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

[johnny7]

Hi all

Received this high pressure air pump today, Cost £4.89 DELIVERED!! from Amazon!!, Ordered it a couple of days ago!

There's a spare seal and valve set but no water seperator included, They're on Fleabay at around nine quid!!

Takes literally five mins to assemble and another five to strip down and put away!!

The thing has a water jacket to stop it from overheating!!

I think they produced so many in China that they're having to almost give them away!!

Interesting do you have a link to it?

Put an advert out for fly press wanted and this came up.

Not sure who made it as the plate has gone. No idea if it’ll do what I need but can always sell it on I suppose

How do you rotate pictures?!

Nice toggle press. I have one and I am wondering what I can use it for. Can punch plate or stamp stuff but I just dont have any plate I need punching :-(
Ideally suited to repeat jobs I think.

Edit: and 27g of inedible gristle, so 69g of actual meat.

You've weighed the respective bits?

I was interested to know, wouldnt normally but I was tempted to cook two. I ran 16km yesterday so needed recovery food, 67g is not enough. Ive cut out carbs, until I shift the lockdown belly, no sugar unless Im running (this will mostly be in the form of scotch).

Set of bottom press dies from the quarry we have been working in as they have replaced there sheet steel press, these bottom dies were from there old machine and to wide for there new machine, but will fit my press as I can adapt it and make them fit, a little rusty but its only surface rust and quickly fetched off with a wire brush on the angle grinder.

What do they press steel in the quarry for?

I’ve got stuff to punch but I’ve no idea if this’ll do it or if I need a fly press.

Either way I need to make tooling so that’ll be a learning curve

A seized up ML7.

I can’t put a like against the state of that, but I bet it will clean up with a bit (lot) of work.

That'll come back to life right enoughDon't mov the saddle until you've scraped off the rust. a paint scraper will do it at first. Now that the tailstock has been moved you need to remove it and clean the rust that'll be stuck on the base ways.

 

[dobbslc]

Who would do that to a lathe?

Plasterer's bath from Toolstation, filled with citric acid, would be my first step.

A what bath?

I have seen a old enamel bath used in the past. Or a cheep Tesco paddling pool.
