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

[GRW]

My camel back pillar drill has a similar motor driving a long flat belt. The spindle is a MT4 so it definitely needs a high torque motor for drills up to 2 5/8" !

Your motor could be off a large lathe or milling machine.

Wow, so (as Carten also suggested) these motors might not suggest much oomph from the data plate, but they have plenty of it!
It certainly looks a meaty beastie

An old strip of lorry curtain siding with the rollers still on. Rusty but they will come up clean in some citric. I have some uses for these for sure. Anyone know what channel section they run in? I tried Unistrut but it was too small.

I will look. There is a curtain due for inspection tomorrow but it’ll be over on the ferry later.

Two new millstone grit gate posts, or stoops as they are called locally. While the quarry was cutting stone for the new porch I thought we would get these done at the same time. They replaced some softwood posts that @Seadog helped install over 20 years ago when we first got the place. They haven't leaded in the hinges like they used to, we will just drill them through, I can get hinges with long threads.

The old posts weren't too bad, they had received a few bashes over the years from having 100 tonnes of cobbles and countless tonnes of hard core delivered but only just beginning to rot. I shouldn't have to touch these again.

The concrete wagons is here now and the last bit of driveway will then be completed. Operation "Get all the big jobs done while your working so I can spend more time in the workshop when I retire" is well under way

Very nice good deal, who’d want a coffee machine anyway? Does it have the preselector option?

It does not but it does have the programmable memory so you can set up defined areas to scan.

Today I received a Silverline air nailer from eBay



Unfortunately I'd ordered a small air powered DA sander so not only am I disappointed, someone else might be as well, unless they really wanted a DA sander!

Nailed it!

No, wait..

I hope it came with the original manuals, it looks well looked after.

I’m curious which probes?

Two far field wands and a near field loop. They are sniffer probes for EMC pre compliance.

I know the things used to do that sort of thing for a living! I take it you’re into radio?

Not really, I used to design electronic controllers. In my new job I don't do that any more but wanted to keep my skill set up so thought it would be a good opportunity to have a pro bit of kit for not a lot of money!
