Diamond files are A MUST HAVE in my book. They don't load up with wood dust or glue residue like machine needle files and remove wood fast. Here are two sets to consider:

Diamond needle files are helping, but in my opinion they are much too rough for such a work I do in moment
Hallo Kurt and PT-2,
Yesterday I tried the new files on the CAF Le Coureur frames and I am fully happy with the two additional sets.
For such works the best result is with grid 0 - Hieb 0
Highly recommended and an investment for the modeling life....
Today I received a small parcel from the USA - sent by Kurt @Kkonrath
Some weeks ago I saw a small but very interesting tool, which is in this form only on sale in the States,
but unfortunately I did not find a retailer sending these also to Europe.
Many Many Thanks to Kurt, who bought these handheld drills with mushroom head for me and posted them to my address in Austria.
Many Thanks for the friendship and the help !!!
So the next tree-nailing will be a very easy job

I got one of those wood handled very inexpensive ones and it does not work well or take small bits. The more expensive black handled one works very well. Hope your experience is better than my own with the wood one. PT-2Today I received a small parcel from the USA - sent by Kurt @Kkonrath

Arrieved this handsome little box with 51 Kg. But the guys are too slow with the unboxing.
Can't wait for the reveal
From the form of the box and also the weight - I guess it is lathe...... lucky guy
Uwe Uwe, you are a smart guy. Your opinion as a well experienced tool-buyer ist very interesting.
sounds good - and is correct.....
but there is a difference between you and me!
I am buying
and
you are buying and using them ......
I am looking forward to see the content of the boy - and to see which one you bought
I am also thinking about it - I have an older lathe, but ...... maybe once for christmas
A good lathe is a good lathe is good lathe. I think the age is not the point.
I have a Unimat 3 but the size is a one and only limit for a lot of works.
Now she has to go. I will show the content later. The box is already closed.

I got also a parcel today - much smaller than Oliver´s one.
I ordered three special pliers for cutting nails (top-cutter and side-cutter) and round nose plier for forming wire
- my first impression is, that they are similar to the quality of f.e. Weller (highly recommended)
Producer is the german company SCHMITZ

Now that is cool. I am going to track one down. I was looking to small table saws but I think this will work well. How do you like it so far?
My daily needlefile-delivery arrieved.
Needlefiles are like Tv´s ! Only the other way. Every day of use it seems that they grow up. Time to downsize.

lol just like me hard working in a dept store something new comes in its like hey i can use that in my shop lol almost a daily what can i buy for my shop today
Do you know this situation also? Hope you have a 12 volt Ac supply for the Micro Mot Proxxon. Uses unregulated 12V Ac supply or the speed controller on the machine does not work. My 2 Cents worth of info. Recognize all those tools. This is also happens to me a lot.Yesterday I went out in order to buy only a drill bit with 1,8 mm......I needed nothing more (I thought)
At the end I had a bill of 130 Euro of things which I need off course
