I wonder if they'd miss their door stop?

Yes they did.

I am in a frame of my life where I'm buying machining tools and I honestly wish I'd started sooner .
Here what I've got today a Gühring M16 machine tap .

I think it's about 250mm long ,it might come handy one day

Today I acquired a new scrounge, free customer returned paint, most of what I've opened so far I can't see anything wrong with it.
I reckon loads are returned because the customer changes their mind on the colour or the paint has separated a bit and just needs stirring.

I got given a huge tub of that Leyland paint. Had been unused for months and completely separated. Power drill with my homemade stirrer and two minutes later it was perfect.

Took the plunge and bought a 3D scanner. Initial impressions is that it is pretty well made. Have a lot of parts coming in to replicate, so scanning originals will pay it off rather quickly

From Zorro all for my Boxford Shaper, 7/16 largest tool bit it’ll take and getting serious with an array of different bits to grind.(i’m only messing about, lets face it piece of **** but satisfying when then they cut well.)

At £11 the smallest 25mm Thor will be great for tapping down and minor adjustments when setting up.

Wanted a 200mm vernier but the prices get quite staggering for the decent make(double the price for extra 50mil!)

Always find the 150 vernier isn't as nice in the hand when maxxed as latest project is getting close to topping it out. Chose £40 200mm oxford precision and I'm pleasantly surprised it feels very nicely made, defo substantial upgrade from aldi lidl level anyway. I’ve used the normal top makes at work and this one feels nicer than them. Controversial…! I know.
