Tighten up the ring that grips the spindle that holds the handlebars on a bike . Mind the ball bearing don’t fall out

I find the 'adjustable' ones are ever so slightly less of a knuckle skin remover....

Also used in variuos sizes for swimming pool pipe connections & Alfa-Laval & Westfalia seperators & autoclaves. You can also get square ended adustable ones.

Yes, I like those but never found any that last.. I used to get about 10 - 15 shock builds out of one before it became unusable

I've had my draper one for years, but it's only been used on headstocks, cycles, giraffe unicycle (before I changed the ball bearing bottom bracket to a sealed shimano jobby) and these days for twin shock adjustments on my motorbikes - back in the day I had the strength to do them by hand

Darn it ... I nearly said it was something to do with a chain as I'm sure we had a similar item for our Bond Minicar but the weeds in my garden were calling me to go pull them up so I didn't post!

Proxxon PD250e

One very early morning Amazon listed it at £829. 2 weeks later I started kicking off about delay and no delivery date. I'm guessing they've had to procure one at full price to fill my contract. It is arriving tomorrow all the way from Barcelona
Amazon product ASIN B010UTD3LI

Proxxon PD250e

Much better than a MiniLathe! I have Proxxon kit, including a scroll saw and a BFW40/E high speed mill. Excellent stuff.
Happy turning!

 

[Techno]

I have the Proxxon MF70 miller. The tool I use most is the 125mm bench sander

[bigwood]

Dependent on size that look like a collect locking ring spanner as used in lathes or milling machines.

You two are my new best friends - I'd love a lathe/milling mc in my workshop, but not enough space.

Now what format would you like my technical drawings in? (just a few motorbike bits you understand) ?
