Another vote for the glass fibre bundle being a comm. cleaner. When I was an apprentice I spent a few months in an electrical engineering workshop, these were used in preference to emery cloth for cleaning commutators, cannot remember why (embedding?) other than if I had to use emery, use a bit with the "fight taken out of it"! Still have a couple that occasionally get used for cleaning motorcycle dynamo comms.

Hi Neil

Sorry but don't understand you comment.

Many thanks for the welcome. Yes, more space would be nice but as the workshop was built as part of the house extension I don't think it will be getting any bigger!

I'm already wondering how I managed to find time to go to work!

I'm a long time browser of this excellent forum and have just registered so I can join in. When I say "just registered" it seems I was already a member, a throwback to when I subscribed to ME? Anyway, the long forgotten password changed so here I go! Recently retired and beginning to spend a lot more time in the workshop with various projects, classic bikes and cars and steam. Also some small workshop equipment projects underway. I've been in mechanical engineering all my working life, although I was hooked long before starting work some 45 years ago.
