Were we talking about carbide burrs days ago?
I'm not sure was you or if we were discussing about on this thread but I'm sure I didn't had the time to shot a picture of mine but those are very similar to them

I've got a set from Amazon and they are pretty good they cut fast on steel and they didn't struggle on aluminum as it doesn't stick to the cutting edges

 

[Kram]

Those are standard double cut burrs. Good for steel, nothing wrong with them but for non ferrous and alu, the other type are quicker, faster, better finish. They have a much bigger tooth spacing and will take bigger chips. They look more like milling cutters.

And just how often will you use them……be honest?

I made my own out of thick walled steel tube or turned up a cottage loaf shape ring out of Delrin and a long bolt to catch the face plate pin .

This lot is a punt on my part to see if they can be saved.

What's the last one ?
It looks like a heater for keeping newly hatched chicks warm under a brooder hood .

Yes. Some interesting uses and reasons men have had shed's. On page 80, the man Brian who developed the mechanical device to help him use his injured hand, reminded me of my neighbour overseas. His name was Oscar Johnson, a master machinist. On his own time, he developed the artificial arm just after world war two. And because he did it on the time, and on the equipment of the Company he worked for, they took credit for the invention and he never received a penny for it.

Some m14 taps, OSG 1.25mm which I shall use for a sparkplug adaptor. 1.5mm, which Im sure will be useful for something.

I have got one from my 4x4ing days, they are very handy, used mine for all sorts, getting tree roots out, pulling dents and bends out of things and pulling lamp posts straight amongst other things

Used to use Trewhella CE Monkey Jacks for stump work, but it was always better to leave a decent amount of trunk up in the air and bring in the big Tirfor or the Monkey winch, which was an absolute beast of a thing run double - purchase.....

It’s an Axminster engineer series,plus it’s in semi production usage.

I've used M14 fine for a few things, escapes my memory now.
As you mentioned spark plugs is a common one.

Ordered back in November, finally arrived today!



Ernest Wright dressmaking shears, handmade in Sheffield, by the "masterputtertogetherers". I've wanted a pair for years just because it's an old traditional company which probably won't be around much longer. I don't need posh scissors though so these are a gift for my mum.

I bought Mrs A a pair for her sewing room, they are beautifully made.
