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

[Wozzaaah]

I don’t know much about them but it appears to be a very good quality one, it was supplied by Guernsey Glasshouses.

A neighbour handed me in this today, knows I ave a thing about vices:

Not sure if I ever need so much power.
But they are cheap as dirt.

I only cut wood on my mine so I replaced the generic "cuts anything known to man" blade with an Evolution-compatible TCT blade from Saxton Blades, and the difference in finish is very pronounced.

The original blade works fine but for a better finish the dedicated blade is world's apart.

Thanks, I had a look at Saxton Blades and ordered a pair, 40 & 80 tooth TCC for £26.99 delivered.

How cheap, if I may be so bold as to ask?

Thanks

@25.4_mechanic how far north are you going to come?! Space for two

Remaining in the spirit of this thread (acquired, not bought cheap!), I acquired this today (actually yesterday, but it was late by the time I got it home)!

Donated to me by one of my tenants, and not in lieu of rent!

It's a Tronxy X5S 3d printer and I can't wait to get using it

It needs a good clean and a couple of screws tightening here and there, but it's hardly been used. Well pleased.

Remember, Jan and I are both on the continent!

Post #1 explains it. Not that anyone (especially me) follows the instruction

Why is it when you look for ages for a cheap s/h 3 phase welder for occasional use they're like hens teeth then as soon as you buy one there like London busses

Nice one looks good.

What, with meaningless slogans written on the sides?

 

[Mart63]

Not today but last week. Gifted to me by some nice guys in I.T.

I have that very set. As long as you don't rely on them to cut too many new threads, they'll clean up pretty much anything for a good while yet!

Acquired is gifted, found etc. for free. Bought isn't

 

[Kayos]

I considered a "compatible" model, but £20 extra got the genuine version.
Ordered bank holiday Monday and arrived today, the next day for anyone reading this in the future (on my phone it looks blue, in person it is the proper Makita green)

 

[MattF]

Is that the 180, or the 181?
