Re: Show your recent tool purchase/s ( The Tool/s Loot )

The 1/2" shank TCT straight double flute price ranges from 20-60 British pounds. I can't say they're as good as Whiteside but as you know it all depends on the application you bought them for. We are processing a lot of solid wood and the hardness of Titman's is just fine for our use. Here is their website info... http://www.titman.co.uk/pdfs/2009/P6_13_Straights.pdf They are a bit pricey but just as good as CMT, Infinity, and Amana. There are mix reviews that indicate its quality or level. Here is an example.. http://www.woodworkforums.com/f20/brand-router-bits-do-you-like-135935/index2.html

pricey is correct, but the must be good performers as the Aussie site implies... So with your hoard can I conclude that these are purchased together with others on a European trip recently?:rolleyes:

raining raining raining

i removed my DIY wooden chisel rack and replaced it with this cheap (but awesome magnetic force) magnetic knife rack.

now easy to grab and return back my blue chisels.

now gotta go..walang "no work" sa hospital eh...:samurai:

Hehehe... I wish! A friend brought them in 2gether w/ some equipment and goodies. Mga 2 shipments pa at complete na ung upgrade ko sa shop. Magkakaroon na tayo ng metals division. Pwede na tayo magfabricate ng simple tools and parts and consumables. Pati na rin blade sharpening equipment kumuha na ako para may panghasa tayo.:clap:

Do a smell a lathe and milling machine here? 🙂

There is nothing impossible to do on a milling machine! :biggrin:

I bought a Bridgeport mill, Nagano surfacer, a small lathe, power press, sheet cutter and sheet bender a few years back. I have started collecting some tooling and machining accessories as well. All I need now is a bigger lathe, a surfce grinder and a shaper so I can complete my basic machine shop set up.:)

Looking forward to your machine shop setup bro Willy. Looks like this had been in the cooking pan for quite sometime already. 😎

Re: Show your recent tool purchase/s ( The Tool/s Loot )

@willy,

hmmm...looking forward to a field trip in your place with the phm guys soon...pot luck nalang uli! hehehe

when the rain is over.

hope the rain stops soon...i was wondering if i will start myself not to ask anymore sando bags from groceries and bring my own reusable shopping bag.

Re: Show your recent tool purchase/s ( The Tool/s Loot )

Sir, matanong ko po. ano po pinagkaiba nung ibang die grinder sa pneumatic die grinder?

:thanks:

Some recently acquired air die grinders.

A new Ingersol Rand 325XC4A extended shaft, IR 308 ( used ), and a Sioux.

The extended shaft grinder is a steal at $56. The Ebay seller must be crying when I won this no reserve listing since the tool cost $340+ from the online tool sites.

Sioux is a Snap On owned company. http://www.siouxtools.com/index.php

will post pics again when these tools go in action

:thanks:

Pneumatic die grinder, like other pneumatic tools, are driven by compressed air. Therefore they have no need for an electric motor.

Two advantages of pneumatic over electric: its lighter since there is no electric motor and and it does not overheat. As JayL would say: the more you use it, the cooler it gets. (or something like that)

The disadvantage, of course, is you need an air compressor that can give the sufficient supply of compressed air.

Re: Show your recent tool purchase/s ( The Tool/s Loot )

Sir Jay, pareho pa din po ba yung lakas ng output ng tools kahit na gumamit ng step-down? may mga gusto kasi akong bilhin na tools sa US kaso regulator issue yung pumipigil sa akin para bumili.

Step down voltage regulator ba ang solution sa mga 110V na tools? please share your knowledge, Sir!:thanks:

My Bosch Oscillating Multitool is a US model thus is 120V 60 Hz.

I just use a 220v to 110v step down voltage regulator to power it.

Other more experienced users can give feedback on the 220V 50 Hz tools. I shy away from tools using this configuration because of the frequency issue thus have no actual experience on this matter.

Re: Show your recent tool purchase/s ( The Tool/s Loot )

Magadang araw, Sir Joey!

ah wala palang motor yun? 🙂
ano po masasabi nyo sa power consumption difference dun sa de motor at sa penumatic ngayong napakamahal ng kuryente.

salamat po!

Pls note... While pneumatic tools are air charged, do not forget that a compressor is used w/c has a large motor capable of producing at least 80 psi and up. You need at least a 1.5hp motor based on today's standards to run a system like this. Worst is the start up is 3x the power consumption. The industry users that run this system are those that want to minimize electrical/fire hazard due to hassles of wire cables of electric powered tools. Electric tools run at full power rate on demand. The drawback is your are only good as your power source and cable length. Your better off if your power tool is below 1hp. Hope this helps.

Tools that run on electric motor are better off with motor protectors. It is not always advisable to use an AVR on tools like table saws. A standard step-down transformer will suffice provided the power rate capacity is at least 2x the expected load. Just get the models w/ overload cut-off circuit if you can. For other tools that are armature driven like drills and routers take heed that that the more complex the features are of the AVR the more restrictive and reactive it is against these tools. Good luck!

Can you suggest a good locally available step down transformer Bro Willy. Something in the 3 to 5KVA range.
