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

This forum is a bad influence!

I've already got a nice IR right-angled die grinder, but I'm without a compressor at the moment, until I get my garage space organised. I told myself that going with the Milwaukee was ok despite all my other cordless tools being Makita, as it's a different voltage, and Makita don't do one

The book looked interesting, I think it was @northwest who mentioned it a while back

New metabo 180mm grinder. Went for one of the newer ones which is half the weight of the older style, mainly for flap disks or fibre disks flatting big bits off.

Also got a makita 18v heat gun, been doing a lot of 12v wiring of late and a corded one is a pita, it broke the other day so I've replaced it! No pic as I forgot...

The heat gun...

Cheapest I could find in a hurry:

If anyone's seen my favourite set bought 20+ years ago at Swanley boot fair let me know. No doubt hiding in plain sight!

Just so you know I have Gerald Cardew's own home made Chronograph which was used for the book. I also own the one and only GC1 Air rifle that Gerald built as a prototype for use in his development of the SportsMatch GC2 air rifle, one that outshoots the best offerings still of the likes of Steyr and Anschutz in Field Target comps. I was very lucky to get them. I will take some pictures when the finally release me from here.

Nothing tool related unfortunately but out with the old and in with the new, I hate appliances!

I'm not sure, but wives like them apparently...

They are a good source of sheet metal from the case. Never fathomed out what they do when making a noise.

This arrived today. Bought for my brother. Aldi special £99. Far more expensive in Screwfix etc.
My brother wants it for model boats and planes. It works very well on metal though. Heavy about 20kg and a pretty fast belt speed.

Could you please show the bar-code? Thanks.

Don't be fooled by that "Germany" - it's the dealer/label not necessarily the product.

We had one of those in the Mens shed I used to go to ... they need to be kept free of dust build up under the belt and often the belt needed retracking if it's been heavily use on one side edge.

They are also great for hand sharpening all manner of twist drills & for sharpening tig tungsten's held in a battery drill .

They are good. They used to do the belts on line.
But I found a place in Southampton who did them cheaper.

The power switch cover does not like being cleaned with meths.

My neighbour gave me these today, though not sure what the three clamps are for - any ideas?

I do know what the one with the serrated face is going to be used for though.

Its like your reading my mind, its got a leak somewhere so you get a weeny bit of water in the emergency tray in the bottom and continually pumps, cant see where the water is coming from but the switch will get bridged and it will be fine out in the workshop!
