Had one of those many years ago....

I was fascinated with the on light of my brother's collero record player. The Jackdaw effect.

It would be nice if you could show the current values ​​and voltages. In the comments it is repeatedly mentioned that short circuits occur and that the end devices are destroyed.

I believe the specifications are that the anp clamp is good for currants above 5 amps

gd168b kaiweets can you review this meter

Really liked how DC voltage gets through the water. Lots of problems with this at work in food industry with daily wash downs.

You do a great job of pointing out the weakness of non-industrial tools while highlighting your mechanical skills. I don't think anyone is buying a Dremel for such precise use though. Good to see the rumours of your early death are not true Chris. Cheers.

Amazing review. Thank you.

Nice little drill, thanks for the review! The motor looks very replaceable, in case you decided to put something quieter with more torque in there, such as some sort of brushless spindle motor. It looks like the basic 'bones' of the hardware are good enough to warrant some upgrades. Oh, I found those small selfie-cam ring lights to be quite handy for things like this. I added one to my old stereo microscope and it worked wonders. Glad to see you back, thanks for the entertainment! Cheers!!

Proxxon is probably better kit for precision production work. I'm not impressed with Dremel.

What a fab little machine! I have a Dremel on a drill stand, and never gave a thought to the accuracy. It's been fine for my less than pinpoint requirements over the years, but my word, there's a lot of 'slop' - particularly in the stand! Fantastically presented video, and a great review

Hello Chris, good high content video we all expesct fron you. A good pillar drill is on my wish list, but first I need to get my front suspension repaired due to our lovely British roads. Round holes are the best. Peter C

I bought one of those drill presses about 5 years ago; mainly for PCB work, but also very useful in our church pipe organ restoration business. Richard, UK

Hello, Chris. Thank you for another in-depth review! So hard to decide what is good value for money these days, your videos certainly help. My biggest concern would be that plastic motor housing - though there are some amazing plastics out there. Some temperature checks would be interesting. Also, added lighting sounds like a excellent idea. Regards, David

Hi Chris, that looks ideal in conjunction with my Unimat lathe in a small work room like mine. I use those very same carbide drills.

Nice and informative as always Christian. I have been using my standard drill press up to now but that looks to be a better option.

A very good revue Chris.

very interesting little drill press I have an old bench drill thats good for the heavy stuff Ive always used a little como drill hand held with no problems but then Ive been drilling SRBP and veroboard that FR4 is hard stuff

The machining on most drills nowadays is very poor and I am talking about hand drill pistol if you like the cheap bearings and sometimes only one or even no bearings leads to chuck runout so much you can't drill a round hole at all. The whole purchasing and using is hit and miss what quality you get, a bit like the old ford joke of a Friday car 🙂

Great demo on the lateral movement issue with dremels etc. I have an ORYX PCD Pcb drill and the vertical height of the entire assembly is just 8" or so which I think contributes to having bits last a good while before breaking. Sometimes though they will just break (0.8mm) for no apparent reason, and I always thought was likely due to hitting hard spots through the FR4. At work we used to employ somebody to drill PCBs and you'd hear the machine all day long......broken only with random swearing as he broke drill bits. PS. The ORYX runs at 18000rpm.

The spaghetti is far better than most Amazon bought drill bits.

Note - I repeated the steel drilling test with the low speed selected on the drive belt pulley and as you would expect it did much better then shown in this video. Unless drilling soft materials like wood the use of this drilling machine should be restricted to smaller drills maybe 4mm as the maximum. I would not recommend it for 10mm etc. The tool is however perfect for the intended purpose of drilling small holes at high speed. The drilling machine is manufactured to a good standard and is good value for money.

Keep pumping until the die passes all the way through your material. That way it doesn't get stuck in your piece 👍🏼👌🏼

Hello! I have one of these radios on my bench right now, and was really happy to find your video. I'm in the process of doing a full restore. Do you still have yours? If so, and I end up painting myself into a corner getting it back together, would you be willing to entertain some questions or make some references for me? I saw your post on Antique Radios forum, and will send you a PM there. Thanks!

Enjoyed the loading demonstration.

Very interesting, I've never seen a table being entombed before! Surprised you can move it, the weight of the PVA alone should 'stick' it to the floor - ha ha😉

Would be nice to be able to simultaneously measure voltage and current, then simultaneously display voltage, current, power. Nice review and educational.🙂

Another masterpiece of radio restoration. Thank's for this Chris. Now its time for me to get started on my DAC 90 😊

Have got 3 hro a very nice radio to use.coil packs are a easy to tune.

Mine has the hum also.

The manual is online. It has an automatic antenna "tuner", thats the noise you hear. The manual is on line also.

Okay for spares. I got one some 45 years ago for £6 in pretty good condition. I used to listen to amateurs on a.m. on Top Band, they sounded great on it. KT61 at £90? Go to a radio rally. Luckily I have a spare. I have today received an X78, I put it off for several years as they were £20 and last week an unused New Old Stock was £50. I managed to get one supposedly new unused boxed saying it tests good, for £3. I've never heard of Edicron valves. No equivalents. Drive cord needs attention and the leather straps on the back need replacing to get it good again. G4GHB.

Just bought one on Amazon for $41.00. Call it inflation or maybe I'm just crazy. All I can say is if it works it will be worth it.

The fan side has to be removed ..then it will pull out as a deck ..just like my HP

Sorry for not staying in touch, my other half Wayne, has been diagnosed with Post Combat Stress Disorder. He served in the RAF during the Gulf Conflict. We will leave it there, as I'm sure that this is not the place to talk about such things. Anyroad (Anyway), you're doing a fine job👍👍👍👍👍💗💗💗💗💗😊😊

I converted my older nicad to li-ion and they work and last a LOT longer than the old batteries did.

After 4 years I had some pain updating the firmware. First attempt ended up with a screen saying "Fatal". After several hours I tried the automatic mode in STM32 and it worked. Now on latest firmware, sadly no tracking generator. Still a very useful tool

My Tacklife heat gun arrived not had much chance to use it but i have tried it and quite like it. You were saying about Videos i don’t like videos with music and trying listen the guy talking. Some crap music i switch off

Hi Chris, Loved the video series on the Bush DAC10. I am in the process of repairing one. I have seen a Metallised X2 polypropylene film capacitor which is 0.0.1 microfarad at 310V AC on e bay and wondered if these would be a suitable replacement for the two mains waxy capacitors? Keep up the good work😊 All the best from NOT so sunny Wales 😎 . Michael.

I think it’s a much more attractive case than the bulky DAC10, although the latter was probably better quality.

It’s been a very, very long time since I’ve seen such an in-depth review filled with so much information and value. Thank you.

Very interesting video and very appreciated. I use a heat gun on the workbench a lot, for small heat shrink work I use a gas one but after watching your video tempted buying the Tacklife 350c Thank you Tushingham Electric Bikes

laugh out loud moment!🤣

Clip the 9V batteries to each other in series?

My word all this time about the smell. Do something else constructive in your life. This isn't for you pal..

Duh.. You have the RF gain sitting down at 3 Oclock. Turn it up...that is if you want to receive stations guy.Thought everyone knew this.
