Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / October 2004Heads up... bargain
B&Q have a small compressor on offer at the moment... 1.5hp, 6 litre tank, QR airline, spraygun, duster, tyre infator and nail gun... all for 52 quid... The compressor is a bit noisy, but works... come with regulator and two gauges. Spray gun is gravity feed (good) but is a bit big for my needs... 1.5mm nozzle. Got mine from B&Q warehouse in Gateshead -- Philip Rawson www.flymodels.co.uk www.aeromodeller.org > B&Q have a small compressor on offer at the moment... 1.5hp, 6 litre tank, > QR airline, spraygun, duster, tyre infator and nail gun... all for 52 [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > www.flymodels.co.uk > www.aeromodeller.org Yes B&Q are doing some excellent bargains well suited for modellers, already got me another Mini Drill and a Scroll/Band Saw...excellent tools for a good price too....grab 'em whilst you can.

What sort of price was the scroll saw?

Scroll saw was £29.98 and it is excellent....It is made by Precision as is my Mini drill.....it's meant for wood but I have managed to cut a new chassis from Dural Aluminium plate (for my Nephews R/C Car) with it no problem at all......only took me 15 mins with the scroll saw compared to several hours with a Hacksaw. The saw is good heavy duty construction too.......spare blades are £9.98p for pack of 10...so worth it really. Mine is seeing plenty of use now.

I bought one a while ago and wondered how the heck I had managed without one before ! They are heavy construction and are really usefull. > The saw is good heavy duty construction too.......spare blades are £9.98p > for pack of 10...so worth it really. You were done ! Don't know where you got the blades. I got a pack of 10 about 2 weeks ago. £4-90'ish from a small independent tool shop rather than one of the sheds. I usually find that a lot of stuff is cheaper if you can find a source other than the sheds. Reg >>>>Yes B&Q are doing some excellent bargains well suited for modellers, >>>>already [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > Reg Reg, the sheds around here are cheaper than the local independants...that's why I went there in the first place....I normally always do shop around and actually found these to be the cheapest Locally.

Hand scroll saw B&Q £9 somethingish with 1 blade Hand scroll saw local DIY shop with 10 blades £4 - 90 Heavy duty mains switch for shower unit B&Q £15-- somethingish (fortunately they were out of stock so I had to go elsewhere) Heavy duty switch from small electrical supplier £4 - 50 !!!! Granted some things in the sheds are cheap, but a heck of a lot of things aren't. Reg >>>You were done ! Don't know where you got the blades.

Too true. I remember 'pair of reduced bath taps from £39.99 to £15' Got home, found they were different from basin taps, went out and got a pair of basin taps from hardware shop for £8.99 IIRC. Bath taps were £9.99 IIRC > Reg > B&Q have a small compressor on offer at the moment... 1.5hp, 6 litre tank, Is it an oil-free type ? SignatureBoo > > B&Q have a small compressor on offer at the moment... 1.5hp, 6 litre tank, > > Is it an oil-free type ? Yep -- Philip Rawson www.flymodels.co.uk www.aeromodeller.org >>>B&Q have a small compressor on offer at the moment... 1.5hp, 6 litre > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Yep Impressive. Sadly my local bean queue doesn't stock it, I'll have to head for the nearest warehouse tomorrow... Thanks, SignatureBoo > The compressor is a bit noisy, Indeed - according to the box it's 99 dB :-( Ouch. That would be more than I'm prepared to put up with indoors. Shame because for the £79 that the Croyden bean queue were asking, the kit would be an astonishingly good deal. SignatureBoo I built mine a box made from several layers of carpet tiles. It's quiet enough now... but it's no longer portable. -- Philip Rawson www.flymodels.co.uk www.aeromodeller.org > > The compressor is a bit noisy, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > -- > Boo >>>The compressor is a bit noisy, >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > I built mine a box made from several layers of carpet tiles. > It's quiet enough now... but it's no longer portable. Hmmm... possible refinement : box with a lid ? :-) SignatureBoo It is easy to build a small box around it with some insulation inside. Cuts down the noise considerably. -- Paul McIntosh http://www.rc-bearings.com > > The compressor is a bit noisy, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > -- > Boo |
