Another high torque impact, one key this time. 2 more 5amp batteries and a rapid charger.
A headlamp beam tester/ setter used untested.
And 2no Inverter arc welders which are not working and need some fettling but I liked them so bought them anyway. Oops. One was GYS made in France unit and the other is a thermal arc. I will likely need to create threads on here to seek some help from those who know welder electrical problems better than me!

Price? That's just what i've been looking for, and probably cheaper than a trumpf one!!!Got this today.

Did a couple of test pieces on anodised aluminium.
Hole on left is 6mm dia to give an idea of scale.

Also did this, again hole on right is 6mm.

Very impressed with it especially as I have no ide of the power and speed settings to use and just plucked some numbers out of the air

I already opened the welders before I got photos
Headlamp beam setter is the MOT type one on wheels. It's in my car in bits and lashing outside I'll get it out tomorrow. They are simple devices anyway so I think it is fine.
The Thermal Arc is dead.
The little GYS is Powering up. LED on and fan running. But won't strike an arc.
Simple first things to check? I guess cleaning all large terminals would be a start.
The board doesn't look like the magic smoke escaped. But I did see a fluffy adjuster

It is just a diode laser so only any good for cutting wood/paper etc so not sure if that is what you are after when you mention trumpf.
I bought it because I wanted to etch anodised aluminium instead of having to do it via the milling machine, also wanted it for etching text onto stainless panels and tests this evening show it works well.
It cost me £550 on the Prime deal, list is £699 but I usually see it hovering between £600 and £650.
Pic of the stainless etching on a scrap from the plasma, outlines and fills.

Reckon you could do me something along these lines?
Problem is i'll only be wanting small quantities and all the big firms want you to order 100 odd

I just returned from a road trip to Shrewsbury, to acquire a late model Honda nc750x. It has just 4000 miles on it, and has only had one previous owner. Happy day.

I could certainly give it a go at engraving but would really need the labels supplied as I don't use that thin material, 1.5mm is the thinnest and it is not good finish.

Got given a moto g8 power lite that had been dropped, camera lens broke and the earpiece speaker not working, ordered new lens from ebay decided to bust it open to have a look, on reassembly the earpiece speaker now works, nice upgrade £3 quid spent.
