Angus @modelman093 always speaks highly of them .. they are good TBF. ... think @doobin also does and is a Mak user (or was, I think) other than that, now't springs instantly to mind .... Oh I think James @Shovelhands is also a Mak fan too ... but thanks for thinking of me ... spare bits're always handy to have sat
Yes, lots of Makita here, and also regular customer of L&S, mainly for small engine parts, but they do all sorts!

L&S are brilliant

well had a quick shufty at said saw this afters and the lock out button for the trigger is exactly like the black ones you sent me @Canal Navvy
will have a better look tomorrow (was busy) and see if there's a home for the 'post' thingy too
I was trying to think of a member who buys off and recommends L & S , who likes to keep a stock of parts that are likely to fail and who also has stopped using Makita

left of centre .... some time ago we were discussing lifting radial drills somewhere
just found this actually attached to a Richmond radial drill, by the manufacturers .....
could be a useful reference for someone.
they're obviously using eye bolts in the T slots of the base

yeh it's how I've always lifted 'em, but a sling under, rather than rely on the T slots, plus always crossed 'em under the arm too .. no chance of it swinging then

If you watch cutting edge engineering on YouTube, he's been moving his machines round lately and you can see how he lifts them quite nicely.

place was a PITA ... 95% of their presses were taller than the roof structure and everything had to go in on its back, through an even lower area and be stood up, threaded into the roof steelwork ... that Rhodes was 27t, mega awkward thing to handle and a good two feet into the roof space.
Yank owned automotive component manufacturer ....... were in there almost every other weekend for years, moving lines about ... press shop had over 100 presses in it with next to no room to move about in. we had it off to a fine art
Pam's vege box sleepers came from there .. had four Hare 7t C frame presses flown over from the states at $20,000 each, in a 747 ... waited all day or 'em to arrive and eventually turned up at 10.30pm in a snowstorm ... customs had ****ed 'em about ...
spent the night uncrating them and installing in position ready for the 7am shift ...
the sleepers formed the not insubstantial pallets/stillages they were shipped on, on their backs ... 24 of 'em in all and some 8" square oak baulks, holding 'em all together. Big pallet basically
"can you guys get rid of all the shipping materials for us please? "
"No problem" Had a lorry full coming from there
we earned our corn that day/night
