Although my shop equipment is packed up in a storage unit until I get my new garage built, I can't resist buying good tools when they surface. Scored this superb quality 3" Abwood machine vice for a bargain, in what I would call almost new condition; on Ebay.

My name is Mike. I am an Ebay-aholic   , and I like it. 


Had a nice surprise this morning. Got a delivery I wasn't expecting until next week.
Bigger than they look (note tooth brush for scale), but a great set of clamps for the Mill.

Afternoon Chaps 


Just a wee update , this is what has arrived this week . I now have nearly all the gear I need for the workshop  3 phase wiring , just a few more 3P MCB's ,one more isolator  should about do it .

nice one rob

Looks like it is all coming together Rob

I found these 2" x 1/2"  Toolpost Grinder wheels on ebay in an unrelated listing.  They are marked " TYROLIT " with an identification number  A3GR and no other markings.  The wheels look like old-stock, and don't appear to be modern imports; but I haven' been able to find any information.  Awhile back, I bought a Boxford Toolpost Grinder, but it only came with two used wheels.  Looking at the Dumore site, the small grinding wheels seem quite expensive, so I figured I couldn't go wrong buying the ten of these for about the price of a meal at McDonalds.

Is anyone here familiar with, or have used this type of wheel ?

That looks like a nice score to me. A nice size for a tool post grinder.

Aye ,getting there Darren , 

Just pondering the best way to clip the SY cable up

What? No sky hooks??

  I think stainless screws for "A" would look more aesthetically pleasing. 

On a more serious note, google Screw Fix, and look for "Tower Round Cable Supports"; a pack of 100 costs less than £2.oo
