What - non Festool - tool / workshop related gizmo/stuff did you buy today?

[festal]

I bought 2 of their segmented cutter heads. One for Ridgid jointer and one for Jet planner/jointer combo. Zero issues and cheaper then others

It wasn't for the JPT-260 by any chance? As I'm after one myself but CSP Tooling doesn't have the design specs for that combo machine to make one up.

Its the JJP-12. I also reached out to CSP and got the same answer so then i stumbled upon findbuytool and with the coupon at the time it was the cheapest one

Thanks but with shipping, GST and customs fees it ends up around $1500-$1750 roughly, we have a local seller for around $1200 for a spiral, but if I can get the design specs CSP can make a true helical and ship for around half that! I might have to wait till I can get to it and measure it for them to make one.

Chances are that you have absolutely NO idea. No clue whatsoever.

This is what I pay my butler and footman to know.

Sorry Mike, you're a great guy, but I'm calling BS on this. You're in Germany. Everyone knows that only genuine English gentlemen who live in English castles (= guys like me) have butlers and footmen. I actually just sent my butler out to the shop to sanitise my TS55. It had a speck of dust on it. My footman couldn't go, because he was too busy polishing my work boots before he fed my horses and polished my carriage. He also needed to get up early tomorrow to fetch my bowler hat and pinstripe carpentry suit from the dry cleaners.

Nice try, though.

LMAO.

I was hoping you would not see through my obvious charade.  [big grin]

I was single and underemployed long enough to know what most grocery staples cost, and how to eat for cheap.  The price of a 1 pound box of pasta has, for reasons unknown to me, remained perfectly stable for almost 25 years now, not yet subject to either inflation nor shrinkflation (certain 'fancy' shapes notwithstanding).

Block and shredded cheese has remained somewhat stable as well, although I've moved from grocery generic to WalMart generic. The chances are that they come from the same factory anyway.  Name brands seem to be stable as well.

Online shopping with drive-up pickup has made the impulse shopping much less likely for our family now, but the flip side is that it's pretty easy to just toss an extra tub of ice cream on a pickup order that gets loaded into your car than it is to try to fit it into a cart that's already overflowing with diapers and non-dessert food.

A little late, but a few weeks ago I bought a 300mm (12") digital caliper from Taylor Tools:https://taytools.com/products/absolute-digital-caliper-12-300

At $30 I'm sure it's not the most accurate caliper in the world, but for that extra length capacity it seems to be doing fine for when my 6" Starrett isn't long enough.

Well I tried the Domino tenon router bits tonight, they are absolutely superb!

It's hard to tell from the pics but the grooves are really well defined. The trick I found is to cut them 2mm wider than you want, and take off a 1mm pass from each side to get the full profile really well. I'm also thinking of machining some rollers for my electric cable stripper to press glue channels into the faces.

I bought a Milwaukee 150' laser distance meter, a Milwaukee Green 360 3-plane laser kit, and a Milwaukee 72" tripod.

I'm starting to build my basement shop next weekend so I thought these might be useful.

Next on the order list is Rockler Dust Right Wall-Mount HEPA Cyclone 1250 CFM Dust Collector.  Hopefully I can pick that up this weekend while I'm taking a break up at Lake W in NH, IF it fits in our Q7.

After finally learning how vernier scales work from a post on the FOG, I convinced myself I needed a set that reads in metric. EBay to the rescue,

I was delighted to see that Stihl recently expanded its range of 10.8/12V cordless gardening tools. I'm running the GTA 26 saw for a couple of years now and couldn't be happier with it. Initially they had the GTA 26 saw and HSA 26 "hedge trimmer/ grass cutter". Never got the HSA 26 because I have a similar tool from Bosch with integrated battery. Sometime ago they came out with a small vacuum (SEA 20), not really what I need. But now they also offer 2 hedge trimmers and a brush cutter. Those are fairly recent additions to their AS system portfolio. HSA 30 (45 cm cut length) hedge trimmer, HSA 40 (50 cm cut length) hedge trimmer, FSA 30 brush cutter. They now also have a 1.5m extension to use the GTA 26 saw "over head".

To replace our +-20 yrs. old mains powered hedge trimmer that is on its last leg, I bought the HSA 40. This will be the perfect, light-weight and cordless solution to make the few cuts we need to make twice a year.

Great thing, just like the GTA 26 saw, it is Made in Germany.

Next on the list is the brush cutter.

Well i paid for it a fortnight ago, but today picked up my brand new Harvey RT-800 router table for my table saw, with free rust.

Its the last 3 words that upset me the most, I dont know whether to complain, or suck it up, but in the mean time, other than wax or wd40, how should i stop it expanding?

I probably should do a post in another section on this and the table saw its self, as i think if i buy anything else it will only be the router fence, and then the company i went through i will never use again, as ive had to chase them every time i purchase stuff...but i guess you get that some times.

I use Boeshield T-9 on my jointer bed. It didn't come with that fancy free rust, but I might have dripped sweat onto it once or twice [unsure]. If only some dummy had put some on there first......  [big grin]

Be careful Oliver if you decide to purchase the HSA 26...it's underwhelming to say the least. I've been extremely happy with the RMA 510 V mower, the BGA 86 blower and the KMA 135 R KombiMotor, all perform at or above the level of their gas powered equivalents.

I purchased the HSA 26 to trim small rose bushes but that was a fail, I now use it as a small grass cutter for those areas where the string trimmer can't fit or where the string trimmer may cause some damage.  [sad]
