Title: New Tool Day - show us your new tools
Post by: gtudoran on October 16, 2015, 02:57:38 AM
Hey guys, what do you say about a topic in which we can post pictures / descriptions of the new tools that we buy. Here i go first, made some commissioned work (Schematic capture and PCB design) and as a small bonus i've received 2 DMM - VC97 ... excellent tools for the price, nice features and accuracy.

Heres my favorite tool- sometimes it works better than at other times, it always needs sharpening, but I usually don't lose it

where do you plug-in the thermocouple, cozy?

meters come w/ them standard nowdays? as for new tools, well, I found a hacksaw blade with nearly all it's paint on the other day.

Not new any more, but haven't posted it here (I think).

My home built Dremel drill press. Haven't broken a drill since using this. Drilled at least four (I think it's more like eight or ten) boards on it.

Edit: Cozy, that tool works best when you don't take it out of the box, just saying.

Some would argue that its best used outside the box. However, heres one way to keep it in the box, especially when your idea of fun is to take it to these places:

Apologies, getting waaaayyyy off topic here

how rude of me, trying to sidetrack when I can stay on track ......

I do have a new tool, looks like this:

[edit] I still don't know which is fine which is coarse [/edit] so's I can put a good, new sharp on my old tool:

the canadian steel goes good (but the chin steel looks like a row of broken teeth after one dig) so I can convert my fingers and:

into:
