Nice.

I wondered what you were winching out of a basement

“ Lets get this straight. You want to give me a nearly new 3m between centres lathe, with all the trimmings, faceplates, steadies,4 jaw Chuck,taper turning attachment, some of which are still in the original storage wax, and you want to know what I

Very useful to know JB, not many lathes about with that capacity

Oh and two sets of plan chests. Lovely old things on roller bearings and super heavy duty.

Much nicer spanner/tool draws than Snap-On.
Opps - Farside beat me to it

Loads of folk don't care.

Or don’t have a clue what this stuff is or it’s value...

 

[Hood]

Okay for spanners but they’re not very deep. Only about an inch.

Excellent for lathe tools, inserts, milling cutters etc. Next time you are passing just drop it in

 

[Hood]

I don't think they're forum price friendly lol

Who mentioned money, a hearty "thank you" would be good enough surely?

A sous vide to get steaks warmed through before sticking them on a very hot grill. I like my steaks thick and pink in the middle, but not cold.

It was 30 quid so I thought I would give it a go. It clamps to the side of a container so if it's no good i thought it may be useful for keeping citric acid solution warm when derusting tools. Not sure it would last long doing that though.

All I need to do now is repair the BBQ, it did 3 laps of the yard in a storm. I haven't taken the cover off of it yet but I fear the worst.

Cheers
Andy

The next parts, to go along with the Indexi ER40 collets, arrived today, some Stevenson ER40 collet blocks. Finish looks nice, ground on all surfaces, will check accuracy in a bit but should be fine for the use I have for them. Good thing is they will be a lot easier to use than having to haul the heavy Hartford Indexer out and lift it onto the Chiron. In addition I won't be struggling for clearance on smallish parts like I do with the Indexer.

Did you buy from Cutwel?

Nope, arceurotrade. £50 for the two with 1 nut.

Same set. not bad for the money

 

[My Old Landy]

I got mine from Amazon for £20 the pair and two nuts. If I had spent the extra I would not have had to re-machine them to get within a thou

Aye, that was why I went with ArceEuro, I had heard they were decent.
Have tested out one face and the end with the Haimer and there is less than 0.01mm difference, so happy with that.
