[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1040327, member: 176704"] Hello - me again with something else coming up from Lidl, and it's something I've rarely, if ever, seen before: It's a [URL='https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/Non-Food-Offers.htm?articleId=10771']bench mount grinder/cutter[/URL]that's a bit like a mitre saw - but for metal - supposedly available from next Sunday, and - if the same is true as was for the mitre saw - they'll have some cheap replacement blades available as well. [ATTACH=full]114650[/ATTACH] Looks very useful, and should be a lot more usable than my current lash-up rig using an old angle grinder on a tool-stand with a press-drill vice to hold the metal to be cut - which it doesn't do very well at all. PS: regarding the broken knobs on the bench press drill, I stripped useful bits off the old one before junking it and found that the knobs on that have exactly the same internal M8 threads as the Parkside drill and fit it perfectly - pity I was too late to cancel the order of round ones from China :( [/QUOTE]
