Well, all I have to say is, "Breathe Easy....where have you been all my life?!?"


Spent about 3 hours in the shop this afternoon grinding micarta, steel, and ironwood, and nothing but clean air in my nostrils and lungs. Didn't even catch a whif of smell or anything. And when using some WD40....couldn't smell it a bit. And I don't have a heat rash on my forhead and I don't have a semi-permanent line across the bridge of my nose or around my cheeks from the respirator. The weight of the unit really was negligable, and I was very comfortable after using it for 3 hours. It's nice to have the automatic face sheild protection as well.

I may have looked like a dork, but I was a clean-air breathing dork with no black buggers. :D


On a side note, I also want to add, "Scotchbright belts....where have you been all my life?!?" I'm actually using the scotchbright-like belts from Klingspore in medium and very fine, and they are a pleasure to use and make an excellent even and clean machined finish.

I'll stop sharing now and hop in the shower. :)

Charlie, I'll point you back to THIS thread for the discussion. It's an expensive investment, but I've very happy to have it and was able to find a smokin' deal on ebay.

If you are referring to the belts...I got one of THESE from Tracy and like how it works so far.

Sounds great! I have fired mine up and tried it, but not in the shop as yet. The catch 22 of the whole thing for me is that it was so busy this year at work that I have the $$ to get one, but no longer have the time to use it.
