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

[Parm]

None in stock at yours?

Nope

 

[JOEPRO]

More parkside performance stuff from fb marketplace locally. Less than a year old receipts included and still under warranty. Bosch SDS bit set too. £60 the lot was great price.



I am a Milwaukee fanboi but for items like these which I can't justify new Milwaukee for with my use level Parkside Performance is very good IMO. Brushless motors etc. And hard to find so if I see it at a good price I buy it.

Arrived Thursday, I need to get a move on with my extension

 

[RichardM]

@Cheesie what is it?

 

[droopsnoot]

I went back to Lidl this morning, as well as buying a mains impact driver I scored two decent pizzas that were less than half price.

 

[Cheesie]

@Cheesie what is it?

A 1250x3.25 edwards true cut guillotine, should do most of what I need

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

[Gragson]

Platform as have what seems like 70 meters of ground floor fascia to do zzzzzzzzzzzzzz



And 102mm Bosch progressor as need to make some bigger holes.
Annoying thing is, no space left in the box!

The beauty of it is that it's 3/4 whitworth. Happy days

For your Asquith?

No. My asquith is a pillar drill not the radial type that's most common.

Wont some of the hole saws stack inside each other?

 

[seriesonewelder]

Went to the Trimpley vintage show today, 2 minutes from the house these were at the roadside:
The bar is 66" x 1"


At the show a vendor had three 12" carvers for sale,
I asked "how much are the clamps" (out of idle curiosity as I didn't intend to buy)
"which ones" he says
"these red ones" says I holding one up
"£5" replied the vendor
I took all 3
"you can never have enough clamps" says he as I handed over the cash
I agreed with him as I gave him my thanks

 

[MattF]

Wont some of the hole saws stack inside each other?

Nope. They have a fitting on them to enable use with the quick release adapter.

 

[Blobber]

Nope. They have a fitting on them to enable use with the quick release adapter.

Oh, they're bulky old things then not like the starrett hole saws

 

[Seadog]

No. My asquith is a pillar drill not the radial type that's most common.

Ah, what's the radial that you have?

 

[God mode restorations]

Ah, what's the radial that you have?

Ah...yer totally forgot about that. Yes that is asquith....a blonde moment lol
