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

[MattF]

The 64mm in the set has gone through best part of 100mm of rail track steel via a pillar drill in separate cuts and is keen as minus a bit of paint!

Good to hear they're good. Not tried any of mine in metal as yet, but finally used one in some wood the other day, & definitely a keener cut than any of the holesaws I've used previously.

More of a came home and saw a weird, flint sticking out of the bank where we've dug out to extend the patio:

A quick clean in the sink with the scrubbing brush:

Any thoughts as to what it is? Bone?

Will send the pics to my niece... see if her degree was worth it

Thanks. I'll PM you the post code if that helps. Basically the bottom of a glacial valley in NW Kent.

She is quite jealous of your rock... thinks they will be belemnites... which apparently were a type of squid

That is a fabulous find. I would send photos to Safronwalden Museum. They will tell you all about it as they have a superb archive of info.

It's actually destined for a good home now. I'll find more.

68mm Additional to progressor hole saw set as advertised by Matt which comes with 2 adapters for threaded holesaw systems which is well handy and all a good price at 13.50 all in, and fits in the box set with room yet to spend spare. I'm still seeing a lot of choice of the (good) white holesaws still available over ebay.

Also got another hex bit screwdriver - Wolfcraft. Needed cos the other Kennedy one keeps getting borrowed...
Like the Kennedy you pull the lock ring up to insert or release the bit, seems counter intuitive and makes getting the bit out a bit harder, not sure why they are like that, I have extension bars that work the other way

Those white hole cutters, are very good, they've stopped making them, they're blue now, with fewer teeth, the white ones can be resharpened I've recently learnt.

They won't have stopped making the white holesaws. The blue ones are a completely different beast. Carbide tipped teeth, for a different niche.

Yeah / no, rubbish for fish mouthing tubing.

And as I said a couple of weeks ago the Bosch rep, said they don't make the white ones anymore.

What I was told.

Unfortunately, I don't know his wife, and doubt I'd have the energy or time for an extra marital affair. Let alone the inclination.

Finally some rubber , I've not had chance to test it out but by all accounts they are meant to be a good tyre.

Road 6's. Excellent rubber I have them on my bike. £335 a pair they aint cheap but by God they work and wear well.

Says Mr One Track Mind.

 

[dobbslc]

£335 a pair!
It's a long time since I bought a pair of tyres like that.
I have a pair of Continental's on the TRX to replace the ****e Avon's, pretty good tyres and less than £200.

That little right angle die grinder jobbie I got recently. Decided to see if the collets from any other machines matched up, so that I could get a range of sizes, rather than being stuck with just 6mm. Turns out the collets for the GGS28 are the same. The collet nut, from that machine, although a different design, is the same thread too. Had to order to check, so it was a suck it & see exercise.




Silver collet on the left is the 6mm supplied with the unit. Ones on the right are ¼" & 8mm. 3mm & ⅛" are due.



Nut on the left is the one supplied with the unit. The GGS nut is larger, but better encloses the collet. The front of the collet protrudes from the front of the supplied nut. It's flush with the front of the GGS nut.

A thermal camera, well an add on for my phone. It is beautifully made, solid and feels quality. A million miles away from the Flir (which I have never rated) this thing just works:



brilliant bit of kit that is not just a gimmick.
