Dave, if Andre needs it gone, I could wander down next weekend and keep it in my shed for next twenty years:q

My Fidax Bench Drill Press has a solid Column and cast Steel everything else. It too has to be disassembled to move, motor off first as it and the head are too heavy to move as one unit.

FF, put me on your list, I want to bring a big bag of shavings and dump it all in your shed. At least then people would think that you had used the toys :q

Just a dodgy user :q

So it's just not me. I was just about to do a hard reboot as the forum and Kies were not at their usual speed. Yes I know they are totally unrelated, that's why I thought it was my box needing a...

I don't get many visitors, but those that do, are invited. If someone wants a job done, then they can assist me by tailing out or cleaning up or beer.

I don't mind members of the forum or the...

Ray, my Mitutoyo Verniers (2*150 & 1*300) and Height Gauge (600mm), Starrett Depth gauges and my angle gauges don't use batteries.

I do have digital Verniers, Height and Angle gauges - all kept...

Corin, it is not just the metal trades that attract the know all's. Wood turning or any other demonstrations attract know all's that detract from the day and astound everyone with their hide. If we...

Des, I'm only a woodturner, but a lathe is a lathe for the basics. Straight and true ways, headstock and tailstock line up. Free spinning spindles indicate the bearings are more than likely to be...

Brett, for casual use, have a look at garage sales. I have picked up a drawer full of P&N & others over the years.

I even managed a 500ml container of Trefolex Cutting compound for the princely...

Ray, luckily for me I have 30mm ring spanner . . . I tightened the bolt up and couldn't move the bugger!:2tsup:

M8 Socket screws work well, but I might change out the 25mm lengths for 13mm, to...

Funny thing is, it fits! :U

Thanks Ray.:2tsup:

I'll have to work out when I am next going out your way.

Bob, sounds like you had a good winter:2tsup:

Bob, another great read. She ended up the belle of the ball!

Ring Consolidated Bearings Company (CBC) at Sydney.

I use Trefolex, got a 500ml tub for $2 at a garage sale - it's see me out. Being a woodie, who has to drill/tap/ream metals on occasion, this will do. I have a good set of Sutton Cobalt Drills for...

Around the corner from me, interesting, maybe a mate for the Fidax bench drill in the old shed . . . or pick up for someone else interested.

I enter the rip in time/space continuum or friggin in the riggin or playing in the shed. Depends on who's asking and what they want.

Expensive, yes, but does it help all sorts of machines run stronger and minimises vibration, yes.

In my experience as a woody that has second hand machinery, the improvement is noticeable.

So...

No worries Ray.

Still for sale.

On hold to Ray.

I have a Starrett Inside Micrometer on offer. It appears to be incomplete, missing the solid bar highlighted in the pic. Price $20 + postage

Maxim toolboxes from epay.

I have had my 42" Tool chest for a year or so and cannot fault it.

I got my 98-8 from this forum.

The CTC site is very interesting, even for a wood turner:U

Thanks boys, I finally remembered that I had the Fastener Black book on my desk, looked up the Spanner Selection Chart on Pg 53, and for an 80mm spanner, M52 is the bolt. The nut is 80mm max x 42.9mm...

I picked up this Gedore 80mm Ratchet ring Spanner 239118at a local market for cheap enough to be a wall hanger. I am wandering if someone might know what size bolt and nut would fit this toy? I am...

I noticed on the 18v battery drill that the after market support is an email to Einhell, even though the tools are branded Taurus. Unfortunately for me I already have a 10mm 18v battery drill. In the...

Michael, go to the Mitutoyo website , downloadable content and try there.

Here's a pamphlet for your model

Ian, you can get new jaws from Dawn, thru Blackwoods.

Hello Stuart, I just measured all three of the Thumb Screws of my Mitutoyo 600mm Height Gauge. The screw pitch is 0.75 as measured by my M & W Thread Gauge. Thickness is 3.9mm via Mitutoyo Verniers....

Another vote for Dawn bars.

Thanks for the detailed information.:2tsup:

Very pretty toys! Good to see such work. :2tsup:

So Sue has worked out how to get you off the computer:;

At least jet are consistent in both the wood and metal working worlds:;

On the Glenfords website, there is a strategically placed note on the front page : Voluntary administrators appointed to all stores (excluding Rockhampton, Ipswich, Gladstone and Campbelltown) on...

Good one Cliffie, you've crashed their web page :q

Well Done Lou!

HSC (NSW) is the equivulant of South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE).

Ray, I'll keep it in mind, when next rust hunting . . . :;

Try this on for size, 2 tshirts and a sticker, value $47US, postage at the cheapest rate $44US.

Needless to say, that bit of discretionary spending did not happen.

Bob, would you have any further information on P Roch of Rolle, Suisse as I have a 250mm vernier, comparable to the one in pic 3.

Apologies for the pic quality - Phone cam:doh:

Inscribed in the...

Andre, the term "a steal" comes to mind.

You could get a block of known size, say a 1 2 3 block to check the accuracy.

What type of micrometer are they? Outside, inside or depth?

Of course we are interested. More pics please!:2tsup:
