You could also try Tradezone or Twiggs in Welly. I personally rate rolled cones way above the cylindrical versions. They last way longer as there’s loads of layers to get through and they’re smaller diameter, so won’t fly apart as easily. https://www.pferd.com/int-en/products/fine-grinding-and-polishing-tools/poliroll-polico/poliroll-cartridge-rolls-pr-and-prk-polico-abrasive-cones-pco/aluminium-oxide-a-type/ Thanks, went to Twiggs in Welly today, the PPS website is rubbish. Twiggs is researching.

Bling Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I just buy crappy ones off Ali, don't last fuck all (pretty shit lol), but they also cost fuck all, and I don't use them often. eg https://www.aliexpress.com/item/102pcs-Set-Sanding-Drum-Polihsing-Bands-Sleeves-Grit-Pads-Set-Rotary-Tool-Rubber-Mandrel-Kit-fits/32858418308.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.4bf94c4dtXvdrp I just use them for tight spots, power sander for everything else. I also only use a battery die grinder, so smaller diameter shafts, puhuhu 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bronze Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 One of the bolt holes that hold my starter in place is shagged. Should i attempt to retap with the same thread or drill out and step up a size? It's imperial thread so retapping the same means buying a set, stepping up I could do with my metric set. But, prefer to do it right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Helicoil. Keep the same size and gain the benefits of stainless thread instead of alloy, and if it shits itself, well just grab it by the end and zoom it out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles better/sharper at cutting threads than the absolute rubbish "Frost" brand set I have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 If you can fix the thread (by going bigger and metric) with a set you have, I'd go that way for sure. I can't see that fix not being up to the job anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is fleeting with danger of making future Mr bronzes life a worse place for the sake of a helicoil set Having not the right spanner for putting metric/imperial bolts in opposite thread holes and other surprises lay down that path in the future 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nominal Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 1 minute ago, SOHC said: those things are piss useless I'm wanting to use them to trim the edges of cuts in sheet metal to get good-fitting patches. They should be good enough for that? Not heavy grinding/stick removal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Don't have a belt sander by chance? Flipped upside down it could make for a good patch shaper. I use my powerfile to do it as I don't have the space to set up my belt sander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Doing the patches is not problem, I have a belt sander setup. It's more about getting the cutouts in the panels done nicely. I want to be close to this good, and I find it hard to do neatly with a cutoff wheel. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transom Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Buy a power file / finger sander thingy - perfect for stuff like that - air ones are cheap as or toolshed 240v version - belts are $1.99 for 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Yeah power file has changed my life. Also guilty of nipping it up in the vice for mini linisher duties. Handy having a round end, flat sections, and sections with no plate under them to run over/in curves etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I have ali-x version but haven't used it much - belts seem a bit crap, probably should buy some better ones locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
