Thousands of plastic bags... Also two backers for fibre-disks.
I only ordered on Wednesday so 10/10 to Flexipads for speed, but there must have been a better option than sending them in a gigantic box packed out almost entirely with plastic bags filled with more scrunched up plastic bags.

Glue emery cloth strips to both sides of 1/4 inch thick sticks smoothed all over soft wood the width of the cloth , make them a foot or so long and use them in safety like a file .
Be posh and put different grades on each side .

I went to Screwfix today and got some more stuff for the heat treatment oven build: some DIN rail, some cable glands, a pack of Wago connectors (which I've heard very good things about on here but have yet to try). Also (from Amazon) some DIN rail mounts for said Wago connectors. Still loads more to get and not much time now before the Christmas break, so I'll probably be placing some more orders over the weekend.

Most modern chucks I've tried to repair tend to have the top of the cylinder peened over by a burnishing style roller making it impossible to open them up .
Nec v302w projector for £20 at auction, turns out it was faulty so stripped it down and rechecked all connections/pesky ribbon cables and volia now working!
Amazing quality for a 2016 projector and thankfully hdmi input so no need for the 6" of adapters I used for the firestick into the 2006 vga projector I had!
It's like having a HDTV built into the wall

If you need any 24VDC control gear, PSU's, contactors, relays etc. drop me a PM
Have to say Gorilla tape has been the best tape of it's type I've ever used. Sticks and stays stuck. Got some holding a protection pad in the trials car (Dutton kit car), with more holding a bit of visqueen over it to protect the pad from the weather. The car lives outside in all weathers, no roof, no doors, just holes in the floor to let the rain out - tape has been on two years now and still in good condition.

Replacement timer unit for the not-an-AGA Six-Four.
I will be very happy to have the two main ovens working again, once I fit it.

That's very kind of you, thank you. Another forum member is very kindly supplying me with quite a lot of control gear, but if there are any gaps I'll let you know. Thanks again.
Are the plastic bags used that they have taken products out of?
Box - a couple of sizes take most things they send out if they don't fit in jiffy bags. It's cheaper than stocking lots of different sizes. Put some packing in, especially if the packing is stuff you would have to pay for disposal.

Useful bits from 2 old microwave oven gifted by my uncle as scrap metal.
Saved the transformers, 4 or 5 thermal switches ranging better 85 to 150°C, 7 or 8 micro switches, what looks like to be some sort of relay.
Amazon bargain
Onevan 140Nm Comby impact drill
It was on a discount at 62 something euro with two 3Ah batteries.
Actually cheaper than the bare unit.
This pretends to be the Makita DHP486? Clone.
Little bit longer clutch assembly
Maybe got it cheaper because they already make an hybrid clone of Milwaukee, DeWalt and Makita designs all together in one drill, on this other one you can dim the light, on mine not.
Probably discontinued.
On the onevan website they claim 650Nm which is not going to happen not even thinkable, but on Amazon they claim a more plausible value.
The real Makita should have 130Nm, we know Parkside made a 120Nm or it was 80Nm anyways my 5 plus years old brushless Parkside is dieing and 60Nm have been enough for everything I've ever needed.
Some times I've needed an auxiliary handle and wasn't meant to have one so I've break bits, ruined holes, torqued my wrists...
We'll see another disassembled clone very soon
At least sold by Amazon, delivered by Amazon

So not acquired today, but quasi-installed
The mystery machine finally made it into the workshop...
It could do with a good vacuuming, and a new extractor hose.
At the same time as a smallish heat treatment oven which needs a new thermocouple, and will get fitted with a Fuji Electric programmable PID at the same time.
In a fit of productivity I also managed to dig out the remaining air tools and sort out the welding bench (apart from moving the granite surface plate to it's proper home, because it's too heavy to lift alone).
Including putting the spanners for the grinders on a tether so they can't walk.

Lovely bit of kit really.
Surface grinders are not common to bed found over here, especially "hobbyist size" ones

Yeah, I was very lucky to get that one, as it's sized for a smaller workshop but still built to go into an industrial environment (which it did for 30 years, as I'm only the second owner).
The other option I was considering was a Churchill Hydraulic one which would have taken up about 50% more floor space for an additional 50mm grinding capacity.
