all manner of mechanical apparatus...
I bought one of these as I will have a need to drill large holes.....

So in due course it arrived, I haven't used it yet. Today I got an email from ebay saying that as this could be an "offensive weapon" and a refund was to be paid "prompty" into my account......
WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE!!!!! they are being withdrawn and you will get a refund.... So if you don't want one I would buy it quickly....
 
Do you get to keep the offensive goods then?:rolf::rolf::rolf::rolf:
 
I'm sure I remember my Grandfather had a similar devise to fit in his brace (and bit). I don't think he ever got his money back.

Can I have it now?


:laugh::laugh::laugh:
 
The worlds gone mad, lets be honest a lot of things could be offensive if used outside their original remit.I got one of those cutters awhile back from Ebay, they are great.....the only person it hurt was me.......forgot to tighten up the grub screw :rolf::rolf:
Morning all

So far so good, they have not asked for it back...
Tomorrow I'll mount it in my Brace and use it to hold up a bank. "If you dont hand over the cash I'll hold you down and drill a 200mm hole in you"

I bought an attachment for a Dremel sometime ago, called RotorZip. I am not sure whether it is still available but it will cut tiles, wood etc with the special drill bit required for it. Just first drill a hole..and away to go.. just.follow the drawn lines..... almost like a jigsaw in action but its a drill type piece of gear.

I believe they now have a complete drill type tool for the job...see below

Ross there is a circle cutter fro Dremel out now, dremel sits in a base and connected to an arm that has a spigot that fits in a predrilled hole. It is however quite expensive....

Make sure you use a cordless drill, otherwise you might look an idiot "If you dont hand over the cash I'll hold you down and drill a 200mm hole in you, oh can you plug this in first please?"

Aye Ross I've got the tool.

Was on offer a my local B&Q a few years back complete with a load of attachments for sawing and sanding (and a very nice carry case).

Can't remember the last time I used it. Don't get me wrong it's a cracking tool, but I've got other stuff that does the jobs that the Rotozip does without having to fasten extra bits n bobs on, so it's just quicker to lay my hands on something else.

Great for cutting the hole for your sink in a new kitchen worktop though.
 
Holy Nanny State!

Better stock up on Xacto blades before they ban them also, afterall they can used potentially to mass murder Barbie Dolls Hello Kitty and Paddington Bears!

I have a very similar looking tool, but it has only one cutter. I purchased it about thirty years ago to cut grooves into two beams to be fastened together. Once the grooves are cut to maybe a half inch in depth, a steel ring is placed in the groove of one of the timbers, then the second timber is pressed into place. So the ring acts like a shear device. A hole is drilled through the beams so that it passes through the center of the steel ring. Then the two beams are held together with a bolt, washer and nut.

Funny thing is that when I told the carpenter that he had to install the shear ring about fifty feet up, working on a scaffold, using a hand held half inch drill, he wanted to know if it was safe. I told him, that's why I'm sending you up there.
