Had an Idea

02-19-2012, 08:27 PM

and it worked!
I attached the blower tube to the rocker arm and it's always in the right spot and out of the way. It works good even at the slowest saw speed cutting metal with heavy dust and chips.

Sometimes the simplest solutions are best but hard to think of.

I'm going to try the same tomorrow. I hate moving it all the time as I change holes.

Hey Rob - looks like someone stirred up your grey matter whilst you were interned.
Neat idea!

Neat idea. I have to see if I can do that with the Delta. The Hawk doesn't seem to have a problem staying in place.

I did a few birds years ago and Denny got me going on them again.
I will miss her patterns, but I have her Christmas ornament book to start on.
I posted these a couple of months ago, but here they are again as a tribute to a great artist.

Oh, so sad. I made many of her patterns, especially the Miniature Birdhouse Ornaments. Here is her Dogwood Box
