Today I acquired...........

[minimutly]

Yesterday technically but I acquired a reasonable "final" layout of the workshop.

Had to keep stuff out of the way until the staircase was built but a few tonnes of metal has been moved around. It's even tidier now but I started wiring things a bit more permanently so no lights downstairs and too dark for photo. There's a nice open space where I'm stood (big enough for a Land Rover) by the big roller door for projects if needed

Now that’s a proper bandsaw....

Bought a s/hand copy of this as I couldn't find my original:

I think they’re on special at the moment. I got a flyer on Friday given to me. It’s In the truck, not read it yet.

Got a link to the deal?

Ironically most of the stuff came from this forum.

Pillar drills, hacksaw and G. Dufour Mill from @8ob
Press from @dieselsamurai
Bridgeport from @Spark plug
Table and bender from @MattH
Guillotine from @pressbrake1
Bandsaw from someone else Essex way

 

[My Old Landy]

@Onoff I got this last week, not as advanced as I am only a beginner

You prompted me to get the flier out the truck…..

They go up to about £10k on promo!!

The 10R is about the same as the sealey I like. £200 cheaper on this deal too…

Those 6 jaws are serious money

Brad wonder what you class as serious money? I paid £200 after a little discussion with the vendor. I have bought from him before though and he usually has some interresting stuff.

Probably a fair price. They're about £600 from RD Barrett

Cousin got the small Gys for car work, after we pestered him to get it. It's really really good. It's rare he has to get the gas bottles out now, the induction heater does it far better for the small nuts and bolts on cars.

Induction heaters are invaluable..I have not found anything my S&P 1200W cant heat up and release yet and no risk of fire in tight spots under the car or engine bays..Even better now i make my own coils.

 

[bricol]

I've got a 110V Sykes Pickavant induction heater - or at least, it's got a sticker on it that says that.

Good for all sorts of things. Wind your own coil around, or inside, to get things hot. I've used it to fit bearings - coil inside and warm up, much like a proper bearing heater, just without temp control, so care needed.

 

[Keithmac]

I am able to borrow one of these whenever, but I don’t like to unless I’m stuck. I’ll be getting my own when funds allow.

They are brilliant

Sealey VS250 Rapid Heat Induction Heater 2300W

Mobile induction heater for fast heat delivery. Install appropriate coil and place over or around ferrous metal. Ideal for loosening stubborn and seized fixings. Supplied

I'd like one of those, look really handy bits of kit. Snap-on had similar on the van a while back but it was expensive!.

The ‘stand’ is intended to be set underground round a water cock so the top is level with the pavement. It’s been repurposed and is missing the circular inset lid.

I presume you are replying to my post regarding the anvil and "stand"? Thanks!

Furnace bits today, cheap offcut insulation and new coils. 30.7 Ohm should give me 1.5-2kw on full.

Its french. It'll protest and refuse to do any wook soon enough

Does appear to be a proper PLL induction and interesting the inductor heads are all single turn rather than many turn coils. Great for access.

I'll have to get my cheap chinese one out this week, never tested it properly.

I know I should have made it, though I liked the look of these toolholders:

 

[slim_boy_fat]

^^ That's a ridiculously clean looking lathe, get turning!!

I vacuum it after use

As do I (but not after every use). I find the cutting fluid/oil plays havoc with the vacuum hose....

I'm not interested honestly but for the greater good, where from

Gearlathe, £47 on their website, think they sell for more on ebay.
