a somewhat very late update the machine had 4,6 and 10 mm collets, and I was wanting a ¼" for standard router bits - I got a collet converter sleeve to go from 10mm to ¼" for £5 and it does the ob perfectly

its a buffing polishing thread - no one has mentioned sharpening chisels (although a buffing wheel will give a hand held chisel that final razor edge after the normal sharpening routine)

anyone have one of these ? we have lost the key for ours, if I had the dimensions I could 3d print one - they look like this I begrudge paying £16

just going back to the original post - we already have the items I listed, they were given to us, I am just trying to ascertain how abrasive they might be, and how they might compare to the Chestnut ones I have been using for some time

I have the chesnut kit with its brown and white compounds that I have found to be good ai tells me that the equiv grits for these is Brown 400-800 and White 8,000 - 12,000 We have just been given a dual wheel bench grinder fitted with a couple of mops, one has been used for Brown and the other...

Totally Outdated Rubber Yuppies

Woolworths ? I remember them - did we send them to Aus or did they go all by themselves?

How do I measure collet so as I can find an after market one at a sensible price For our metal working lathes it is like ER32 ER20. but these collets are much longer and slender, bit unusual from what I have seen before can't justify £50 for a little collet

I don't want Trump to throw Ukraine under the bus, and likewise I din't want harris to throw israel under that bus. Either is not good. As usual choice of least worst Harris is probably less worse than Trump but think Trump will win. ***** state of affairs

was going to do a climb cut around the edge first and then do a Face cut

Thanks for that - I am very limited with the tooling for this machine (if I get going with and show that I can use it they will buy whatever I need) so what I was going to use for this experiment was a 19mm bit like this was going to use a 12mm step-over (cut 12mm every pass) and cut 1 mm...
