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

Old barometer, maybe getting on for around 90 years old. Been in the family for some time and was destined for the charity shop which I wasn’t happy about so it now hangs in my workshop.

A neat mechanism in the back with the pulleys and mercury floats and counterweights.

Not exactly acquired but today during my continuing clear up I found 2 sheets of 1mm stainless 1250 x 500, not exactly easy to hide! Totally forgot I had them. Just need a project for them now.

10x 9" discs for £12.5 to see of any good, though not exactly the best way to post them just in a thin bag!

I tend to just buy the cheapest 0.9mm discs I can find for the small grinder...don't really see much real difference in the way they perform vs the branded stuff...but I'm only usually cutting thin stuff anyway.

Only ever had 1 disintegrate on me but I was doing something stupid at the time!

Shopping on AliExpress made me realize that there's a lot of reselling goes on in the UK!

I don't think anything smaller than 1.8mm for 9" discs exist and I certainly wouldn't want to use a 0.9mm one without a bomb suit

Pretty much everything on amazon/ebay is drop shipped/from aliexpress, it's hilarious seeing something on amazon 3x the aliexpress price just with a 1-2 day delivery rather than 5-7

Yea mine are for a small 115mm grinder...I just buy the cheapest ones.

Agree on the drop shipping...once I started comparing I realized it was all the same stuff but at twice the price!
