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

[Pete.]

Got a link to those Eddy?

 

[Onoff]

Had a couple of these arrive from eBay today. My mission whilst it’s so cold is to bring the boxes of drill bits I’ve acquired over the years and sort them into letter,imperial and metric. Really nicely built for a fairly cheap China thing, just a shame they didn’t make the divisions bigger in the lower drawers for the bigger drills.

For taps? As in Taper, Plug, Bottom & Spiral?

But 3-48 then 3-56, what's the 48 & 56 significance?

56 is UNF

They can be used for whatever, I’m using them for drill bits though.

Pardon our interruption...

For £35 they’re cheap IMO!

That seller has some funky other stuff. Now I want to go gold panning and fishing in the canal with a giant magnet.

A Gedore adjustable for 7 euro

Mostly, another 500 kg lightweight lever chain hoist to complement my Tractel one.
About 3m of chain on the thing, and for forty quid, new, that can't be so shabby for occasional usage.
Mostly to have ready to deploy my wood lathe onto folding benches quickly, rather than circling the thing warily....

A double pedal and 3 pin plug/socket!

Planning to build a cover for it and wire it up so that each pedal powers one of the 2 auxiliary hydraulic solenoid valves on the skid steer when plugged in so that when the log splitter attachment is on you can operate it from outside the cab if splitting smaller stuff you can just roll to the blade instead of moving the whole machine.
