Tools worthy of a mention.

The peruzo tracked chipper. Cheap for what its capabilities and build quality are. It will go just about anywhere you will run out of balls before the machine gives up? and it chips well.

no it won’t replace a bigger roller fed chipper but on long straight material at about 3inch it gives the forst a run for its money, forget the twisty or forky stuff at speed, that takes longer but concidering you have no drag because the chipper is at the tree it’s bang on the money in the right situation. 

All in all a pro small chipper that does exactly what it says on the tin, a great compliment to our 8 inch machine

Speak to Dan at @equip4ind for more info, he is a good guy providing good service

Many thanks Will.

 

I will be taking the Unit to both the Arb show and the APF but if anyone would like a demo in the meantime we now have a demo unit.

Bought a parts washer for the chainsaw shed the other day thats worth a mention, its a completely self contained mess free unit that works a bit like a blast cabinet. The degreaser/solvent lives in the tray underneath and is sucked up and blown over the parts to be cleaned, excess is filtered back into the tray underneath, there is a light inside and it also has a fan running to clear the mist . Very well made thought out bit of kit. You do need a compressor .

 

There is a reason they have sold so many   https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SwitZer-Benchtop-Enclosed-Parts-Washer-Cleaner-Workshop-Degreaser-Pump-Grey/201624176716?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

 Its supposed to be bench top but the bench would need to quite low.

 

 

 

Compressed air draws up the degreaser through this gun

 

 

Reservoir pulls out on a slider and can easily be tipped out/swapped for water after degreasing to wash off with

 

 

 

Light inside and fan at the back

 

 

The fan I would recommend piping to an outside wall.

Looks good enough to have in any workshop. I'm not a fan of the water based degreasing stuff. It went smelly and mouldy in my old washer. What stuff do you use?

[Ratman]

If your a dedicated workshop, then contact “safetykleen” their product is ace [emoji108][emoji106] we’re on contract with them at work, so they come in once a month and swap barrels, they take the old used cleaner away and remanufacture it leaving you with a barrel of clean stuff.

My workshop is primarily for a couple of cars, a grey Ferguson and a couple of mowers. For fun and therapy only!

Ace stuff...?

They may sell you a barrel with a pending surcharge to get you on your feet to start with, then once you’ve done with it they may supply you with a fresh barrel minus your surcharge ?‍♂️ could be worth an ask. A barrel may last you nearer 12 months. We’re stripping trailer hubs and bearings daily and washing them out so we get roughly 3 weeks to a barrel before it starts going gloopy cos its done that much work. Really rate it [emoji106]

Kinell! took a few minutes to find this thread.

 

One for the bolt butchers and that includes myself. A small deburring gadget that goes in a cordless for tidying up the ends of bolts that have been mashed or cut down to length with a hacksaw. Makes easy work of it
