I did tell you they've gone downhill

You think everything has gone downhill

maybe they have, but what's a better option than ultima gold? They're a consumable, after all...

Brad is right, I got a pair when I first started and they were better, but I also paid more. At five pounds Im not complaining, they are still a lot better than the parweld rubbish.

Not as good fit as the old, but where the old pair had folded seams, the finger tips on these is not, so the stitching will easily get burnt.

I did look for the Bohler's but couldnt find any shop selling them.. searches all came back with arc rods.

 

[Munkul]

Well you haven't been welding long enough to know what quality used to be.

I'm not disagreeing btw, I find it funny how consistent your opinion is of stuff, usually the word Sh**e

Just saying, gloves are the least of my worries, they end up with holes in sooner or later anyway... you know i give stuff an easy life in my shop, but I'll still wear out a couple of pairs of those a year. They get holes in the thumb or forefinger before the stitching is an issue.

Free cabinet to house some long pest control equipment, not that ive got any yet but you have to start somewhere!

A chinese indicator stand, very cheap and nasty but it'll do, I like to think I'll make a decent one (à la Stefan Gotteswinter) eventually.

It was £15 quid with next day delivery, I wasn't expecting Mitutoyo quality.



The magnet seems reasonably strong and the arm locks up okay (Nothing like my Smallrig arm), the fine adjust is completely unusable, we'll see how much that annoys me.

I have exactly the same. It is what it is. Pretty useable and locks up nicely. Wouldn’t use it on something mega accurate but it’s ok for day to day stuff or taking away from the workshop to test runout on machines etc.

I seem to end up grinding the end of a finger off ,, then supergluing the hole together , then they last for ages .

I got the exact same one, and have the same conclusions.
The mag base is fine, really quite strong.
The arm looks and feels horrible, but locks up well.
The fine adjust is completely horrible and it detracts from the usability of the entire arm, wish it wasn't there.
The arm design is great though, I've just bought a proper Noga arm off ebay, hopefully the last indicator stand i buy!

Nice, good score ! I've got a round one similar to that.

From a recently deceased dentist who has known my family for the last 30 odd years.

Just got to plumb it in and run it up without popping it

 

[Munkul]

The Noga stand joins my others. I think it'll be the go to, the lever indicator is really handy.

 

[JEZGUZ]

I just gave one of those away to a mate, ( it cost him a pint in reality) I've got another one plus a few of the more traditional type.
