Actions/activities and tools
| Action/activity | Tools | Purchase options | Rough price | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cutting threads | Taps, Dies, Alignment jig | Arceurotrade sets - the "HSS Metric Tap & Die Set - 32pc - M3-M12" looks good. | £50 | Quality here is definitely worthwhile. Well made HSS taps and dies make a world of difference |
| Deburring | Deburring tools | Arceurotrade | £20 for a set | |
| Precise holes | Reamers | Reamers and sets | £80 for a set |
Hand tools
Proposals
- Small-scale metalwork: Basic tools (Total: around £780.11 incl vat., plus shipping and some storage)
- workholding (total: 19.98)
- 2*Bench Peg And Anvil (these clamp on to a bench edge, to support work) (£19.98) [1]
- workholding (total: 19.98)
- files and saws (total 116.45)
- 6"/150mm Flat File, Cut 2 Vallorbe (£12.12)
- Set Of 12 Needle Files, 16cm - All Cut2 (one has to avoid contaminating silver with iron, so we'll want separate files for ferrous metals in addition to this) (£19.98)
- Grobet/vallorbe Saw Frame Adjustable (£22.80) [2]
- 6" Deep Adjustable Saw Frame (£14.58) [3];
- Vallorbe Saw Blades Grade 2/0, Bundle Of 12*12 (£30.82); Vallorbe Saw Blades Grade 6/0, Bundle Of 12 (£3.70) (those saw blades are consumables - they break easily)
- Straight 7"/17.5cm Shears (£12.54) (for brutal cutting of sheet metal). Aviation snips would be useful on a larger scale
- files and saws (total 116.45)
- hammering (total 73.01)
- Flat Stake - 10cm X 10cm (£22.44) (this is a small anvil with a machined-smooth surface on all sides) [4]
- Planishing Hammer Cookson Value Range (£23.99) (a polished-surface hammer for surface finishing and work-hardening) [5];
- Rawhide mallet (£16.58) [6] (for hitting things without marking the surface);
- Generic ball-pean hammer (10?) (a non-polished hammer for hitting punches etc.);
- hammering (total 73.01)
- pliers and tweezers (total 110.99)
- Cookson 5 Piece,115mm Pliers Set (£37.38) (most cheap or kit pliers will have serrated jaws - these are the minimum quality I'd get: box-jointed with smooth jaws)
- Ring Bending Pliers, Cookson Value Range (£6.54)
- 5.5"/ 140mm Maun Flat Pliers Parallel Action (£22.79) [7]
- round triblet (for forming rings and suchlike) (£21.72) [8]
- Tweezer set (£22.56) [9] (brass and plastic tweezers for pickle, reverse and third-hand for soldering, fine for manipulating tiny things)
- pliers and tweezers (total 110.99)
- soldering: (total 106.63)
- Hand Torch (£18.00) [10] (this is ok for very small things. Much better for bigger work, and giving more control, would be a bottled-gas torch. The glass torch will do for now)
- Magnesia Soldering Block (£7.62) [11]
- Soldering Sheet 300mm X 300mm X 9mm (£7.91) [12]
- Picklean Safe Pickling Powder 150g (£6.49) [13]
- crock pot of some kind for keeping pickle warm (33?)
- hard silver solder paste (£33.61) [14] (consumable) (this is great for small-scale work; for bigger things one wants strip solder and flux)
- soldering: (total 106.63)
- marking out (total 86.35)
- flexible shaft drill and tools (total 266.70)
- cheap-but-decent Axminster model (190W) with 4mm keyed chuck and collet handpieces and hanger (£104.95+32.40+29.45+25.15) [20]. Others have suggested a (more expensive) Dremel model. Whichever we get has to have a foot control, reasonable power, and both chuck and collet handpieces.
- Polishing Kit No 2 (£53.99) [21]
- Set Of 20 Drills 0.3-1.6mm (£15.96) (consumable!) [22]
- diamond burrs (set of 30) (4.80) (consumable) [23]
- flexible shaft drill and tools (total 266.70)
- Toolmaking - presume we have elsewhere
- bench grinder
- mapp gas torch for annealing and hardening
- 4" engineers vice
- Toolmaking - presume we have elsewhere
- Stock
- Tool Storage
Either in the wall-mounted bins or in a cheap thin-drawer metal filing cabinet (72 from Rymans) [24].
- Small-scale metalwork: possible extensions, budget permitting
- Hammer With 25mm Nylon Head (£9.50)
- small swivel vice of some kind
- Lighting - some good desk task lighting (probably this should be included in the above)
- Bench polisher (not much)
- Doming block and punches, for forming sections of spheres (£200 from Sutton tools) [25]
- Bottled gas torch (£145 + gas) [26]
- Rolling mill (£807) [27] (for reducing the thickness of sheet, embossing texture and pattern (laser-cut?) on sheet surface, and making wire. Rolling mills come in between £200 and £2000; this is in the middle of the range, with just one pair of rollers but with gearing)
- Stereo microscope (£1500 new; hopefully less second-hand or donated)
- Raising hammers and stakes (for making forms out of metal sheet) (£ a few hundred)
- a wider range of flexible shaft tools: diamond burrs, stone-setting burrs, ... (each one is not very expensive, and these are semi-consumable - perhaps best got on demand)
- Small-scale metalwork: implausible extensions (just to give an upper-bound context)
Wishlist
Do we already have a general purpose socket and wrench set with extras like this 242 piece kit with cabinet for £100? www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cht497-242pce-tool-set-chest. We could use another when we have more users.
