How to remove the coating from a new router bit?
What's the safest, most efficient way to remove that thick rubbery coating from a Whiteside router bit? I figure it's there to protect the bit from damage during shipping but when it arrives, there's no note that says how to get it off so you can use the bit. |

Does everyone else see that his question is repeated as an answer, or is it just me? If its not me, what causes that? If it is me, what causes that? Anyhow, if it doesn't come off easily, I score it with a box cutter. Once you get a little going, everything else follows. |

Yeah, and all those sealed plastic bags, how do you get them open also? LOL Pee it off. |

"J T" wrote in message ... Sun, Oct 29, 2006, 10:18pm (EST-3) doth burble: Hey, your mommy can cut it off with her tongue, I bet. Or just drool on it and let the acid work. Whoever raised you certainly didn't teach you to hide your feminine cattiness. Who's sadder, a person who never owned a router before and has to ask basic questions or a guy who's so insanely hypercritical, he can't handle a question without working his own insecurities out in front of God, the world and everybody? Keep it up, mommy will spank you. Again. ROTFLMAO You're so silly. You need to learn to think for yourself, like the rest of us do. Or, just stop trolling. You big silly, you. ************************************************** *** Be kind JOAT... at least ask him nicely to think for himself. Say "please" or something. Some people do have feelings ya know... -- -Mike- |

I was in Home Depot looking for a 5mm tap tonight. They didn't even have a VA tap. Now that's sad. Fortunately for me, there's a Production Tool close enough to walk to ... which is precisely what I intend to do tomorrow afternoon. Bill |
