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

Buy once, cry once eh.

Not that I would know anything about that!

just noticed, the price is in euros, they charge us the same amount but pounds, they ripping us off.

by the way, a lidl battery has the same fitting as millwalke, except they have swooped the terminals over, this can easily beswitched over and a small bit plastic to adjust
cheapest 4 amp milwak battery is £74, lidl is £17 or £11 for 2amp..
for the tecknicaly challanged it would be a good little project for a printer to do an interface and sell.

just come back from yapping with an electrican, he was proudly showing me his £3000 of fuel tools
and batteries, i wish i had worn me wellies, his tears was flooding the house

a surface grinder... Horizontal borer... Tool grinder... Smaller metric based lathe.. That would just about finish the collection off...

commas are the difference between... helping your uncle jack, off a horse.. And helping your uncle jack off a horse.

i have a 40 ft box trailer for that sort of stuff with 3 phase, and still have a bit of space left to fill

Anyone bought the Milwauke 12v soldering iron yet?

My setup for soldering outdoors, Weller tcp 24 volt and makita 18 volt battery

 

[fermerboy]

How much for the battery and charger?

I keep looking at the milwaukee M18 Fuel 4 inch grinder to go with the combi I already have and share the 5Ah batteries with it.

Just go and buy it, I guarantee you wont regret it.

I looked for ages, grudging the money, and even after it was home I still grudged it like hell, till its first day here we needed to fix the combine in field, old fella grumping about having to go a get genny and grinder, and I open up pickup and two seconds later job done. Never considered the money again.
Draining, fencing, roofing the list goes on.
Absolutely love my cordless grinder!!!!

With more and more stuff coming with torx heads I kinda had to buy this.

I got a set that looks like that but green handles as a freebie off of Kramp for an order.
Didn't think I'd use them but theyve been dead handy.

I ended up with my Bridgeport by just going for a look in the local fabricators scrap bin for bit of box and ended up coming home with a mill.

A one does . . .

You won’t regret that one bit, very handy bit of kit. I’d be lost for a lot of jobs without mine. If there’s no tooling or clamps with it, get on eBay, you’ll want a er collet set something like this will get you going for little money.

And you can clamp most stuff with clamping set like this.

After that whatever size mills you want

I got my Bridgeport clone putting in a cheeky bid in an online auction not really expecting/intending to get it. Same with my Harrison lathe, although I did have to go quite a distance to pick it up.

 

[Hooby Farmer]

Just scratching your nose like.

Bought a huge guillotine doing just that! Thing could shear 6ft of inch plate or 12ft of half inch.

@Phil P thanks for that.

Anyone fancy having a very tidy workshop?

a large quantity of Dexion type racking for auction closing on Sept 20th. Currently sitting at £200.

Saves you looking

It'd be just right for @Nearly 's new tidy workshop. Just sayin'

Head is now working over time trying to work out what I could do with that. Room for more toys sorry tools.
