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

It's off to Orkney to be put to production work again. And yeah. A member

I am hoping this thread doesnt end in "Today I acquired..... a hernia"!!

Done for the day Boss.

Framed and braced. No point in diagonals as the ply will do the job.
May change my mind Monday but il see as I cover it.

Will also add a point to the top.
Stop some dozy twonk stacking a pallet on top.


Il wrap and load all the bits Tomorrow and as I've ended up with some free time up board it up Monday to keep the neighbors off my back.

1200w X 800 deep X 1350 high.

Not a clue on weight. I'd say 600 ish

Oh and taking that pic reminded me to clean the tray a bit.



I won't be able to fit the iso32 on the pallet mate. Wanted to keep the lathe central.

 

[Ruffian]

Do you have a link? I’d like one of those too!

Found by another forum member as stated in a later post but now showing out of stock at that price.

Spot on cheers.

I can get 32 up here so no worries about that. I told the carrier 500, but what's 100kg between friends

Glad you thought of a pointy top! I have little paper traffic cones I put on. They have something printed on like "if its squashed reject the load" or similar. Has saved me a fortune in stuff getting damaged. No hurry to get it done

At your end or his?

Another rear brake pedal, to modify to work as a front brake on my Sunbeam.

Big thumbs up for tilting the tines back. Makes me whince when I see them poking forward.

The police are hot on it here to the point of obsessive. Loads of my mates have been done.

They are not hot on very much else so I have no idea why. I really dont like to see tines and spikes sticking forward. Dangerous all round.

Bloody'ell the packaging must be worth more than the keys. Top end perfume or fancy watches just slung in a box by comparison.

Is there a specific offence for leaving them down.

 

[James1979]

Yeah, "forward projecting tines' or something. Its normally about £600 and a load of points. It specifically refers to tines as far as I know so implements other than tines are a grey area.

What if you haven’t got flip back tines

If the tines can't be flipped back like that then you need to move them on a trailer, our front buckrake needs a pretty substantial metal guard along the front of the tines when on the road.

reverse there

 

[James1979]

You can get away with it if they are guarded. People put a pallet on which you can get away with it with but then what do you do with the pallet?!

Bale spikes are another one.

Also, if they are feeling awkward, you can be done for having a bale on there as it is not very often the spikes are type approved as a load carrier on the highway. Like all things no one cares unless 1, you have an awkward policeman or 2, you crash and they want to nobble you for something.....

I thought I'd see what this digital internal caliper would be like... unfortunately it's **** poor only measures to 0.1mm and it's out by that much too. Waste of time for anything other than rough measuring.

Yep spring calipers should be called “nearly there calipers”

I think you said you already have a set, but the only thing to use really is snap gauges/bore gauges.

You need to get yourself a setting ring/standard and take a few measurements to ensure your technique is accurate and then you’re good to go. The feel of the mike is important when working with snap gauges, I’d say I prefer a mechanical micrometer to the digital Mike when measuring snap gauges.

if you’re working on something then same size again and again, then I’d recommend either Tesa or Mitutoyo three point bore micrometers. Expensive to cover a range of measurements though.

Cheers, yeah I'm familiar with telescope gauges and micrometers as I used to do a lot of bearing fitting and some engine rebuilding... Got a few very nice micrometers from years back
I can work telescope gauges fine, I just don't like them. I thought this caliper would be as accurate as a vernier type for rough stuff, but it's no where near.
I think I'll end up getting a few bore indicators and an internal mic for larger bores.

Acquired a few lumps of timber from @Pete. today

Bob

Gurt lumps of 12x12, just got to figure out why I need them
