I can't imagine it in use even for £40.00

 

[paddy]

Its exactly what i was looking for but i cant justify even £40 really

I guess you can have your work piece clamped at an angle to get an angle whole in it on a drill press but I think there's other ways to skin that cat.

yea i was thinking 40 holes in a wheel rim with 5 different directions and angles for the spokes however its probably easier to just drill holes a little over size and angle the spoke that way........................its just not correct.

Looks decently made for $55 US.

MANY years ago right after I bought my mini table top mill, someone asked the stupid question of "What are you planning to do with it?".
My replay was: "It isn't what I am planning, it is what it ALLOWS ME TO PLAN." That has been the case so many times since then that I can't even count.
Hopefully the new machine will be more of the same. (once I learn how to program it)

So, is it something you would really use? Is it something that you would tend to reach for more often than not if it was sitting in reach. It is something that I find "tempting", but I HAVE a pretty beefy sine vice that I have had for over 20 years, it will do what your device would and I reach for it fairly often. The new fractal vice I got is sitting front and center on my work space and it is going to be getting a LOT of use as time goes on. I added shims to allow the head to "just barely move freely" and removed the cross bar in the knob. It was a good buy.

I understand BOTH sides of this! @moon puppy, it is why I knew some (seems you are one) would put away that DSPAIE cube and go find other ways instead. After paying $50, I took the time to see what I can do (@Heavens Eagle's approach) now that I own it and have been using it a bit more than I thought I would!

By the way, had a busy week but something to post tonight.

Anything that seem to good to be true, usually is not. Ali Express as a whole, seems rather nefarious to me.

 

[paddy]

Agree but my point was they were exactly the same product made by the same people but one was 10x the price of the other

 

[paddy]

I tend to agree with Paul, its not so much what you plan to do with a tool like this, its more about the possibilities it opens up in future. If you have a problem solving mind like me this is more ammo in your arsenal but you have to be realistic. As i mentioned above my point here was innocraftsman are getting this stuff made in China adding a massive mark up and nearly everything i have looked at on their website is easily found elsewhere at a fraction of the price. Their marketing is very clever because they are equating quality with price which we do in the west but in china thats just not the case so they are playing us.
