The carbide inserts look to be used. They're worth £6 a kilo scrap.

Yeah i had a quick look and most are used but quite a few are ok

 

[Maker]

If you've got silver solder and a diamond wheel, those old plain inserts are quite handy for custom tooling.

Victor grinder from @Seadog



Gold medal screwed together packing

Super smooth old heavy Stanley made in the USA, will strip and tart up a bit.

The rests are lovely chunky things on their own.

 

[DAPPH]

Was it very dear?

It might have been , he was feeling horny

 

[nickk]

Any chance of a photo of that?

Especially for you. I’ve had it 21 years,it’s used every day.

 

[Farside]

Not sure whether Missus will like this but I couldn't see it go in the skip

Coats, socks, cameras, knickers and handbags all need somewhere to hang next to the front door.

That's a sturdy looking machine. Nice.

At £16.99, it seemed rude not to.

How much were the battery and charger to go with it?

 

[Rannsachair]

Not bought any kit for a while, much as I would like a Quantum micrometer, I could not justify the cost, so picked up a second hand Tessa 0-30mm for £50. It seems pretty good and checked with a slip gauge ok.

I didn't get batteries or charger, so I didn't notice. I already have some of their 12V batteries, hence why I didn't look.

Those are seriously good those micrometers.
See all the plastic shrouding - to keep the temperature of your mitts from affecting the reading.

0-30 is nice too if you do a lot of work around the 25mm mark you're not right at the limit of the micrometer.

 

[dieselsamurai]

Found these in a garage im clearing for a friend she just said take them as niether of her sons want to help




there are literally 100s of these too but cant find anything they fit in not idea why he had them, just random piles of them all over

 

[cheb]

Not today, but I had a good look over it and tried it out. The grinder I got from scruffywelder on here recently. It takes over 3 minutes from switching off to stopping spinning.
