Got an Evolution mitre chop saw, very impressed with it, when locked in position it’s very steady with no movement.
Used it to cut some angle iron to make a base for some large metal cabinets, to sit in, onto that I’ll weld on wheels so the cabinets can be moved when necessary.
Just need to try to weld it together now to make something usable without making a mess of it

After years of messing around with only half working jigsaws I got a decent one (Fein ASt 638)
Works well for Wood and surprisingly well for Steel too:

Congrats!
If you can justify the initial costs, you never make a mistake with tools from Fein.
A published service phone number where someone even answers the phone during normal business hours,
and not the marketing trainee on the second working day, no,
a real technician who knows the products!
Needed a part for an ancient large angle grinder from Fein, no type plate readable on that thing any more, advice from the service hotline:
Take a photo, email it to us, we will identify the unit for you, even if we no longer have the original part, perhaps you can adapt that part from the newer types ...
Wow!

Some rather lovely tins with some old bits of metal inside.

That's a nice haul. What was the damage to your pocket though?

Today I went to Lidl and didn't buy an electric nibbler. I felt quite proud of myself, but I can't rule out popping back there in the week.

Fill in the internal angles with square plates so you can easily bolt on the castors and set th castors back a few mm from the edges so you can counter sink bolt them on.
I made simple 2 thickness of construction ply screwed together for forms ..it was so easy to slip the inverted angle on them clamp it down then tack weld the lengths up . Very little distortion took place

Covered in another thread.... yet another motorbike for me: https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/just-bought-another-bike.124614/#post-2140185
Its mechanically sound with a rebuilt engine. Hope to get out on it soon.

Does anyone know what this setup is about? How do all the bits work?

That's a very heavy indicator base probably to be used on a surface plate

It probably goes with that box of bits. This is probably my favourite bit I got. Bowers of Bradford. Appears virtually unused

Taper turning attachment to offset your tailstock. Bowers. Will be top quality.

It’s so lovely. This is what I actually went to collect, had one but sold it, regretted it hard afterwards.
