You will find a lot on Royal Navy gear.

Cadmium's on the RoHS restricted substance list, so there's not much chance of new products being cadmium plated.
Also, I don't think it'll get that hot - it's just used for tacking. If it gets very hot, the magnets will let go.

Mine arrived today; I'm mighty impressed for the money - arguably more useful and potent than a welder's 'third hand'.

Today I acquired a rather large and heavy grinding wheel balancer from a Favretto way grinder with 700 x 250mm capacity. Already stripped down for refurbishment but ran into a small problem... You have to destroy the bearings to get the wheels out! No matter, I've found replacements... For a price... Lucky the budget isn't constrained!

A phase converter arrived today for the Fobco pillar drill. Went for a simple digital one as I don't need the VFD feature. Purchased on ebay, shipped from South Korea, it arrived in less than a week and all fees, taxes, and delivery charges were included for the £119.oo price. Now I just need to fabricate the appropriate size mounting plate and find a local experienced electrician to sort out the machine's wiring and hook it up.

I got one back in February 
Today I acquired...........
"One of these, please." "Certainly." "And when you deliver it, could you make sure your driver doesn't just leave it the end door, and drive off, as it could walk from there." "Sure thing. I'll make sure to let him know." Cluck knows how long it's been there, I only found it half an hour ago...

Along time to find these wheels in my stash I knew I had a hand full. 
I cut deep so they could be low profile.

That is a 'thing' of beauty
