I can't see why you'd need 2 grinding discs

1 coarse, 1 fine for sharpening edges.

I just use it to grind. Nothing subtle here

See my post back up there as to why I have more than one grinder.

It does say in the advert "2 pre-mounted 75mm diameter and 20mm wide discs (1 grinding disc, 1 polishing disc)

I need to post a correction, it's does have pre-drilled mounting holes. I need to go to spec savers.

Poor obs.

Presumably pre-tapped holes in cast lugs in the base? (I bet they're Cycle thread..... )

For the same reason you don't put a fine edge on a wood chisel with a concrete paver.

I've only played with this for 5 minutes but this is my new favourite tool...

It's a milwaukee cordless m12 portable bandsaw. Definitely didn't need it as I have a hacksaw but it cuts through steel and aluminium like butter. It cut that steel box section in a couple of seconds. Very pleased indeed and will definitely make cutting metal less painful (arthritis in fingers).

I've a few M12 milwaukee tools now and very impressed with all of them.

If anyone else wants a £25 bench grinder (should be £50)....I've got one and it's fine.

My nephew, apprentice electrician, loves his M12 kit, the cut off saw and heated jacket are particularly good. He barely picks his M18 kit up these days as the M12 is as capable as the higher voltage kit whilst being much lighter for all day use.

Cordless 1/2" router...


Oh, were you expecting it to be battery powered? It's definitely cordless though.

One of those came up in a video I watched yesterday.



Don't fret if you can't watch all of it, he / his style is an acquired taste

Watched it the other day, interesting build (although after watching three versions of the tambour door I ran out of time and went to work) with some amazing details.

I could get bored with hin chuntering on about tattoos mind.
