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

[sardine]

These are the dog's danglies, cuts ,doesn't saw and make a mess , no effort required it just glides through 40 mm Celotex and keeps a dead straight cut, you can shave off a 4 /5 mm slices no problem. Worth every penny in my opinion.

I used my tracksaw and extractor last week for slicing celotex.

Will grab one of those. Your not the first to mention then to me

 

[bigegg]

a new headtorch.

described as "90000LM 5X T6 LED Headlamp" on the bay.

10.72, including batteries (18650s). + a battery charger and uk adaptor.

the separate charger and adaptor added 2 quid to the price.
waste of money: they went straight in the bin.
will charge with a usb b cable direct to battery box.

the headlamp itself feels very solid and wellmade, with a good light spread, and plenty of options for which lamps are illuminated.

Got myself a cheap little welding table today , all stainless steel with 2 drawers and on wheels ,I'm happy

It's not big , Size is 1200 x 595 x 790 but it'll do for me and like I said it was cheap

Nice, and far from cheap when new. Bare in mind using the table as a ground will arc pit the top. Better off grounding to the material. This is especially true when welding stainless

From past experience with this type of torch
Look closely at the batteries. Quite often marked at 4000mah or similar but when stuck on a digital charger they are tiny capacity. Charge quick and die in 15 minuites.

Worth buying a nitecore charger

 

[Shox Dr]

Went to the tip, and came back with a rebadged Ebac Dehumidifier. proper old school no brains/pcb keeps going jobby
Obviously not shiny enough for someone

mrsegg has a nitecore charger (which i bought for her with the ecig) - i'll give the batteries a blast to see what they're like

Thankyou , it was my intention to ground the table but now you've explained what will happen i will clamp the work

You obviously live in a more civilised/sensible part of the UK than I do - at our local tip there are signs everywhere saying it is an offence under regulation blah blah blah to take anything away from the tip. Some codswallop about stopping the spread of diseases; probably trying to make sure they can sell on the scrap metal for profit.

Is that Horsley tip, Dr Al? They caught me taking something from there, there was a bucket with some tools in beside the skip. I saw a drill vice in there, picked it up & chucked it in the car, the guy rushes out of the portacabin starts to say something, looks in the bucket & sees a load of screwdrivers. He then looks around, grabs the screwdrivers & hides them in his overalls, then says you’ve got to take care, it’s all on camera you know. Had a few run ins with them over the years with what they will take, generally with the young blond kid, not seen him for a while.

Yeap Horsley tip indeed. Really can't get my head round why re-use of stuff is discouraged. Surely it's better than recycling in terms of energy use etc. Whatever happened to "reduce, reuse, recycle, in that order"?

[Tupers]

After having to send the first one back due to some dodgy quality control my long awaited English Wheel arrived.

I also got a couple new sets of allen keys to replace my miss matched black oxide set.

No really, I’ve seen whole sets of tools, virtually shed fulls going into the metal skip & then smashed by stuff chucked on top, breaks my heart.

Not with buying anything unbranded with batteries or LEDs off eBay, the Chinese tell whoppers about the wattage and amp hr capacity.

Like the 200 amp welders that only put out 120 amps.

In that condition I would sell it to a restaurant and buy the steel for a proper heavy duty welding table.

Looking forward to joining the ranks of the legendary blues harmonica players.

If you'd said you fancied one, you could have had my Koch Harmonica 'Chromatic'. Can I play it? No, but I can make noise enough to frighten animals and small children....

a new headtorch.

Why did I immediately think of this - you will be assimilated
