Is that you destroying broaches on the mag drill Woz

 

[Wozzaaah]

Hehe, 'tis I!
Yes, I know, needs a bit more coolant, think it's got a slight blockage in the coolant feed, needs flushing out.
I did give it a squirt of spray cutting fluid though .

Trigger switches seem to be a weak link on a lot of stuff.

Brand new Bosch 5 inch grinder, pushed the switch to turn it on, little bit of plastic which latches the switch on snapped off. Got to hold the trigger - hard - to get it to work.

It just sounded like the motor was starting to struggle!
I've drilled 60+ holes today with one

Might have been pushing it a little hard , I just had to cut one quick hole to upload the video for someone on here.
They are fantastic bits of kit though, expensive for diy users but for anyone who cuts biggish holes in thick stuff regularly they're a godsend.
