Nice find. Keep meaning to hunt down. Nice metric set.
, much better made thing than that POS that came the other day which will be winging its way back to Germany next week . Also got a 22pc broaching kit.

That looks like my little Sealey press, a good piece of kit. Good bit of tonnage but still small and light enough to pick up.
The "table" on mine has bowed though. Outwards, not downwards. That may've been a previous operator failure before i got it though.

I use my 10 ton porta power as a press. instead of the metal frame I just use the concrete side walls in my garage work pit as its 3 foot wide and solid

They're a bit hit or miss. Hand tools aren't great but i have some Sealey stuff that's very good; 2t engine hoist, long chassis jack, gearbox jack. I have 2 of their engine stands which are a bit rubbish but work ok.
Good brand hydraulic presses run into big money. My 25t Enerpac was £900 bought from some liquidator. My 15t CAM Equipment one is about £750 new.

I have a couple of big presses in the yard for the truck/plant gear, an old pre war clunker thats 65+ton and really nicely made,another which is a churchill 15ton floor standing which I move around with the forklift to wherever I need it. That little red one is surprisingly well made and just for working on the toys so I dont have to go out in the rain

Radial Arm Saw: device for sawing through the radius in the arm...

Only 30 foot.
Il raise you a 3kg lump of iroko thrown a good 30 meters or so from a table saw
Made an evil noise as it flew past my head.
Always had a healthy dislike for table saws and keep bits out of the way.

You should use several wooden feathers as a riving knife like they did in proper sawmills . & set up a one way angled six or seven blade comb /rake above the timber to hold it down to the bed as well as stop it coming back at you .

Last weekend I was ripping a three foot length of 1/4 inch thick x 2 inches wide soft pine strip into a half width length with my brand new ready to go Chinese bench saw .
I had a live knot about half way along , the blade was a 255 x 2.4 mm 40 tooth tungsten carbide tipped blade & set so no more than 1/2 of a tooth was through the wood .
Using the push stick to push it along the fence cutting into the knot ….. suddenly a big bang bit's of metal flung up from the blade & a horrible noise. Thankfully I've been taught to never stand directly at the end of the bench & push wood in ..do it whilst standing slightly to the side of the line of the blade whenever possible .
Struck the emergency stop & it stopped almost dead because of the brake . Pulled the strip up , the knot was barely cut through , examined the blade , 18 damaged teeth , three of them missing the entire TCT tip , bits of tungsten found in the dust extraction vacuum bag & outside the garage door. I guess a tooth came off when it caught the knot , stuck in the softer wood and took the rest of the teeth out etc..
New 80 tooth TCT blade arrived Friday afternoon . The cut finish when ripping or cross cutting is as good as a planer .Our MIS was offered a similar RAS for free. Some of the members had experience of using one in a production environment, they all had seen them bite back & they universally agreed they were far too dangerous to be let through the door of the Men's Shed!
I've just bought 10 of these.

I'm fitting them to all the stationary power tools at the Men's Shed to restrict their use to suitably qualified members. Once you're finished with the tool, push in the stop button & it can only be released by somebody with a key.

As long as he works!
I assumed that Henry was wet & dry once. Then found out otherwise after sucking a few litres of rainwater out of a flooded car and Henry's magic purple smoke came out.
