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

[Arc Tourist]

I like my coffee, and drink lots of it. Even though its considered a cheap brand, in my opinion it betters the high priced swill in taste. Lately I've noticed that the product on the shelves are sporting new packaging, and although the price is the same, the content has been reduced by 25%. While out shopping with the Wife today, we stopped in a local Pound shop for some AA batteries, and I noticed there were several cases of the boxes that I usually buy, so bought all that was there. That means getting 72 more cups of coffee for the current price of the newly packaged offering.

Shrinkflation stinks.
Companies that do it get black listed by me.
Toblerone were one of the first to try it on and that was years before this recent nonsense.

Andrex recently by me.

Got a good deal.o. this compressor..and the same model as the one I have.
300l and 24cfm now. Should run the blast cabinet and rest of the stull well.
If I can find space I'll get another tank.
Going to frame.them together and build a vented cabinet over them for there spot.

And I noticed that the original drive pulley is bigger than on the I already have.

Next week's job is to pipe them together.

I noticed this years ago overseas, Bleach use to come in One Gallon bottles, then the stores started selling the same brand in significantly smaller bottles at a lower price. The slogan if I recall was, it was lighter in weight for the user, or something similar. A few months later, the price was raised to that of the previous One Gallon bottles. I wonder how stupid they think the consumer is ? Well, obviously of course some are.

2 Mitutoyo calipers recently turned up: 1 believed to be good but needing a battery (new battery fitted - now working), the other as a non-working project to tinker with.

Next question, does anyone have any experience about bringing these back to life? Background info at https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/faulty-mitutoyo-help.139005/

Got this from amazon, as I am working outside I think it will be useful for washing off all the tree saw dust and dirt.

Seems reasonably effective, perhaps a little expensive. I need to find a suitable 10-15L container with a wide mouth screw lid to keep in the rear footwell of car.
(I currently use a 5L manually pumped garden sprayer, the sort intended for weedkiller etc...)

Got hold of a small metal bandsaw fairly local, old but looks well made. Just trying to find something similar on line to confirm the blade size, bit of string comes out at 124 cm. Does that sound correct?

It's not that common 1240mm is the thing to look for.

These people will do you one for about £15 for a 10/14 BiMetal

Looks a similar design to the warco cy90 they are 1300mm x 13mm (1/2inch) blades

Chain anvil, riveting punch aswell as some .325" spare links. Decided I will lengthen my 20" chains rather than shortening the bar, to fit the g372xp.

Thinks it is the same at the Chester H80 after some image searching so 1300mm

Next week's job is to pipe them together.

Set the pressure switches on the 2 units slightly different so that both don't start up together and overload your power supply. _

When I got home from a nice pub lunch, I found this small bundle.
Ty Norbert and co.

Most of the box's fell to bits. But the contents are as I pulled them into the house.
