Hello,
Do you have a manual for this machine? I have found a Valvemaster FE. The machine is very complete but I don't see how the rocker grinder works.... Can you advise me there?
Thx,
Pieter

Yet another type of thing I class as a weekly. Blind curves & bends, blind brows, double whites etc. I dice with death on a weekly basis. Good job I stay on the ball. I seem to have a sixth sense for numpties, & I encounter more than my fair share.

Don't like the look of that pallet, or the tie wraps holding it on.
Nice anvil though, how heavy is it?

Yeah not so keen one the cable ties but I think they are for show. Its boxed in fairly by the 2x4 around the bottom. I did point out it'll be on a ferry for part of its journey but hey ho. I aint the one gotta pick it up if it tips 
Not sure of the weight, apart from 'Heavy as f**K' according to the seller. Apparently he had a buyer lined up for it Saturday, turned up in a ford Ka and wanted it forklifted into the boot!!
Its 120cm point to point if that aids the guessing. The loadall has a load cell on it so I will be able to report back.....

It'll make a mess of the courier as well
I thin they are holding some soon to be broken bits of wood to it, rather than it to the pallet . .Don't like the look of that pallet, or the tie wraps holding it on.

Plenty of spares in their box.
Break out a new one, this one has gone floppy.
It would have been easier to drop it through the sunroof.

I really have no idea what the tie wraps are doing but we will see how it gets on I suppose. I know the carrier, we use them a lot, and it will most likely be picked up from Glasgow then over to Aberdeen, where it'll go on a trailer to the ferry. As space is a premium on the ferry spec units, they tend to wedge stuff in like Tetris on steroids. They'll have that in really tight, so as long as it doesnt make a bid for freedom across Scotland it'll be fine

yep agreed, he's bought an anvil, and some kindlin, for the fire.... when it arrives, think of it as a bonus, and justification for the wife, I brought heat in to the house....
not jealous in anyway shape or form..... been looking for a decent anvil for a while, seen plenty junk, fit for scrap, or the same price as if it was made of solid gold, but haven't yet found an anvil in good condition at the right price... I suspect that am I indeed searching for unobtanium..... well done.

First time I got on the Hamnivoe at Scrabster I wondered why all the chairs and tables were wired to the floor.
Then we got into the Pentland Firth and I knew.
Hope your anvil doesn't get the same trip.
the ferry crew will be thinking the same thing
....hahahahah.... that thing could take out a few decks on it's way to the bilges or beyond.....

Cheers. I have Been Looking for one that's useable for ten years on and off. Give £400 for it, so I think it's fair. Came from a stable yard at Loch Lomond. It's been there 60 years he knows of
