Hi Noggsy, only just caught that, missed the d first time around! hehehe

Hi AES, It is exactly that and I have tried it on a copper pipe! Worked a treat! As to the end unscrewing, it just pulls off and that's where the tools shown live. They are however all very similar though made of different metals in some cases. The tips and angle grinds are different and...

Sorted! Nice catch DJ. Now I know what it is I can take all my mates that I've asked off full alert. One of them suggested a device for hypnotising budgies! hehehe Thanks again, Al

Hi to all, I have found this in a mates toolbox that was donated to him and then me. I cannot work out a use for it but feel its something to do with wood. The body is about 5" or 125mm long and about 3/4" or 19mm diameter. The small tools are inserted and removed by pressing a button on the...

Would you believe I have some circlip pliers and never even considered it. Then again mine just have heads that swap I think. Good catch though! Another mystery solved even without scooby doo! :) Al

Hi to all, I have just cleared out a toolbox that was given to me by a friend and found some strange bits in it. There are two separate sets of these things and I am struggling to even think of what they are for. My mate doesn't know either as he was given the box by someone at a bootsale...

"Could it be for filling holes in??" Hi John, I didn't think of that! :) Sadly I can't try it since I lost my left handed screwdriver to adjust it! ;) Al Seriously though does anyone need it?

Bump! Nobody interested in a free brand new left hand boring bit then? :shock: Al

I forgot to mention that there is a grub screw down the middle of the shaft for adjusting something. I think you guys might be right about multi borers! Next question is does anyone need one? :) Al

Hi to all, I have been given this brand new bit by a mate, who thought it was a router bit. On closer inspection I thought it looked more like one of those multi angle drills "MAD bits" like a directional version of a Forstner. Then I noticed the flat on the shank, the shank is 10mm btw and...

Hi Guys, Jake, you nearly got them but sadly 22mm is too big for mine and the other from Woodford has got to be wrong in some way. I actually posted a blade to them and a guy called Chris contacted me and said they had nothing that would fit. Carl, Brilliant catch mate, they are the ones and...

Hi Guys, ely Well I tried Woodford and half a dozen more suppliers and drew blanks at all of them! Absolutely the only place I can find them is at SIPs site and they are stupid money for disposable blades, £40 ! Just trying at the moment to grind the blades sharp again but a couple of the...

Hi Guys, I have the machine working now, well to a degree anyway. I made an adaptor to get the 4 inch pipe to fit my shop vac which is sadly only a household size. Anyway I tried planing and thicknessing and both work as should except that the blades must be worse than I thought, I'm getting...

Hi Guys, Thanks for the manual Carl, it at least gives me something to work from now. :) Jake, If your planer is similar then can you tell me how to set the blades and if they are reversible? The manual just says set them using the guage, which I don't have. :( Al

Hi Martin, Thanks for the diagram mate. Everything helps when you have nothing. At least now I know whats missing. Also thanks for moving the post. To be honest I thought I was in general! Doh! :) Al

Hi to all, After 30 years being a sparky I have had to retire and now have some spare time to practice my first and long time hobby. I have always loved working with wood and gathered quite a few tools and a little knowledge over the years. I have however never owned or indeed used a planer...
