Rust Removal
John Hill:
Darren, I am sure you will figure something suitable. I had a close shave with my cut-off saw which was mounted on a similar stand. I have solved the problem (in my mind :med:) and will 'one day' fit some sort of socket on the front of the stand so that I can put a long handle (maybe 3 feet of 2" water pipe, or sumfink) which will get me back in control when moving the machine, meanwhile I am very careful!
Did you fabricate the stand? It looks a neat job.
Darren:
Thanks John,
Yes I was thinking a pull out bar would give much more leverage and thus control.
I made the stand about 20yrs ago from what I had laying around, nice and solid... :thumbup:
Darren:
The current status after a good wash, pretty good condidering all the cement that this was covered in .I didn't clean any muck or grease off this time before I started just to see if it could cope. It did......not problem with that at all.. :thumbup:
This was too long for the middle section to fit in the solution
So as I said before I needed a bigger bucket.....so here it is..do you recognise it.... :lol:
To save my good steel bars which so far seem unaffected I purchased some re-bar from the local merchants, but any scrap will do.
Helen being the wonderful girl she is brought me a shiny new bag of washing soda from her shopping trip yesterday..this is 1KG at 59 pence.
I used this much this time around, about 100g
Chucked it in the bucket and filled with water.
As another experiment I'm trying a phone charger for the power supply. I didn't cut the end off and bare the wires as this one has another use, but it may be best if a proper connection is made. This one is 5V at 500ma or 0.5 amps if you prefer. Be sure to check the polarity before you connect....!! It's the diagram just above "Made in China" Or if you snip and bare the ends of the wires best check with a meter.
Initially I'm getting 4.8V at 350ma, but the ma may yet go up as the process gets under way. We'll have to wait and see.
A set up like this is perfectly happy outside, so any space in the garden will do, and it does not look unsightly too boot..... :thumbup:
Stilldrillin:
You got me wondering earlier Darren...... I couldn`t think of a larger bucket....... ::)
How will the solution cope with grass cuttings? :D

Jonny:
Excellent Darren and Dave cant wait to give it a try. I did mention it at work today which raised some eyebrows, if it goes wrong its £11k to replace.
Thanks.
