Is that your weekend wardrobe?

I always wanted a go in a human carrying one of those, they mostly seem to be closed now, damn H&S to somewhere horrid.

It's still there, first time I used it I accidently went over the top. Nothing happened, it just came back down the other side like normal, but I know someone who did it and got stuck for over an hour.


Essex Uni have one too, only other one in the UK I believe.

Had to Google it.

The Sheffield one is now open again

One of two in the UK

230 in Germany, mainly Berlin, and 63 in Czech Republic.

Now we know.

I think the Ferris wheel contraption in the OP is probably going to drive you nuts quickly to be honest. I can see it being a big snakes wedding of wires and wobbly grinders.

I may be wrong.

Leicester de Montfort had one, I used to see a girl up there years ago

Just googled it and it’s been sadly replaced

It was surprisingly fast and seriously fun for a lift

Grinding disc, flap disc, cut off disc, I usually have 3 on my rack. One let the magic electric smoke out recently, needs replacing.

Those aren't bench grinders.

I stand by my comment, 5 bench grinders is excessive, that's 10 different wheels to choose from. He's been posting about having too much stuff, needing to clear out, etc. Rather than make revolving shelf contraption to store everything, condense it down to what's actually needed.

ive four ,,,
one for tungstens , one side steel one side alloy
one for wire wheels , one brass one steel
one for actual grinding
oh and a polisher too , ,,, gods things add up.

Looks like I need a carousel too now ,,, bugger.

Must admit that’s what was thinking.

I’ve two.

One does tungstens and drill bits.

Other has wire wheels on.

Forget this and get on with the decluttering - "procrastination is the thief of time".

Decluttering on hold.

Wife's is ill due to covid jab. I feel fine but she has the strength of a butterfly.
Worst she has been following covid jab.
But we had both at the same time yesterday.
Mine was one in each arm.
Wife's right arm is hypersensitive as its the right side taken by stroke. So she had flu and covid in the same arm.

My right arm feels awful, as if Tyson Fury has been using it as a punch bag. But I feel fine in myself.

Ooops, blond moment. I actually only have one bench grinder, so point taken.

Too much crap. Not grinders...lol

I probably don't " need" 5 but they all have different wheels or mops on.

What about polishing mops and deburring brass wheel etc.

dont ask ,,, but I think ive now got nearly thirty 115mm grinders ,,

I work in a few different places , and have kit in them all...

I wouldn't put a polishing mop anywhere near an abrasive or wire wheel. That might simplify your layout if one or two grinders can be placed away from the rest, you could probably avoid the whole Ferris Wheel thing.

good point

 

[slim_boy_fat]

I misunderstood the type of grinder involved , but how time consuming can it be to swap over wheels? Unless you're on piece work that is.

actually its very time consuming , if your doing a lot of fettling fitting patches as an example ,, your trimming an edge laser disc , clean off edge flap disc , shift a bit of paint scotch pad , dress the patch again , fit patch and trim down tacks standard disc , touch the back edges of the cut hole fiberdisc , all in rapid succession, a wheel change at every operation soon adds up , especially if you need to take the gloves off every time to swap ,,, far faster to just pick up another machine and keep the artistic flow happening ...
well thats how I find it.

I may not be on piece work ,,, but I work on pieces .

 

[slim_boy_fat]

...to just pick up another machine....

But we're talking bench grinders?

 

[minimutly]

They had one at Sheffield Uni when I was toying with going there. Awkward thing really and relies on some common sense and coordination. Don't find much of that at university.

Is this dejavue? Or have we discussed this before??

I thought we were back to 115mm again lol

on the bus ,,, off the bus .
