Something Else Exciting is also on it's way

Jasons bought a shaper !

Another guess along the right lines but have already said there is not a SX2.7L in the box

Do they still make new shapers ADY1?

Text message says its due today

I bet it's that rusty S7 off the top of that narrow boat. Maybe the chainsaw is thrown in for good measure

To put you out of your misery, this is what it says on the side of the crate.

It would seem that ARC Eurotrade are doing their bit for the enviroment and not using polystyrene packaging which just goes to landfill, instead they have taken to packing around the machines with bits of tooling, etc.

Looks a bit like someone did a supermarket sweep of the ARC warehouse and as you can see there is a 150mm rule in there so one right answer.

Just need to work out what all these bits do and how to use them

That was worth waiting in and opening the door for.

Now you will be able to tackle those 'Elmers engines'

Lottery win eh ?

So whats in the little boxes 😛

Wow. That bench top must have been empty before the unpacking. How did you manage that?

Think we need a full inventory!

No, you just need the special ARC discount code that only me and Neil have

Clearly, you are going to set up a second workshop in the back of the Scooby.

Did ARC do a pre delivery prep on the mill ? It looks pretty clean and fully assembled, although we can only see the top half .

When i got my X2 it took half a day just to get the grease and wax paper off it then i had to fit the handles etc.

Hey Jason. Is there a 12.3 mm drill bit in this lot.?

If so you had better check it's tolerance with that 150 mm ruler.

Nick

Still dripping in chicken fat just like it left the factory. There is nothing to assemble except putting a couple of handles onto the handwheels which are reversed so they don't get knocked off.

Nick I'm not measuring the drill as that is not important, it's the hole that matters and there is a set of miniature bore gauges in there somewhere. Anyway steel rules are not for me, you should know us site boys are happiers with an old tape measure

Congratulations on winning the lottery Jason.

Russell

Nice box of 'stuff' Jason

Nige

Nice stuff... I was 99% there... apart from the R8 designation... ​ ... some pics of completed assembly would be nice... just to make us drool.

George.

Enough there to keep Jason busy for a few days, maybe even a couple of weeks...

It will take me that long to find somewhere to put it all !

I still haven't quite finished rearranging my workshop for the SC4. the stand fitted, but I couldn't get the gearbox cover open, so I had to shorten and move my milling bench. I then had to move the mill on the bench. Then I had to move my vice. But it still clashed with the power feed, so I had to move the vice again. Which meant I had to reinforce another bench. Then I had to move my 'surface plate'. I also had to remove one shelf and put up three new ones. At least the shaper was able to stay in it's original place, but I now have a bandsaw that has no permanent home.

Friend of mine was once asked to provide a copy of the calibration cert for his tape measure, and no I'm not joking. Although I'm a great believer in QA, this sort of thing shows why you shoudn't give the job of QA man to your least competent employee.
