DanG, I was too slow...  >:( >:( >:(
I was going to crank Deadheader for saying ,"a" verses, "an" engineer.   :D :D :D

I'll get you one day Deadheader.............. >:( >:( >:( >:(

Speadking of Deadheading, are you going to Deadhead when you move south?

I'll be gone this week camping so don't be hurt if I don't respond Deadheader.

Gmmills, Oooooo being right feels soooooooo goooooood :D

I don't get to do much engineering (especially stress analysis which I specialized in) anymore since I'm into manufacturing for myself.  Engineering is pretty much constrained to the FF for now so be WARE! ;)

I have a metric thread M20x2 with a T-handle for strengthen the blade by hand, no gauge or spring.
 Forgot to turn the last 2-3 routes while the blade is spinning  after I had put a new, sharp Monkey Blade on last week. Get wavy boards after I´d been sawing for 10 minutes or so and found what was wrong. ::)

Yes, why mess with anything that´s working?  ;D
Is it normal that a blade is WERY sharp and I can saw WERY fast the first 1-2 logs, then I can saw with "normal" feeding for 2-6 hours before I need a new blade?
I always want to saw fast............. ;)

 No Deadheading down south, Gilman. Fred is scared of the Caimans, so, I won't want to give him a coronary.  ;D ;D :D :D

  Hurry back, Gilman.  ;) ;) ;) :) :) :D :D :D
