    Is the cost of anything not going up?

    Thread Starter: Brian Elfert

    Router Bit won’t budge.

    Thread Starter: Connie Freitas

    How do I get this router bit out of here? Tug as might, it won’t come out. I tried some WD40 recently but it didn’t help at all. I’ve since read that I’m not supposed to use a lubricant of any kind. So, what do I do please?

    Now you have a new area to publish articles!

    If you want to publish an article, you can join our authors group, which gives you access to a forum which is open only to would-be authors at SawmillCreek. This is a staging area for new articles, where you can post a new article, and we'll review for publication. Once you're ready to publish it, we'll promote it on the front page of SawmillCreek!


    The process is simple:

    TIPS

    If your article is too long for a single post, don't fret ! Spread your article over multiple posts, and we'll merge them together into a single post when the article is ready to be published.

    Try posting pictures inline for visual interest.

    Choose a catchy, yet descriptive title!
