I have a contact that can get these catalogue returns for around 2/3 of retail cost. Would need to buy at least 10 at a time, so if anyones interested pm me.
Just in case anyone's interested, the 6" version of this arrived this morning:

Thanks Andy,
Just come off the phone with axminster tech support & they reckon that will do just what I want, so have ordered the 150mm one. :)

Hi all,
Does anyone know where I can get some drawings / plans to make a sheet metal folder :confused:
I need to fold lots of 2.5mm plate to 90 degrees and have gotten fed up of hammering it in the vice. :( The plates I'm bending at the mo are only 100mm wide but one that could do up to...
No I'm not throwing my toys out Steve. To the contrary, I am extremely pleased with my new toy. Especially after getting it for SIXTY QUID less than your quote.:hug::D;)
Weldequip.
I asked you for your contact information so that we could have a chat on the phone before placing the order with you. Yes it was a Saturday afternoon, so what :confused: You didn't reply :( When you finally got in touch the following Tuesday it was to ask "Have you made a decision...
Months??? Weldequip months??? I only joined the forum last month. :confused:
I was so so close to ordering from you though, & yes to be fair you did do a lot of "spade work". It was just only a slight communication error between us that got me looking into other possible sources of supply...
Don't want to make anyone jealous or anything :rolleyes: but look what I got today :p
Same as MTA & Weldequip sells but I got it through my local dealer. ;) Just been playing with it & it is absolutely superb.:cool::D:D:D:cool:

Is it for sale by any chance??? If so can you clarify the following points before I make you an offer. :fish:
How many gears has it got. :confused: Whats the motors power (in Watts please -...
I have never seen one that can drill at angles Ratty. But yes they are excellent for drilling holes through thick steel. The small Evolution one will drill up to 35mm diameter, the medium one will drill 50mm & the large one 75mm. All drill up to 50mm deep. :D
These are also known as Broaching...

I would guess that as the disposeables hold around 950cc then a 10l will last around 10x longer.
Considering that disposeables cost aroun £8 and a pub bottle around £10 to refill - simple economics really. ;)
You can see an example of what weldequip is talking about on ebay item 140143810729 as compared to a proper speedglass 200137614158.
I bought a cheap ebay one around 2 years ago made by "Valley" . Supposedly an american make but turned out to be total crap. :(:mad:
