G'day chaps (and ladies). The retail therapy continues. I went out today and bought 4 x 600mm Dawn 'QA' Clamps at $32.58 each but got 'em for less 20% discount. While I was there I had a look at some nice Abbott and Ashby 6" and 8" bench grinders and they had one with a PA Multitool thing attached to it. It had a round sanding wheel and a linishing belt. It was 350 bucks. I was going to get it but the guy said he had one of the attachments in stock. I had a look. Made in Oz. Fits any 6" or 8" grinder. Will fit my ancient heirloom Skil 8". Was ony 250 bucks so I bought it. He let me have it for $195. All up I saved $78 which almost paid for the 2 Triton dust buckets I bought at Bunnies for my cyclone building project.

Metabo BAS 317 Band Saw (and made a wooden base with lockable wheels for it.)
