This confirmed my thoughts.
Yea few others suggested that and I might, know someone who works at Strathclyde uni in Glasgow which has a very professional advanced materials lab that might be able to help more than my plan of simulating a fall factor 1 fall from a tree tomorrow

Use a top rope backup and video itYea few others suggested that and I might, know someone who works at Strathclyde uni in Glasgow which has a very professional advanced materials lab that might be able to help more than my plan of simulating a fall factor 1 fall from a tree tomorrow
Trees are very bendy, so while its a good initial test the force will be lower than a bolt in rock.
I use machine taps for nearly everything, by hand, lathe or cordless drill. Most good machine taps are HSSE/cobalt but very few hand taps are.
Form taps give a better thread, I would like to get form taps for M4,M5 and M6.
I need a spark plug adaptor so I have ordered one of these, slight use OSG taps.

It appears they have 5 or so listings, and have sold a thousand + of these taps, all with good feedback. I can only assume a car manufacturer must be getting a new one out for every engine?
What else is m14 1.25, used for?
True but don't forget climbing rope is dynamic and works best over a long distance so a 1m fall tied to a thick branch will be a pretty good test and probably just as sore as using a static rope, I'll prep some ice packs

Same here, I use them by hand, in the drill, or on the power tapper.Use a top rope backup and video it

But I use the cutting ones only, never used forming taps, here's why I've asked.
I think I have smaller sizes too, I have to check, I surely have M8x1.25, M10x1, M12x1.5
And yes I think M14x1.25 is used mostly for spark plugs holes.
Just wondering... Should forming taps be more indicated to reclaim ruined threads?
I thought that since they don't remove material they might be used for that giving better results

I keep forgetting to post when I get hold of a 'new' toy.
I'll make a resolution to catch up.
Latest was this, only bought it because it was only £10 via Amazon, and it is a Tend. Sorry, didn't give you a heads-up, and it's for wood too.

It's a corner chisel for cutting/tidying corners on a rebate for hinges etc.

After much debating and great advice, I ordered the wrong Magnet Wand for WitchieePoo.
Fortunately, came to my senses and cancelled the wrong one, and ordered this one.
Brill, WitchiePoo happy and I got away with a useful tool bought for her Birthday!

Amazons, they skipped my delivery yesterday so had to reorder and cancel.
I wanted an easy start recoil for my chinese combi engine. Usually hate the things, but should save ripping my arm off. Reviews were mixed so I ordered three and will return the most expensive as they break, they appear identical so I have no idea which was what.
A chuck. Its 1/2" unf which should fit my parkside drill, but I really would prefer a 3/8 UNF to fit the Fakita, but not many go upto 13mm.
Mini induction heater pcb, smaller than I expected and the board appears good quality. It should be adequate for warming bolts or shrink fits using a power tool battery.
Cheap cruicible to try, smaller diameter and taller than my others, that may allow me to get more heat in and then melt a quantity of brass.

I got mine from TEMU as part of a parcel of things to make the minimum sale post free , IIRC it was half the Trend price and it looks identicalTrend Corner Chisel. Heads up, that's actually a good price, there.

Couldn't resist, not just for the Makita 5143R, but that they were £170 for the pair.
The angle grinder is Makita GA9020S both are 110v.

Theres a few posts on it in the metal melter thread. This is the big one, watercooled with a 3kw 48v power supply and I have had 54 amps running through it before.
These resonant types will heat steel with no issue, but they will also heat pure graphite cruicibles like the one above, not so well however they dont have a curie point, so they heat past 750c.
40x40x70 lump of steel, took 20 mins to stop glowing.
Anyway these small ones should be good for heating bolts and small things, they need 20v+ so a tool battery is good for short use.

Apart from a resolve to cast up a BSA Bantam cylinder barrel of an entertaining sort, mostly the knowledge that a mate of mine knows someone who was likely the first person to engage in Morris Dancing in North Korea.
Quite a thing, is that.
