddings for a parts diagram and price list. The table has had the smile filled in, but also has a bit of the side chipped off. The plan is to get it running and just use it.

I was actually.... removing paint from the garage floor.... did a really good job
Made myself a wooden kneeling platfom and crash barrier to stop myself removing my knee caps..... it slanted away from me to protect the bits i dont get chance to use much as well
Time for a update on one of the things I've acquired in the past.
One of these brochures was for a Drummond Radial Drill and a local museum had one of the drills, so in March this year (took a while due to Covid) I took the booklet to the museum.... and I went again last weekend.....
Im glad to see that they had copied the booklet and had it with the drill they have
yesterday I acquired some Drummond brochures from the early 1900's. I was invited to have a rummage though a filing cabinet for brochures for local machine tool companies to donate to the local industrial museum.....but knowing that someone on here had a passion for Drummond lathes, it would be rude not take them for him and send them to him for free in the next couple of weeks.
and I also got a couple of catalogs of second hand industrial machine tools from the mid 1950's, and the local industrial museum dont want them, I can think of someone on here with a passion for old lathes who would probably like them. but it will be a few weeks before I get the answer on that.
