I bought two more sets of EEVBLOG uSleeve because it now has a 40% discount. 

[beanflying]

A few lots of 'Copper' (I hope) 10mm metal braided sleeve  for the 3 phase VFD wires on my CNC that currently run single insulated past some sharp metal edges parallel to the stepper and control wiring for good measure.

Also a couple of emergency stop switches to fit around it in case it all goes horribly wrong.

Mew-sleeve discount is of dubious value  because when I bought mine the shipping (worldwide) was included. Now essentially the same price. Possibly better situation for aussie peeps but that does the rest of us no good.

I bought new snips. But not regular ones.
Don't you always try to strip wires with your snips? Me too, and I somehow fail miserably when I try.

I fixed that today. I bought 14 22 160.

I stand corrected Thanks. PEBKAC. when Dave sent out his discount I went through the checkout  but somehow fail-ded finger click on radio button coordination test. and didn't notice so took the total price listed (DHL option selected) as gospel.

A spanking new boxed 87v for under £220!

You will enjoy it buddy but I would recommend doing the 4 wire conversion on the leads. There are a couple videos on YouTube for how to do it. It's easy, even I managed to do it. If you need the links for the videos just post and I will find them for you.

[Terry01]

Got 1 of these too... handy for labelling all my boxes of "junk"(very important stuffs), depending who you ask... me or the Mrs!

[Terry01]

Handy as hell wee tool. I have the older cabled one too which is handy but the battery one is so much more usable!

Yet, another used Siemens beefy inductor, 2 bucks, as I can't bear the thought of the recycler going to salvage the copper inside, so here we go.

Measured details : DCR = 0.04 Ohm , inductance = 502uH@100Hz and 460uH@100KHz.

Yep, still don't have any idea what to do with it.

Buy another LCR meter to test against your current one then you 'need it'

Scissors!

These Engineer scissors are really cool. I have the same ones, they can cut quite a lot of things.

As previous post, the same visit to local recycler, grabbed 2 used step down transformers, 4.5 bucks. 

Smaller one -> primary 2x115V, secondary with 2 windings : [email protected] and [email protected]
Bigger one -> primary 2x115V, secondary with 3 windings : [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected]

What a weird secondary voltage windings at the big one that is made in USA.

... again, same seller  , 1.5 bucks a piece for used Vicor VI-BAMD-EM module, a power factor corrector and booster for pre DC to DC converter.

Yup, I got a new bank card so had to destroy the old one. They cut through it like a hot knife through butter. I'm well happy with them, I have the long nose pliers too. They are also well made and nice to use.

Another pair of Gore 3.5mm 26.5 GHz phaseflex cables.

Ooooooooooh, cable /connector porn!

Ooooooooooh, cable /connector porn!

Yep, and it is time to stop now, the collection is getting out of control.

Nice cables! What do you use them for? I haven't seen the connector on the ends of them before.
