Already have one and the bandsaw, I have found them to be a very reliable brand. All I need now is a thicknesser / planer and then a workshop extension 😇 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I have been tidying in the garden, the aim is to empty out and free up the little 4' x 6' greenhouse out there to fit a bench which the mill I am currently rebuilding can go in. having run out of bench space, its going to take a massive clearout to clear the garden, and maybe even clear the shed for more workspace, though that is now at the stage where it needs a lot of work to regain its water tightness, one wall has rotted out just where the roof attaches, but first there is an awful lot of stuff to be transferred to the tip.

grendel Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 further news on the solar workshop, thanks to a generous offer from one of our members who had just replaced his boat batteries, I picked up 4 used 110Ah batteries at the meet, aside from catching up with everything else that needed doing i managed to pick up some battery leads ready made at halfords and was ready to clear a space and get the batteries installed on my workshop solar system. of course i didnt have any nuts that fitted the threads on the battery terminal posts, so using the inverter to power my little lathe i put in some hex brass, drilled it at 6.5mm (tap drill for 5/16 bsw) then threaded the inside of the hole and parted off the 6 nuts i needed, then it was just a matter of connecting everything together, i still need to tidy up everything, place a board over the bottom layer of batteries and stack the stuff that was already there back on top, but i did notice that even on this dull grey day with only fleeting glimpses of sun, I was charging at 2.5A, now to give it a few days for everything to top up charge, all the batteries were pretty close in charge state, but they will need to properly balance to each other. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikertov Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 Was that the Unimat 3 to the rescue making the nuts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
