Thanks for posting this.

I think your rant is justified on what I've read.

I'm awaiting the opposition reply.

I hope it is forthcoming...

I'm sure there is, George, but for me to find it..?

:confused:

Sorry about the large pics. I have not posted pics here yet, and they changed the format to enlargeable small ones over the...

I went with sandpaper up to P1200 before switching to the waterstones, but this past weekend I cut...

Hard maple is fickle, in my very limited experience.

Some planks will be ok if you skew it through the thickness planer, others will not obey...

I have had very little success with the...

I needed it for exactly that same purpose this last weekend, John..!

I have a contractor's saw, the 2000 Triton system, and I guess it all boils down to "even pressure" with cutting 2 X 3 mm...

I have a definitive answer.

No.

Triton makes a respirator that vents under a vizored helmet from behind your head, blowing the air forward over your face. This may be worth looking at, because of the full beard.

I have one, but...

Without hijacking the thread, my question is how to prevent the rust in the first place..?
