Grew tired of my very old small imperial sockets so have purchased a new set of small diameter sockets for my 1/4 inch drive torque wrench, have also bought a small imperial set of taps and dies, I know I have a big old vintage set somewhere but cannot locate them and needed to clean up a thread to fit a hydraulic fitting in the fuselage.

  Jul 29, 2021     New Bandsaw, assembly & setup       Category: Tools

Bought a new bandsaw, did have one but it was fairly old and not very powerful, this will be used for both woodworking and the aircraft kit. I'm using a 6 TPI blade which is a little brutal for aluminium but is ok if your careful. 8 ot 10 TPI (teeth per inch of blade) is recommended. It came with a stand which I've added wheels to so it can be moved around workshop and put out of the way when not in use.
