Ugh, yeah, replace the power supply!

Hahahaha, I just KNEW you lot would say things like that. ;D

What was this? I see it's an oscillator with reverse, melted in a fire and destroyed by corrosion... my brother found it under a house. The crank still turns over freely, haha.

Neat stuff. ;D

One of the grinder guys at work keeps a grey 3m deburring wheel on one of the little surface grinders, but I don't know which it is. It's a bit like a really solid Scotch-Brite pad, and I really like the finish it leaves on steel. It's a bit too aggressive on aluminum.
