Oh for the spare cash to buy one!
More in keeping with my budget (I expect) does anyone know if you can still buy stakes/stumps for roller removal? I’ve seen them listed in articles but haven’t found any for sale so far. Only been looking for about a week though, but no joy at all.

      Balance cock stud screw

      How about using a magnetised screwdriver for picking-up and fitting screw, then run the assembly through a demagnetiser.  I know magnetism is a no no, but this method is less fiddly, and has worked for me on several occasions.

      Find a plastic tube, cut longer than the K&D, put your tools etc in it and hold both ends.  The plastic shouldn't have any effect.

      Hi, I’m thinking about upgrading my demagnetizer and wanted to check to see if anyone has experience (good or bad) with the Chinese knockoff of the Elma demagnatizer. At present I use the cheap blue job on watch movements and while a tad clunky it seems to work OK for movements. However it doesn’t really handle tools and other larger pieces (like my anvils which are very magnetized) particularly well. i also have a US made K&D demag unit but have put it aside permanently re: it is so strong I can’t hold the tools, anvil whatever stable enough while passing the piece through the donut hole and ultimately the piece ends up more magnetized then when I started. Feedback would be most welcome since I can’t justify the $299 for a Elma unit but can spring $49 for a Chinese knock off.   thanks jay

      404 Club Reboot

      By Waggy · Posted

      Due to inflation our 404 club price cap seems a little unworkable, so here are some options to re-boot ihe idea - first three are what common currency to choose (pic 1  out of 3) the rest 4-10 are the price cap  (pick 1 out of the 7 options)
