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

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I got this Raw Plug Hand drill for Christmas.

Mrs TYA brought as a present.

But finding good bits has bean difficult. Flea bay ones go for daft money or are no more than scrap.

But, today a box arrived. That is why I am in the wood shed writing this.



The box, it was surprisingly heavy.



4 bits for the drill. 2 original Raw plugs and 2 of unknown make. Well I can't make out a makers name yet.

Ah, but can she see it with that shed door open?

Hush you, my cunning plan is working.

Hush you, my cunning plan is working.

I have some of them bits you're welcome to them if they're of any use?

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Yes, please.

Got an old Record 18" a few days ago, soaked it in oil, it was totally seized. Now manually cleaning it, I can't get it apart yet.

I may try acid as I see people on here do. At work we have sodium bisulphate

( a weak powdered acid) and hydrochloric acid (probably far too strong but watered down?)

'probably carry on manually cleaning it..

It's citric acid you want, get it online as a powder (More like granulated sugar actually). HCL will cost more damage the non-rusted steel.

A heavy haul today, a good friend was having a major sort out and dumped this lot on me

Cebora 330 mig, apperntly good working order



A pallet load of bits including a rotary table , another with a three jaw bolted to it, two six inch machine vices, a mother of a tilting vice, a couple of smaller chucks, a curt tap holder and a two big boxes of drills, collets and cutters.

My Record 24 take-to - work ( inherited) : )
Any tools left in swimming pool plantrooms rust very quickly due to the chlorine atmosphere ; either bring 'em home or zip up in a bag.

8ob: You jammy sod.

Is it just the adjuster which is locked solid? I'd clamp that knurled adjuster in the vice, lather with light oil and then work the body back & forth to free it.

 

[Maker]

I spy some horizontal milling cutters in that it that lot, I know someone who would save you storing those if you're not going to use them yourself?

Be patient young man, I have no need for most of the boxed contents so will bung them up on the freebees section when I have time to sort through them . You can have first shout on the cutters.

.That atmosphere also kills fire extinguishers.

Is that little milling vice, (in the box with those cutters & drill bits), going to be up for sale too?

 

[God mode restorations]

Yup. Have a few purdys from when I was making and painting kitchens. Worth the pennies.

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

tool co, Sheffield 'die' which I thought was a quality holder for my taps (never had my specs on) it is 3/16th.

Funnily enough I bought a similar die holder thinking it was a tap holder too.
