A bit dodgy, to say the least....

Saw this on "a well known auction site" today. I don't think I would like to use it for the purpose it's being sold as :shock:

If anyone out there buys it, let me know how you get on :wink:

Do you think someone should let the seller know its a dressing tool for a grinder wheel ?

Done. I have a similar one, but not the bright colours..

There is also a chuck spanner being advertised as a hollowing tool - in spite of at least four people telling the seller what it really is!!

Interesting to find what he would do if he gets a turning tool . :lol: :lol:

And there's a whole rack of carving gouges being sold as turning tools. Nice ones, too.

Well seen!

I have sent a message to the seller to warn them of the possible consequences of misinformation. I can only hope that they act upon the message!

I had already sent him a message about the dresser and have had a reply saying that he is not a very experienced turner (?) and that he can't either stop the sale or change the details I don't if that is correct or not? He thanked me for pointing it out..

My favorite is the "Maple double sided woodturning chisel" for £14.99. I'm sure you can get the boxed set for a tener

 

[Phil Pascoe]

£24.50 inc. postage!...........this is one *------- expensive wheel dresser!

On the same subject, here's a star-dresser wheel used for the same purpose but with a bit more fore-thought....

Well, you can revise your listing at any time so I think his answer about not being able to is suspect. Perhaps he doesn't know how too.

I have received the same response, hopefully he will read the instructions and cancel his entry.

I have done so before now, I can only assume that he really does not know quite what he is doing!
