A quick Google search turned up an article in Popular Science for the Norsaw 805 with a brief mention of its big brother, the 1203. Looks like its purpose is to be both a tablesaw and a CMS (by...

I'd go with the vent in the wall. If you're concerned with dust making its way back into the shop, you could put a filter over the vent as well.

If you need the grid in CAD format, creating a rectangular array is pretty simple.

Steve,

As far as I know, there is no way to 'convert' .xls to .dwg/.dxf with plain vanilla AutoCAD.

Depending on what you need I can either:

Greg, have you given the folks at Mr. Plywood or Crosscut Hardwoods a call? They'll probably have something that meets your needs.

I can't recommend anything better because I've had my 200 series Dremel for 8 years or so and haven't had any issues. I'd definitely send yours back for repair under warranty.

I've never built a guitar, but I wouldn't screw the neck onto the body. I would think about using a dovetail or other technique that would give you more support from inside the body.

You might consider looking into "fog juice" which is used in theatrical fog machines. It is typically either glycerin or glycol based. I'm no chemist, so I can't tell you what the differences are...

Congrats, Steve! I saw that on CL the other day but just couldn't find the space to cram it in my garage. I'm sure you'll have fun with it.

I can't find exactly what you're looking for but Mutual Screw carries a silicon bronze version. They also have a brass button head. A search on Amazon will net you a flat heads.

Can't seem to find much in the way of independent reviews on them.

I'm not an electrician but am familiar with the taps you're talking about. I've seen them (mis)used in a lot of car audio installs and a few other low voltage DC applications. I wouldn't recommend...
