A little 0-15mm mitutoyo mic i picked up off ebay, secondhand but zero's bang on and it has the vernier scale to read to the micron (0.001mm). Paid very little for it, so i'm happy.

Congrats, that's a nice acquisition !

I was lucky enough to find a vintage Moore & Wright 1/2" mic. that reads in tenths, which came in a spectacle case; its my go to micrometer for small work.

4 sided sharpening stone.
200, 400, 600 1,000 grit.

It needed a dust off and with a honing guide does put a decent edge on a chisel.

Acquired this 12 months ago at a Christmas bazaar in a lovely Somerset hamlet whilst visiting friends. I had to leave it behind however as we were in the wife's car and there wasn't room for everything once we came to leave for home, this year we went in my daily driver. £1 per drawer.

They are cracking bits of kit.
Crud buster or mbx under different names.
Properly evil but one of the fastest ways of removing stone chip, underseal and sound deadening.

I have one of those. I use it for cleaning my sharpening stones.

Yeah tried it out today on the boot floor of an 89 fiesta and it's awesome, way more effective than a wire wheel in a grinder. Just need to find a supplier for the belts

What is it

What is it

Vape pipe, the normal looking one I have had for the last few months keeps getting broken in my pocket, hoping this one is more durable.

I know you can get the MBX belts/wheels from https://www.rust.co.uk/product/cat/mbx-consumables-47. Let me know if you find any other sources though – I've got one of the electric MBX tools, but I've not christened it yet

Hehe, that was so close to being "is that a pipe in your pocket?..."

Thanks for the links .
Hopefully the belts last a long time considering the price of them.

@anto44 have you a link to where you got it?
Fancy one of these but can't justify the price of a bristle blaster
