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

[Hood]

I literally just googled rexroth purple! Not on the hydraulic systems we bought, lol
We matched the radial piston motors colour with the steelwork and brackets etc, and I remember thinking, that colour looks like Lorch colour. Sad I know.

Anyway that grinder doesn't look white, it looks green

I was meaning your Lorch is purple, It isn't really but I know how much you like purple so I thought I would say that to cheer you up.

Green!! Green!! man you seriously need an eye test, it is most definitely not green it is in fact a genuine shade of clorty.

I'm sure the colour code for Lorch is similar to Bosch Rexroth which is traffic orange, I believe
I've always thought it was orange, maybe its just me

Must be me... or the daylight up here... or my perception of orange...

Are you saying that Parweld stuff is actually a shade of orange?

Aye it all turns clorty eventually...

I've got the same hose - really like it as it extends about 12-14ft but wraps up nice and neat. It's also survived being stood on several times...

You should be in the circus if you can stand on your hose

If you are using that for pulling away welding fumes which I assume you are , Would be great to know how you get on with it was looking into to get a similar setup

I recently sold the Sealey one I used on the plasma, they work great or at least that one did, I would sometimes see the aluminium dross shoot out and that was it being pulled 3m through the ducting.

Good to hear , I used to just only do stick welding outside but now I have a welding table and mig setup I'm inside more and thinking I should get something set up instead of just relying on a draft with the 2 doors which works slowly.

EWM... white
R-Tech... blue
Oxford... green
Tec-Arc... another blue
Lorch... on the orange to red spectrum (a point for debate)
JASIC... very much orange
Parweld... violet (I say violet rather purple as it is technically correct on the colour wheel)
ESAB... utterly yellow
Sherman... yet another blue
Böhler/Selco... ditto
GYS... either white (silvery white?) or another yellow
Stealth... black as the ace of spades
Miller... yet another blue someone found on the RAL chart
Lincoln... ditto but red

Best I ever used I think was called "Solopol" or something like that, had ground up walnut shells in it, it was magic.

FWIW, Lidl W5 hand cleaner in a tin is incredible... at 1.50 Euro

I use either swarfega orange with I believe corn meal in it, or permatex fast orange with pumice in. Both work great but some stuff still doesn't come off, minging old grease is one culprit

Can’t find item number,but it’s on eBay,via a Czech seller,with good feedback and 30 day free returns,some have the same product,with terrible feedback.
