Very desirable machine that

 

[Maker]

A dental motor!



The plan is to use it as a higher quality Dremel, or rather, a significantly cheaper Eneska micromotor. I've had this idea lingering for years and finally bitten the bullet, not sure if it'll actually work, I might end up putting it back on eBay in a few weeks.

I know it's a brushed DC motor, don't know the top speed or the voltage, though I assume 40,000 RPM at 24v. I also don't know what handpieces fit it, I've got a straight, 1:1 speed handpiece on the way but I'm basically just hoping it will fit. I need to find a decent foot pedal too, and make a controller to power it.

If there's any dentists on here who are more clued up about these things, please speak up!

make an ideal little die grinder to remove the identification numbers off your recent temp gauge

Too late in the day mate, they're all on the 15th hole by now...

Today I aquired...... road tax or VED for my recently aquired 2006 Ford Fiesta Diesel Van. I wasn't sure what the VED for this van was & thought knowing my luck it'll be £320 (but van was cheap).
So - pleasantly surprised to find 12-months tax is £140 .

A new thermometer to replace my ruined one.

Listed as spares or repair, the plan was to swap the front of the case with my still functional melted one, but it turns out:
A. It works absolutely fine, just missing it's battery cover.
B. It's actually better than my old one, I had a 62 MAX, this is a 62 MAX + (And was listed as a 64 )
C. The part of the case I was planning on using has been engraved with a number, which was carefully taped over in the eBay listing. Presumably the seller stole it from work and didn't want anyone recognising the asset number.

That's the mine
62 max
Mine too from eBay for such of good price
And mine too with numbers written on a side

Today is the day "I have one myself too..."

That's mine after I've restored it in 2018,mine's gasoline but as same as yours has a Lombardini engine ,three phase 4.5kW and single phase 3kW, 170ish amps .
Mines requires little bit of maintenance since last time I've used it few weeks ago wasn't running right , and kept dieing while striking the electrode although I've never done maintenance on it since 2018 and it has been used very little since I've got it .
But despite everything it always starts at second pull (mine doesn't have an electric starter)

 

[Memmeddu]

Found this one at home after opening the door.
I've bought it maybe 2 weeks ago can't remember now.
Anyway it has fuel into the tank,the pull cord is evidently broken ,decomp doesn't work but I've managed to make the engine turn and it has compression ,and it did a pop .
Choke doesn't disengage when I touch the throttle...
I think it should but actually never had a cut off saw in my hands before and I don't know if it works like a normal Husqvarna or jonsered chainsaw which release the choke lever when pressing the throttle .
I'm going to check quickly the pull cord and try to start it .
After that I'll empty the tank

 

[JOEPRO]

Not 1x but 2x Stihl Concrete saws:



The top one is a minter and needs nothing. Nearly two nice condition to use it!

The lower one was supposed to be a project bought as spares or repairs. Annoyingly I added fresh fuel and it fired right up and runs like a top

I have a service kit for it anyway and new belt as its missing that. I have already cleaned it well and will service it later then put that one to work on Saturday.

What I've said?
Today is the "I have one myself too day"

 

[anto44]

Picked this up a few weeks ago

 

[roblane65]

We seem to be having a bit of a run today .........

It will replace a well used ts400 , starts first pull , but the best bit is it takes a 14"/ 350mm blade . I can now cut all the way through single skin brick ordered a cheapie diamond of the bay for now . Shame the one in old sthil won't fit as it's been a belter .

the choke doesn't self release when you blip the throttle on these machines you have to return it .

 

[roblane65]

why wont it fit

because the sthil has a bigger bore and I don't have the correct spacer the husky is only 20mm bore . And I want a 350mm blade not a 300mm

Yes I have a mini lathe but I have not yet " acquired " the skills or tooling to make such an item , bad bad me !

I can think of one or two things which may temporarily interest me more.
