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

[brewdexta]

The first time I used one of these WEG fanless VFDs was when I placed it inside the cabinet of my wood turning lathe, I didn't want a fan dragging wood dust into it. There's not a lot of ventilation in there, I did lift the lathe off the floor a little which helped but still not ideal. So I added an aluminium plate and a heatsink and bolted it to the inside of the lathe, just in case. Since then I've done the same elsewhere in the workshop, sounds like I shouldn't have bothered, The plate and heatsink add about 20 quid to not a big deal though.

They're good drives, I hate rattling fans when I'm listening to music in the workshop

A Clansman spring base for the manpack 320 and a vehicle base for the same system.
Helpfully, the folding whip from the manpack fits the vehicle base, too. I wasn't too sure about that.

Found this chucked in with some other things. Not sure I'll use it, or what I'd use it for, but sharpened it anyway.

It won't/doesn't hurt to add them though.

For a magdrill?

For a magdrill?

Possibly, I don't have one. It has a single flat ground on one side.

Some aviation spanners. I'm not taking up aeroplanes but for tight suspension bolts etc these will be handy on occasion. Fully polished they are nicely balanced.

Could be a spot face cutter, for making a round flat feature around a bolt holt in a casting.

 

[dan.taylor.1]

Or a flat valve seat cutter, centre hole pilots on the stem guide?

I think its for facing Cartridges. It fits in a small hand lathe. They "grow" when fired, so need to be trimmed down for reloading.

@Migmac or @northwest would confirm

It’s similar to mine, mine has four cutters though. Northwest made me a trimmer and it has four cutters too. It’s blooming good

Today I acquired this. Collected for me by a friend in Reading from FB.

Couldn't resist now local Lidl had them back in, only complaint is brushed and no retaining ball so big sockets sometimes fall off but can't have everything for only £70 and 3yr warranty.

That's what the hole in the square is for, to allow for pin and band retainers on the heavier sockets.

I sold a drill (have too many of em) and picked up a tumbler




Meant for Shell casings but giving it a go as I type on rusty nuts and bolts which is my intended application.

I was in Lidl this evening and spotted their 20V cordless glue gun for £15.99

It works very well indeed. Ready to use in under a minute. LED goes from red to green, easy to use. It has a work light that can be turned off if desired.

I actually got a use for it within minutes and it worked great. Very pleased with it.

Since I am now on their 20v platform I also bought one of these drills on ebay

I took Parkside as a bit of a joke until I bought a job lot of tools which included several new 12v Parkside tools and batteries etc. I have been using away at them for about a year now no issues at all very happy.

This cordless glue gun has broken the trigger for a second time now. Which is such a shame as otherwise it was a fantastic tool.

Going to give up on that now. Milwaukee don't appear to make cordless glue guns. But there is a copy on amazon which gets good reviews and uses the m18 batteries.

A cordless glue gun is a great addition to the garage- when they work that is!

Same as my tumbler.

I remember these well. The Spring base was only designed to be used in the manpack roll, as it is in the photo in would be being carried, move it to the 45 degree position to use it laying flat.
