180mm Sander Polisher


Good afternoon all. Slightly later than usual today as a visit to the local doctors was called for due to a head cold thats been bugging me for days, so obviously came to the point where my better half frog marched me down to the local doctors where I had to wait 2 hours in a waiting room full of people (probably exposing me to more dangerous illnesses than the one ive got!) only to be told I've got what I knew I had anyway!


Waste of time! Never mind, got something that isnt a waste of time for you this afternoon. This 1200 watt sander polisher. Sold quite a few of these mainly for those refurbishing cars as they are great for compound polishing or buffing up.

DTAS Ripper Blade


Good morning all. The product I have chosen this morning is the all purpose cutting blade from DTAS. This product is nothing short of fantastic!


It will cut through almost anything! Rips through tree roots, wood board and planks, fence panels, thin metal sheet, nails, screws, flashing, decking, groundwork, rubber, plastic and abrasive blocks. Anything a diamond blade can't do!


Check out the video of it in action:


 


This is the ultimate multi purpose blade.

Ideal for the following professionals:

Tree Surgeons and Landscapers

Roofing Contractors

Decking Contractors

SheetMetalWorkers

Farmers

Council Departments

Agricultural Contractors

Forestry Commission

Demolition Contractors

Railway Contractors

Window Fitters

The Rippa blade is a perfect replacement

for chainsaws. The Rippa blade will not

‘clog’ itself or the petrol saw that drives it.

It can be used in applications that chainsaws

are not allowed to be. Perfect for use

in conjunction with stump grinders.

The RIPPA blade can be used on a huge range

of different materials – one after the other –

with minimal segment clean-up after use

even on materials such as rubber.

Bahco s26 mini ratchet set



Good morning all.Today with me being a fully fledged 'bahco-phile' I thought I'd have a closer look at this s26 mini ratchet set from Bahco. One of the reasons for my bordering on obsession with the Bahco's products is how (I feel) they just beg to be picked up! Im not sure whether its the colour, how they package the products or if its just me! Although everytime someone comes into see me, they are instantly drawn to whatever bahco product I happen to have around at that time. So maybe is not just me (I live in hope!).


This is a cracking set, handy to keep anywhere, the Bahco quality and solid feel ever apparent.

Special Price on Superthin Cutting Discs



115 x 1 x 22mm A46BF Metal Cutting Discs



Hello! Hope everyone has had a relaxing weekend. Had to mention these cutting discs as they came in very handy over the weekend when cutting through some old metal shelving I was getting rid off from the garage. So suitably kitted on in all the saftey kit I could find (I had to look the part), safety goggles, dust mask, leather gauntlets, full suit of armour... Ok maybe I made up the full suit of armour, but you get the picture.


Making sure all my safety gear was in place, looking very much like an over cautious Marshmallow man, I proceeded with the job in hand.


Suffice to say these cut through the (mild steel) like a hot knife through butter. The only downside to this of course was that I ended up finishing in half the time I originally anticipated, meaning I would have to help out my other half in the house...


So being ever the quick thinker (not) I proceeded to cut the remaing pieces into smaller and smaller chunks until eventually I was left with a pile of short ends and a heck of alot of dust, meaing I had to spend an extra half hour cleaning up the patio outside!


Serves me right I suppose!


Anyway enough of my chatter heres the official info on these:

Word of warning before I go, dust from the cutting gets absolutely EVERYWHERE! Worse than a trip to the beach, I look forward to finding metal dust for many weeks to come... Until tomorrow!


All the best

Flex cutting AND grinding discs



Flex Cut & Grind



Hello and good morning! Hope all are well. Today I am going to be giving a quick review on this fairly new product from Hermes abrasives. Better known for its fantastic sanding belts/discs etc, Hermes also manufacture a range of cutting discs, with the 'Flex' being one of them.


This is a cutting disc however with a twist, enabling you to cut & grind with the same discs due to a unique design which enables the disc to flex when grinding so that the disc does not shatter and break.


Being the cynical sort of person that I am, I expected the disc to be mediochre at best in terms of cutting and marginally better with regard to grinding.


I was wrong. Again.


I found the disc excellent to cut with and then the ease of just changing the angle makes short work of gridning anything, saving lots of time as there is no need to change disc!


One of my customers found this particularly useful as he works at height where changing a disc can be a precarious practice and a nightmare with regards to health and safety. So this is the sort of situation where the flex disc comes into its own.


Official 'bumf'


With the Brand New FLEX disc, the disc specifically designed and engineered to the strictest oSa safety requirements, you now have the flexibility to cut & grind steel & stainless steel with NO disc change! Saving time, costs and increasing efficiency, enabling you to get more done, in a shorter time with no compromise on finish quality.


How does it work?


Usually if you attempt to grind with a cutting disc, the wheel will fracture and break as it is only designed to take force from the front of the disc



With the flex disc, it has been specifically engineered to slightly flex when force is put on the bottom of the disc, enabling grinding and cutting without changing disc.



Specification


115 x 3.5 x 22 mm / 4 1/2 x 9/64 x 7/8


a46 T - BF Cut & Grind for Steel and Stainless Steel


Fe+S+Cl Free


Product benefits


Very high resitance to fracture

Complies with oSa safety requirements

Only one tool required for cutting and grinding work

Save time on wheel changes

Low disc weight gives fewer vibrations and less noise - operator friendly

Inox wheels - free of Iron

Gives an excellent surface finish

Applications


Cutting from solid materials or profiles

Grinding weld seams

Dressing Castings

Removing welding splashes

Scale removal


Grab them HERE for 4.35 (+VAT) for a pack of 5


Oh and dont forget, send me a relevant product review or question and you will receive a voucher for 10% off everything at our online tool and abrasive store


Drop me a quick email at mr.sandman@ccabrasives.com


I always appreciate any comments or questions!


So thats the flex disc for you, if you have come across the flex disc before, I would very much like to know your feedback on the product maybe from a different point of view


Back to reality for me, shall scour the shelves and catalogues for something to try and grab your interest for tomorrow, thanks for reading!


All the best

Einhell Cross Cut Mitre Saw



Einhell Sliding Crosscut Mitre Saw



Hello all! Just a quick few thoughts on this Cross cut mitre saw from Einhell.


I have to admit I was a little apprehensive about this product when I first saw it in the promotional deluge I have to wade through every day, as at £89.99 (inc VAT) for a machine of this power of any quality would usually be more above the 100 quid mark.


I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was wrong! The general feel and finish on this product belies the price paid and is to the standard found on machines twice this price.


Unfortunately I was not left long with my new toy, as this belonged to a gentleman who had purchased from our online store, so I had to watch very sadly as this was packaged up and sent out without even having the chance to fire it up!


 


Official 'Bumf'


The sliding cross cutting and mitre table saw KGSZ 2100 gives a clean and precise cut of wood without any problems.


Double mitre cuts are possible because of its tilting and swivelling motor-head.

So after watching the cross cut saw disapear onto the horizon in the courier van, I now must once again wade through the ever growing torrent of products available to review and hope for something else of interest, I shall let you know how I get on tommorow!


All the best
