Good for you. I found mine had the spare battery for a reason. Even when off it drains the battery so i remove the battery and tape it to the device when not in use.
Edited to say...Mine is a Wixey brand so perhaps you won't have this problem.Last edited by wood-n-things; 05-27-2012, 10:39 AM."Still Montana Mike"

Have fun with your new toy. I have the Wixey and wonder if the the battery life in yours will be better. I also do what Mike does.Rolf

I have the I-Gaging Angle cube and its still on the original battery. I bought a digital angle finder for table saw use and had the same problems eating batteries. Also my digital calipers do the same. I guess its a game of chance when it comes to these inexpensive tools. I hope you have good luck with yours, I'm lost without mine.

So you zero it on the table then lean it against the blade to get the angle?Pacifism is great, as long as everyone is participating.

Reply to Cutting Stylesby millwabOnce whatever top coat is dry the contact paper goes directly on the image. The nice thing about it is it comes up without pulling on the picture and leaves no residue when it's pealed off....

Reply to Cutting Stylesby millwabIt depends on the source picture, but most of the time I spray something on top. Shellac or triple thick glaze usually regardless of whether I'm applying the contact paper or not.
BTW, I do cut puzzles along color lines too. Most of my Christmas card puzzles are cut that way (~60/year)...-
