A nice wee eclipse vice to use on my centec:

Perfect size to clamp to bed.

Not bad for £25 I think.

That's interesting, flip it over to use as a v-block.

Aye will need to keep a look out for suitable clamps or make them.

Original spec:

Thought I’d seen that before. Nice find.

(I had to make an instrument vice to drawings, and design 3 different means of holding it in any position 360, updown, 180 and clamp to the bench, and NOT be a direct copy of the Eclipse. Then build the better of the 3. For my EWTP exams)

I've replaced my Makita drill twice now, plastic gearbox packed up both times, the batteries were good which is why I bought a replacement body. They're obviously not designed very well as the same thing happened in the replacement, they have done me good service to be fair.

It was time for an upgrade though, much better and worlds apart in quality.

The missus is starting to worry me.. package arrived at her mums. She says it feels like a 'nameplate', what have you been buying ?? I am racking my brains trying to think
When i get my hands on it and open it up all becomes clear..
@doubleboost has shipped a pressie to me . Three of his finest 3MT tooling racks. So the afternoon was taken up cleaning them up by removing a bit of plasma slag.
Task two was to bend and then get them wipped over with some thinners.

On to primer and some satin black.

Much appreciated John, will post in all there glory once affixed and loaded with Drills

Im an artist and that’s what I want it for, projecting images. When it packs in I’ll buy another.

I have an old 3M overhead projector i use to set out shapes on walls for painting, maybe it should go more digital and get projector linked to a laptop lol

I’ll say! This is brilliant

 

[Agroshield]

Original spec:

The text says that it has interchangeable jaws (the upside down one in the picture has a different moving jaw), so you might find or make one of those too.

Today I acquired....a new appreciation for the phrase "well packed". Hunted high and low for a deep cycle that would fit the Figaro.

Weren't cheap...let's hope it bloomin fits!
