First time I've come across either of these processes, looks fantastic. Can you shed some light please as a quick Google didn't show the difference between the two?

Ah, that's a little bigger than I was looking for - mine was for doing stuff like brake disc backing shields, maybe around 9" diameter. I don't do it very often, and there's ways around it, it's just something I'd like if it was cheap. Thanks for the thought though.

Replacing my Benzomatic torch with a Rothenberger SuperFire 2 as recommended on here. Only connected it to a bottle to check over but makes a change to instant lighting and having an adjustable flame. Extension Hose and Bag only added an extra £28 to purchase.

The rototec is for building up rotating components like shafts or wheels etc in a lathe. You spin the part at a given rpm/diameter. Spray the powder on at a 100° preheat. You then have a choice, some powders you leave in a cold state and some powders you can spray then fuse to the shaft making a metallurgical bond, much like brazing.
The cold powders ensure no shaft distortion or warping. Adhesion obviously isn't as strong as it relies on a micro bond between each droplet of powder and the part.
When you fuse them the powder the boron and silicon form a fluxing agent and you get a proper bond to the part.
The eutalloy process is primarily for hardfacing. But you can basically puddle weld with nickel powder. That is good for cast iron, tool steels, anything crack sensitive.

Some heavy duty castor wheels, cast wheels, greasable, 4 fixed and 4 locking swivel, unfortunately the swivel doesn't lock just the wheel, but for £20 I'm not complaining!
Also a load of carbide milling cutters, all new thechnicut, all sorts of profiles and sizes, I'll be adding the guys Facebook post to the for sale section as he's not wanting stupid money for them, these 33 cost me less than 5 quid each!
