OT - if you don't use it for 2 years you don't need it
Needed to shape the edge of some MDF the other day and so got out my B&D
router. Then I realised that the last time I can remember using it was 2003/2004. Well, I knew it would come in useful some day! Cheers Dave R -- Pan in Vista on second Vista PC. |

Well, I knew it would come in useful some day! When I realised I hadn't used my router for 3 years, I made a clamp-on bracket to fit it onto my lathe as a toolpost grinder... Used a bit more frequently since! Dave H. (the other one) |
