bad attempt for humor- woodworking related
To my British Friends,
The discussions about terms used both here and in your country made me wonder about other differnces. Since you drive on the other side of the road from the US, does your left tilt table saws go the opposite direction of our left tilt saws? Perspiring minds want to know. Marc (and most of my future posts will be serious, I promise) |

Marc (and most of my future posts will be serious, I promise) Nope, but (due to coriolis effect), the blades on table saws do spin in the opposite direction south of the equator Ditto for all rotary tools: NEVER try a northen-hemisphere router bit in a southern-hemisphere router... It's ugly. Drilling? Foget it.... Cheers! Gary |

Similarly, Coriolis Effects can be mitigated by hanging upside down while working. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/ |

Now, you see: THAT is why I hang around here! If there's something I can't figure out on my own, somebody here is bound to have the answer. Cheers! Gary |
