A saw guide for cutting beams. Hopefully not as I don't want to have to find something else.0

Maybe it was too obvious, Veronese has got it already!!!
It's a saw guide for pushing bits of wood towards the blade when using a band saw (I've always used a piece of wood with a notch cut out which we called a push stick)~~~~~~Sustrans - Join the Movement~~~~~~0 -
Oh hell, surely I wasn't close enough. I'm off in search of an object, back in a bit.0

Right, disappeared into the warehouse for a bit and hopefully I found something not too obscure.
The large machine, not the parts around it.0 -
Looks like something you threaten apprentices with.Open One+ BMC TE29 Seven 622SL On One Scandal Cervelo RS0

It looks like it is part pillar drill, part lathe and part weighing scales.0

is it for forming metalwork? the wheel moves the screw up and down, the large dial on the front tells you the pressure and the point above the screw is what the metal is formed around? or for pressing two parts together?0

Does it put rivets in?

Yes, but no. It's a Rockwell tester. Near enough for me though so over to you.Capt Slog wrote:Does it test metal hardness? Brinell method?0 -

Ok, try this...
That's a AA cell BTW, just for scale.

Looks like it works the same as a crank puller for square taper bottom brackets. I presume it's not a crank puller, though.0

Nothing to do with taps.

Yes. It removes the olives from 15 or 22 mm pipe.Phil_D wrote:It's a tap gland that's been modified though isn't it?
No idea. If so, not by me, it's a commercial product.

You'll have to forgive Piña the Diva, she's not very bright. Its the result of forgetting which drink she'd slipped the Rohypnol into and then drinking the wrong one too many times. I'll get Arran to start posting why are we waiting soon.0

I think this gender inversion is some sort of wishful thinking on your part V68, it does concern me.
