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

[oldbikedavey]

A rather battered BSA B.25 inner timing cover , which will enable me to get some very useful dimensions for a clutch lifter modification that I'm working on.
Might even take an internal cast in something, just to be sure ....

Well, had a frantic day finding bits for me little van, down to my pal's scrapyard soon as I could and of course the bits I wanted were on a car four cars up. Took a while but it now drives absolutely mint. Anyhow upon my return home I found this outside the front door:

It is a three meter long length of Phos Bronze bar. I was gobsmacked, I had ordered three 12" lengths. Imagine then my astonishment when the email arrived advising me that "we are sorry we were unable to fulfill all of your order". In my innocence I imagined someone had b uggered the order up and sent me one three meter length instead of three lengths, no, two more will be here on Monday apparently!

(please excuse the wonky paving, I am trying to decide the best way to fix them down, really annoying at the moment) No doubt going to become it's own thread.

I ordered one weeks ago and was cancelled. Last week I wanted something else and saw these were still listed, and price dropped to £2.99 each, and with it showing one in stock for next day. I ordered 4 to make up my basket for free delivery, knowing these likely get cancelled again. Had a delayed email.

A fairly unadulterated Denford Micromill and computer converted to Linux CNC. Spindle upgraded to a Router but has all the original parts (old motor needs new brushes I think)

Back view only as it's still in the car!

A better view apparently it's a Micromill 2000! main unit is dated 2001 and the driver board is a 2004.

TRAINS

TRAINS

WOW, thanks I would not of guessed.

TRAINS

These days it's more likely to be a rail replacement bus service.

Changing those haybob tines and springs can be quite an "interesting " experience

You notice there is no station, so no pickets.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Plus.

 

[fizzy]

No sadly not. My home built small cnc mill is based on the Sieg x1 or in my case its Axminster clone.

I shall have to find a manual, all the springs need doing but I was aware when the folding stuff changed hands

 

[Dr.Al]

Well that's rather nice:

Well deserved.

 

[droopsnoot]

A load of power tools and a dehumidifier, from someone who's been paying to keep them, along with a load of other stuff, in a storage unit, and finally got fed up of it. A Hilti battery drill with two batteries and charger, Performance Products Jig-saw, angle grinder, power planer and belt sander, a B&D sander, reciprocating saw and a "Powerdri" dehumidifier. I'll have to try them out, see how many of them work.
