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

Not sure if carver clamps have any identification markings but certainly looks like a good quality item. I’d say it’s a keeper

On the subject of greae guns..

A while ago i bought a John Deere-branded grease gun to use instead of the awful Sealey one we get issued at work. Finally put a cartridge in it today and tried it out. Works really well! Hand pump is much easier than i thought it would be, the end connector very good, tip it to the side and it pops off, flexible hose is so much better than the rigid pipe.

I think i paid about 35 quid from Farol the John Deere dealer in Thame.

Picked this Evolution chop saw up on Monday (been too busy to post til now) after I missed out on a few. Got it for £120 and only a few months old. Bought it from a lovely chap from Mold who’s son was passing right where I was working so dropped it off on his way to Rochdale. Winner winner I say.

Was also given this humongous clamp, don’t know what or if I’ll use it on but you can see the size of it next to one of my 6” Carver’s and my size 11’s!!!

Ive got the cheap version. Really good saws, then bought the 185mm circular saw easily cuts 6mm sheet.

I found a lovely knock off Suzuki online. Hopefully the engine’ll run as that’s the only bit I want.

I used to have the hand held circular saw too, never cut 6mm steel mind. I bet it screamed it’s head off getting through it?

Another toy for the collection.

Set up to play samples and midi patterns via the pads.
Like this only much worse.

Downloaded the project videoed for a test.

Got this tub of Gyproc filler

today going spare and did the walls in my man cabin, Quick sand and they should be ready to go.

Extendable legs from a portacabin. It may not look like it but you are actually looking at a hydraulic press. Just a little tickling with the grinder first.....

I have used my Evolution circular saw on 10mm steel plenty of times and even 12mm on a couple of occasions and it coped admirably.

What? What did you say?

If you are referring to my post then it was surprisingly quiet, certainly quieter than the plasma and quicker too. Straight lines only obviously.

If i was in your work shop you would never have a messy bench and i would constantly tidy and fit shelves..then you would never find anything and you would want to kick my arris lol

 

[Windy Miller]

Surprising. I have a chopsaw of theirs with a metal cutting blade. Not that I have ever tried it on steel,but always thought the neighbors three streets over would here me cutting steel with it

I have a cheapy Evolution sliding chop saw with the wood/metal blade. It cuts 150x6 mild steel with ease and it even cut some heavy 80x40(ish) channel one day. It whizzed through it but the noise is absolutely shattering! Deffo need ear defenders. And don’t get me started on the hot shrapnel!

I really HATE the noise and the shrapnel, but it’s such a useful tool.

If only it were quieter...

Mine is the metal cutting circular saw, I have had it for at least 15 years and it is used mainly on Aluminium and I just buy the rage blades for it nowadays as they are much cheaper. It is meant to cut up to 6mm steel but as I said I have quite often chopped up sheets of 10mm and when I was doing a repair to a pier I used it to trim 12mm sheets. It is not really any noisier on steel than it is on Aluminium, either that or I am just deaf

 

[Melvyn Best]

Many years ago when I made a few control cables for motorbikes we used a sharp cold chisel to cut the cable, it was quicker and easier than the proper tool and left a nice end to the cable. Lay the cable on an anvil or vice and give the chisel a sharp tap to cut . Sorry this is in reply to Makers post

I acquired by me, transported by me.
But Not for me, but for MIS.



Needs some work.
Well it doesn't run.
The action of the arm seams to be very "notchy".



It should be a useful tool for MIS.

They are. Never bothered finding one as I'm on site day in day out. Track saw is a better option then.
