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

[cheb]

And also if you give the chisel a bit of a sharper angle they are good getting pallets apart. I need to put a longer handle on mine.

Plus, this size they are great to dismantle Norberts.

Stumbled across a pair of these two piece 16” arero wheels. God knows what we’ll do with them, I think the current thinking is split them and make two tall bar tables from each wheel.

London Bridge is down.

My condolences to all of you.

What happens when you go round a corner with that on a bike?

Nothing. Tens of thousands of miles of nothing.

 

[Farside]

The towbar frame grounds before you come off the tyre profile?

The camera angle is deceptive. The towbar frame is higher than, and inside the line of, the rear footpeg mounts.

Excellent.

I missed it the first time I read your post (and I'd already seen what Manx Radio was reporting)

With this long period of preparation and planning, even I over here - as the person who works through the Anglo news in this family - could not have missed this code: London Bridge is down.

More codes: Brenda has left and Brian will now be C3 ....

I think there is not one in this forum which has heard this, your other, now valid national anthem in earnest - not that particularly much changes ...

So far, the balance has been clear: what it cost your state came back in many times over through tourism alone.
It remains to be seen whether the glamour factor will continue to be so attractive in the future.

Perhaps he will use his position in connection with our apparent blackmailability in the energy sector to stimulate some further developments ....

However, it is much more important that you have lost a really important figure for identification, integration and unity - I hope that you will be able to move forward and up ....


(Dear Mods: this is not politics)


Good luck

Bought an Erbauer EAG2200 9" angle grinder. 85 quid.

This is only 5 quid less than a Makita GA9020S with soft start but no case but they only last 5 minutes
I've killed 3 Makitas so far, 2 just after one year, the other in a couple of weekends. Mainly used for backing off sandstone for walling.

Acquired, yet again, a feeling of time going by too fast.
My sworn allegiance was some 42 years ago !

Gave my Goldfish a new house..17 years old this little fella so he deserves it

Yes. I was watching it too. Then I thought what the heck, and jumped in with an offer.

 

[25.4_mechanic]

... a cordless straight grinder for tools with 6mm shanks - because I'm on the CAS platform (Cordless Alliance System), from Metabo.

I need to remove some undercoating and paint from the Unimog cab to be able to weld where I don't think I can get to otherwise.

From size, weight and price I am quite surprised - Metabo is quite proud of that machine with about € 300 without batteries or box.

First tries show that it has a dangerously high level of power!

Filter on the inlet is good. My grinder has that. Amazing the amount of crud it catches.

When is the wire brush coming…..

 

[25.4_mechanic]

When is the wire brush coming…..

Some wire brushes are already present, James,

they've run pretty peacefully on cordless drills so far.

This now is a whole different animal, both hands firmly on the device at all times and yet the beast overcomes you.

In addition, the thing seems to alert you when you have too much imbalance in the tool, there must be a good number of sensors in it -
very interesting that.

More wire brushes are on the way, including coiled ones - they will finally break both my arms ....

Sandstone dust is a killer for grinders. Sounds like you need a wet saw.

I used a mates stihl saw when I was backing off a lot of stone, that had a bottle to dampen the dust. I use the Makitas for smaller jobs. I read that there was a faulty batch of on/off triggers on some so I got an updated version, that lasted about two weeks!

I bought the second as I thought I could use the older one for parts, and the third was when the second one died when I was working away and I my dry stone waller was doing some paving for me. So it was buy one or he goes home.

I did a quick autopsy on a couple, I couldn't' find anything major wrong with them. Brushes ok, leads not FUBAR etc. At some point I'll take a closer look. I do have another spare trigger, this shows up as an intermittent fault, use it all day, then it stops just before your finished, You swear at it a few times, your about to throw it down the yard when it starts again!

I'm short of time at the moment, so bought the Erbauer, it will be interesting to see how it copes, its currently cutting sandstone roof tiles. I have a patio to do next year then I should be able to put these in a box at the back of the barn for a few years

Sandstone dust is also a killer for people.
Silicosis is a nasty desease and you can get it from lots of sources, not just sand blasting.
Cutting concrete dry is a common source, cutting sandstone dry is similar but turbocharged.
For this type of thing, if I can't use water, I use a PAPR grinding mask.
If I can use water I still wear a PP3 mask but the amount of dust generated is tiny compared to dry cutting.
