My new shredder is awesome! It is quite quiet and does not over heat, unlike the old one. I can thoroughly recommend it (Bonsaii C-149 C) does 18 sheets at a time too!!If you enjoyed doing that i have got four huge boxes full of papers - going back to the 1950's - that need shredding.
Shame we are not moving your way, you could have borrowed it for a few weeks

...that my Steel(s) have arrived for the seam remover and the rack support struts.
So I had another go at it and what a difference!
The seam appears to have been removed and no damage done to self or tooling.
And here is the slug with the HSS tool steel at the exit end of the tube having been pulled all the way through.
So would a 35mm tube now just slip in there smooth as silk? Errrr.....Nope!
It is good to remember that all tubing sizes are "nominal" sizes and there can always be some variation.
Undaunted, I took a piece of 35mm Square tube of 2mm wall thickness and attacked it with the "nominal-size-adjuster" on all 4 sides progressively in rotation until with a metallic "pop" it began to slide in.
After several more goes and some "polishing" with emery cloth and a wire cup-brush I was able to shove it in both ends to a depth of 10-Inches. Most satisfying I am sure you will agree.
Here she is with both ends stuffed with 10" of adjusted metal tube. Yay! Success.
Taking the size of the inserts down by maybe 0.5mm overall on all 4 faces will just return the tube to the same thickness as the outer tube. I do not believe strength will be significantly compromised.
I am quite pleased to get the result I wanted.

I don't 'ave any debts but it doesn't stop folks from finding some way of needing to spend my money!
This month alone £640 for tyres, £159 for TV licence, £530 for car insurance, £110 boiler service and its only half way through the month.
I forgot, and £54 for the MOT
