GPO tools are now very collectible...a number 6 screwdriver recently went for £31 on EBay...I’ve still got most of mine that remained useful..

Happy days...

Cheers John

After reading through so many previous replies from people having the same problem, surety it would be easier to change the way photos are accepted...Is there a reason it’s done this way?

cheers John

81s...they were snipe or long nosed pliers used for wiiring...A GPO...part number...I still have mine..👍

Anyone know what the ME stands for?

Thanks zGerry...much appreciated..

Hi, has anyone dismantled a Baty dial indicator?

i want to remove the front glass and bezel to clean the face...There is a small hole in the bezel and when turned, 4 small slotted screws are revealed. Do these need to be removed to allow the glass and bezel to come off?

cheers John

Where did you buy them from Vic?...and are they accurate?

cheers

The pointed grub screw method works really well for lots of applications....keep it simple..👍

That’s exactly what I’m doing Thor...

im heading that way Vic...I just fancied the morse tapered one for ease of use, .. up finding a good one is not easy..very few uk suppliers have them, and those that do are quite expensive...you get what you pay for..

We’re they expensive?

I’ve just purchased a MT4-ER32 chuck for my Warco 250 lathe ...it’s got a 3thou runout on the collet taper which I find pretty poor for a tool designed for accurate work..

.The morse taper in the lathe spindle has almost no runout and the morse taper on the chuck body where it sticks out from the spindle reads the same.....the outer body of the chuck reads the same as the collet taper..3thou runout...

It’s being returned to the seller,

my question is...Where can I buy one that is guaranteed to be accurate?

cheers

Have a look on YouTube at the TS 100 12v soldering iron...something else...👍
