Here's mine. Waiting on the right blade...

It very well could be Martin. I think it was worth the gamble though.

I'd ordered a gauge to mount in the door at about the same height as the sensor that the thermostat uses for the heating element so I had an idea of how warm it was inside. For years I'd hang a probe inside but I decided I wanted something permanent so I ordered this. It doesn't have to be super accurate as I'm not building the Space Shuttle here.

Anyway this is what I WAS going to install.

However it arrived with the probe shaft bent.

Attachment 261325

I heated some water in the microwave and sure as hell, it doesn't work. The base of the pointer hits on the inside of the dial.

Amazon is sending a replacement and I've got the damaged gauge ready to be picked up by the USPS tomorrow.

Damn I was really looking forward to installing that gauge today.

Oh Well, another day.

I used a cheap dial candy thermometer for many years with great results.
It pooped in the middle of a brisket job and I ran to the grocer and found none......
Off to Academy and spent a lot for something like that.
Works well. As good as my old cheap one did for a decade or more!

I'd done the same on the smoker I'd made out of an old '50's refrigerator (used a cheapo in a hole in the smoker). I figured since I'm upgrading this one I that I'd bite the bullet and install one meant for the purpose.

The slow boat from the Far East finally made port in Orangeville.

Full set of carbides in miniature scale for the Taig.
Now I can start to take the old Waltham apart and rebuild the balance staff.

That is the size on those, Mike?

The ones with the replacement tips as follows;
No. Model Shank Diameter (mm) Overal Length (mm) Insert
1 MGEHR1010-2 10 100 MGMN200
2 SER1010H11 10 100 11 ER
3 SCLCR1010H06 10 100 CCMT060204
4 SDJCR1010H07 10 100 DCMT070204
5 SDNCN1010H07 10 100 DCMT070204
6 S10K-SCLCR06 10 125 CCMT060204
7 SNR0010K11 10. 125. 11 IR

The red ones are 8 mm shafts, fixed carbide bits..
Figure the red will be great on acrylics and bog wood, the black ones on metals.
