The "What Is It" Thread ?

I installed drywall for about a year back in the mid 1970's, and still have all of my kit. The company I worked for had a strip cutter with roller knives on each side which could be adjusted for cutting up to 4" inch wide strips, but I can't quite envision how your two part devise would be used for cutting plaster board ?

Have a look on the tube, search Blade Runner plaster board cutter

So, very strong magnets to keep the two parts together. Hard to imagine they could accurately track together without being physically linked, but then again, we didn't have such strong magnets back in the day as are available now.

EDIT: Had a look at the review on the Plasterers Forum. Holy shlt, considered dangerous and not liked at all, oh well.

I didn't actually know the part number so that helps.

I’ve got a spark plug cleaner - not the same as that one - but the bag needs replacement. Not much use on modern vehicles as the plug electrodes are usually burned. If they carbon the plugs that bad, they are unlikely to pass emissions tests.

A lot of my old engines used plugs that could be dissembled for cleaning.

Still useful for mowers, generators, small engines and older bikes and vintage vehicles.

I have one I am hoping to make in to a small English wheel.

Commonly known as a vulcaniser used to repair tyres, some of them used a fusible link to control the time it was switched on

Same here, that's why I got it. Another down the road project I've had second thoughts about.

I did see that now with the part number.

For anyone who doesn't know, that listing is wrong. It's actually a points alignment tool.

I got a laugh out of it

This turned up inside a box of collets, any idea what it is?

The only markings on it are 'INDIA' so not really helpful!

I'm going to have to Google that!

Edit:

I did and now I know what a slitting saw is and does!

How would I mount that, just in a chuck for instance or would it be collet mounted?

Forgive my ignorance, I'm still coming to terms with having a small Milling machine!

Hi Richard
No not a chuck or collet holder. In a tool holder with a grub screw in form the side to bear on the shank flat.
If you ever get a slitting saw don't over tighten as they can go "ting" as in crack easley.

Made for a Weldon Cutter holder by the looks but unless you have one just as easy to hold in an er25 or similar collet chuck

 

[Beeezer]

Any ideas on this?
And what does it do?
