I admit, I have a workshop tool addiction :-)

[TheTallGuy]

Sounds like the ideal workshop




As a kid, when we were in Kings Cross Station dad always used to say "this would make an ideal bale shed"

The shed next door (St P.) has much more height and a lot less in the way to hit, not to mention the under croft being an ideal workshop space; as a bonus the rubble from demolishing the red monstrosity at the front would also do quite nicely for repairing a few farm tracks....

Have finally weakend and got myself the Makita 3/4 Impact Wrench
And some new Bessey clamps to add to the collection

And I may have just ordered a new twin battery Makita circular saw......




Well.....it is Christmas.........

Your makita dealer certainly thinks so

Haha, yes but I use several tool suppliers, you've got to spread the wealth you know.....

I may have bought a few bits at once, but I haven't bought any additions to the collection for weeks now...........

Not a heavy duty cycle but won't lose money. Already had an offer of profit on it.
Single phase always find a home for ££££££

I could stop any time I wanted.

Single phase again.
Just going back over to ebay to delete my search for 'mig single -3 -415'

Has anyone seen the Ad in the Christmas Farmers Guide - Someone is selling a Plasma cutter with a 50mm max cut for £700!

I have a portamig like that one but a bit bigger. A lovely mig when working but it's in the menders for the second time with no more than 6-7 spools of wire through it. Not happy as they were well recommended on the welding forum

I feel like a victorian orphan looking in on a upper class families Christmas. All those wonders like positioners and rotators I didn't know existed.


I expect I can keep wishing for 3 phase for the next few Christmases.

Hello, been watching this thread with interest at some of your workshop tool, just wanted to point you towards my thread 'lathes and machine tools', have several to sell which may interest some of the tool addicts on here! All messages or enquiries welcome.

That's disappointing, I've heard good things about Portamigs and they're British built as well.

And I may have just ordered a new twin battery Makita circular saw..

Which one ,the big sliding chop model or the hand held 190mm ,,if its the hand held ,,its bloody brilliant ,got one back in summer ,I rarely use the mains one now

Yes the hand held 190mm, it looks fantastic, no reason to think it won't be!

I do really fancy that battery sliding chop saw, I've got the big mains one, thats a hell of a saw, wouldn't/couldn't be without it! But that battery one would be right handy at times. I almost had a go at one in an auction, I didn't realise how much they were at the time, always a gamble at auction though.

 

[Lincs Lass]

I got mine of ebay new when it was one of the 15% discount days ,came with 2x5ah ,charger ,all in the maxpac box ,,I used it last week to cut through 65mm timbers ,,so easy

 

[Shovelhands]

Yes, that's what I've ordered, seemed good value with a couple of 5ah batts, and you can never have too many batteries

that sounds far too good to be true to me.

i have a 60A plasma here and with its tongue out it can cut 40mm, youd want a lot more amps to nip fifty.
it was a long way off 750 smackers too.

This was the scene of my workshop when I finished on Christmas eve. Decided it was maybe time for a tidy up and a virtual tour if anyone's interested.

First job was finding a place for the rolling tool. It'll only get used 2 or 3 times a year and I've nowhere dry to keep it so up it went!

It only took 4 days but I did eventually find the workbench top.

Welder, plasma and welding bench.

This years purchase 50t press.

Lathe even got a clean down and fresh coolant.

Bandsaw could do with a clean.

Steel stores and off cut bins.

Pillar drill.

Mobile lifting gantry.
Possibly the most used thing I have
