Carpe diem!


« on: February 28, 2010, 06:21:17 PM »

Persuaded my Missus to buy me an early birthday present today, as these were on sale in Aldi for £20-00, nicely made, 1/3 HP and 3K rpm, tidy stone for the grinding of your drills and lathe tools, and a reasonable multipurpose, and multi use! linisher belt, half way tidy for the money, and releases my heavier grinder for a polishing wheel, opposite the wire wheel, so there you go, a result!

Do they sell pedestal drills as well.I could do with one of those,but it needs to be a variable speed version so i can slow it down.
