Those belt sanders aren't too bad. The belts are a bit ****e though. The joint is lumpy. What size belts do they take? Could do with trying a better quality belt on mine. It's been sat in a cupboard since I moved here.

States 75mm x 457mm on the box (3" x 10"). I've got a few of that size a neighbour gave me awhile ago.

Not today, I acquired a tilt bed trailer. A couple of feet longer than my other one, a mate had this festering in his field and decided I would have more use for it. Needs the brakes and wiring sorted out, havent checked the hydraulics on the tilt yet.

Cheap and cheerful Mountney wheel for the planet killing Viva, wanted one a bit bigger diameter so it didnt obscure the gauges, could have done with a bit more dish really but not much choice these days

If it's the 75 x 457 it's the same size as the small makita belt sanders , but they also did one that looks identical but takes a longer belt .
I've the makita and a lidl one it's not a bad machine for money I like the flip up cover on the front roller and the brackets for mounting it upside down . I generally grab any cheap belts I see in 75 x 457.

Scored a roll of scaffold netting. 2m wide and ?m long. Don't know what I'll use it for yet...

No good for garden netting, it wouldn't let pollinators like bees through...

I've acquired some more enerpac hydraulic rams. Unfortunately someone with a sniping tool beat me on the two enerpac pullers :mad:

A little stubby bit holder for my grab and go bag, not as nicely finished as my PB Swiss one, but seems pretty decent.

Slightly smaller than I expected, but does the job - and no, not the first time I've heard that. :laughing:
