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

[Memmeddu]

Amazon order
Rear window wipe for my little Punto.
24pcs 53x53x17mm plastic boxes to encourage me to finish to clean up and store my threading dies... Maybe.
And new Jel insoles because it's finally time to retire my safety boots after almost two years of service.
I can't actually believe they lasted so long, especially in a machine shop, always covered in oil, walking on chips, slags, showered with molten metal etc.
But most importantly they protected my feet by all that.
I remember the older ones I was coming back home with new burns on my feet everyday.

A big bag of battery clip things from AliExpress:

Should help with one of the headaches designing/making the 3D adapters and save me having to salvage ones from old Makita batteries. They're pretty heavy duty too.

I've got 3 old 18V NiCad DeWalt batteries waiting to go to the tip, would the cases be of use to you? (I'd strip the cells out to reduce weight/allow posting)

It will allow me, or A N Other to make this sort of thing for old DeWalt kit, the Ferrex to DeWalt adapter I made for @ukracer that EVRI lost! I am still miffed about that. It was a really nice print

Here's the ready to tap Tapmatic , all the relevant bits fitted, cant wait to give it a spin

 

[Seadog]

How difficult was the arbour to remove?

 

[Memmeddu]

I've had to do that.
No way I could have left there to someone else to buy it
300 euro to get this
200A AC DC TIG new fully functional open box

No save option and probably not the newest model but it does everything I need because I can adjust everything in the ranges I need to adjust
Frequency, balance, pre flow, post flow, pulse current, base current
2T 4T.

The accessories it comes with

A yeswelder helmet.

Well I can say I'm happy for now.
I'll start using it with disposable gas bottle till I can get a proper 14L cylinder and regulator.

 

[Tigman]

How difficult was the arbour to remove?

Tap the arbour not the body of the tapmatic with a plastic mallet and rotate , took about 20 blows and it popped out , that's the advice from tapmatic uk

 

[Memmeddu]

How difficult was the arbour to remove?

R8 arbour is easy to remove because there's something to push on .
You can use two wedges sliding on each other using a wise like a press .
Or an hammer
Little heat on the female taper can help

 

[Tigman]

I had a morse taper in it , changed to R8 ! , I think Seadog has one stuck in his

 

[Seadog]

I know what it says, but so far, even with some heat, it's resisting.
Perhaps I need to be more persistent, or get a bigger mallet?

 

[nickk]

Is that a good thing?

Of course.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Found this nice box in a Charity shop, I liked it as I hoped it could be used to keep paperwork in.

When opening it up, it's real use was exposed.

I asked if they had the original contents, they did in a plastic bag.

When asked why they had separated them, the reply was "odd2

"Oh, no one knows how to play Chinese Dominos."

Got theses as well.
