    Went to Axminster today, only 40 minutes away, and bought a belt and disk sander.

    Very nice. My buddy went there to do a course on using his mill. I'm sure it was there, because I made the obvious pun about carpets.

    Will do, when I have done more than just quick test.

    Edit: Had a good bit more of a play with it today and I'm happy with it. The belt works well, is easy to adjust the tilt and set the belt centralised. It's easy to make a surface flat, make a taper or sand a chamfer. The wheel is well balanced but, a bit aggressive, with the supplied 80 grit disk, for the first job I want it for. The sander is not too noisy, runs smoothly in bearings which have no play and the dust extraction works well. I bought a conical, rubber adapter to connect to my Henry. It is also weighty, stable and doesn't move or wobble in use.

    No, you don't. Would've grabbed them myself if I'd been in your shoes.

    Bellroy card sleeve, been looking for a new card holder that will take a note or two, this one covers the cards totally which solves the annoying problem of my current one where the cards all get damaged on the outer face.
    Its got a little tab you pull to reveal the cards, works nicely

    I have either my trusty cordless Ryobi fan, OR a selection of Deltas, only issue being the deltas will need bolting down and even then theres a risk they will move the unit I bolt them to.

    Doesn't everyone on here use a 12v supply and a bunch of spare case fans when the going gets hot?
