I got given a huge tub of that Leyland paint. Had been unused for months and completely separated. Power drill with my homemade stirrer and two minutes later it was perfect.
From Zorro all for my Boxford Shaper, 7/16 largest tool bit it’ll take and getting serious with an array of different bits to grind.(i’m only messing about, lets face it piece of **** but satisfying when then they cut well.)
At £11 the smallest 25mm Thor will be great for tapping down and minor adjustments when setting up.
Wanted a 200mm vernier but the prices get quite staggering for the decent make(double the price for extra 50mil!)
Always find the 150 vernier isn't as nice in the hand when maxxed as latest project is getting close to topping it out. Chose £40 200mm oxford precision and I'm pleasantly surprised it feels very nicely made, defo substantial upgrade from aldi lidl level anyway. I’ve used the normal top makes at work and this one feels nicer than them. Controversial…! I know.

It's usually shortened to Whitworth, or just Whit.

They were sold out when I tried to buy some.
A couple of days before these popped up, I bought a set from RDG for £26, but in fairness they seem to be good quality and bang on the 1 inch measurement when I measured them with a digital micrometer.
