Another of this weekends purchases. According to a couple online calculators it’s just shy of 1hp so might be I ther option for my grinder motor.

Mick Annick · Feb 17, 2020

Congratulations Bob, get your wallet open

Hood · Feb 17, 2020

Quick, give it back, I heard they are expensive to run.

steviec_lj · Feb 17, 2020

Congratulations to mum. Hope they’re both doing well

Cobbler · Feb 17, 2020

I like children, ........... but I couldn’t eat a whole one though :laughing:

congratulations Bob, is it the first one?

The_Yellow_Ardvark · Feb 17, 2020

Well done, all the best to mum and wee one.

Pete. · Feb 17, 2020

Awwww, they named him after you...

Does he have hands like great big gnarly shovels too?

roofman · Feb 17, 2020

roofman · Feb 17, 2020

Well done Bob :thumbup:

...another 2 decades of want

slim_boy_fat · Feb 17, 2020

@8ob Nice one!! As long as all concerned are healthy, that's the main thing. :thumbup:

Don't listen to these Jeremiahs ^^, the great thing about Grandchildren is you give them back to their parents - preferably after getting them all wound up, excited and enjoying the new noisy toy(s) you've bought for them. :whistle:

EDIT: Grandfather, and you so young.....

Sammy7 · Feb 17, 2020

Congratulations :thumbup:

slim_boy_fat · Feb 17, 2020

Well, at the weekend I won this on the 'Bay of E - it's yet to arrive and I'll doubtedly be on the hunt for a mitre gauge to suit then :rolleyes:

. Seems substantial enough for the purpose - and I don't have much room, or 3-phase.... :whistle:

It'll let me get on with 'projects' and perhaps provide inspiration [I'm not above plagiarizing

] for when I come to build my own one, which will have a 6" wide belt setup. Then I can flog this one on...win:win. :thumbup:

bigegg · Feb 17, 2020

lidl 710w drill press.
laser guided. (!)
infinitely variable speed from 500-2500rpm, and claims 13mm in steel.

it's no meddings, but its a lot smaller, and will go under a bench when not in use.

Wedg1e · Feb 18, 2020

Congrats from one grandad to another

They do say any man can be a father; it takes experience to be a grandfather :eyepatch:

I was 41... :rolleyes:

The lads are 13 and 15 this year, and neither of them wants to get their hands dirty :vsad:

You might find the shaft has no keyway, and just a threaded end.

gordon stephenson · Feb 18, 2020

Congratulations Bob, your blood line goes on, and hopefully your work ethic. I've almost lost count of my lot. Eleven grandchildren and four great grandchildren. All with different personalities but all delightful..enjoy yours to the full.

The_Yellow_Ardvark · Feb 18, 2020

So much Temptation.

Help yourself they said

steviec_lj · Feb 18, 2020
