I have been hanging around a lot there lately.
I'm thinking the cabinet making package is the way to go.

Oh COOL! Pink mist re-defined. Funny, albeit slightly disturbing
visual.

I need another Fein anyway. So that may be a way to go for now.

How long did it take from the point of ordering your Bot until you
took delivery?

I just had a flsh back. In 1986, I was doing a job, building a house.
The client had already moved in, and had brought a cat.
It was the middle of winter, and the cat crawled under the hood of my
Dakota looking for a bit of residual warmth.

I don't check for cats prior to start-up.

A bit of chunky-dy-clunk later, a totally indignant cat, half a tail
and a complete ear missing, looked me straight in the eyes with a very
indignant look.

I offered to pay for the vet bill, but the lady of the house let me
off the hook.

Funny, for some reason, that cat never came close to either me or my
truck ever again.

I absolutely oppose cruelty to animals, but I'm sorry if I chuckle at
this memory at times..it's the look on that cat's face that just
breaks me up.

That cat encountered a rendezvous with a snow-plow later that winter,
it probably couldn't tell from which direction it was approaching. It
lived through that too.

I'm sorry..but I insist, I do not condone senseless pain to
animals....but why am I laughing?

the big pumps are noisy but far cheaper on ebay. one guy on the
shopbot list is selling a 17hp quite unit for 1200 if I only had the
money.
right now I use two feins they work for the most part and are
quiet.
