savethebeer Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 a; it's Chestnut. I cut Rocking Around The Christmas Tree today in about 2 hours. The wood was so easy to cut and the finish was good. This is 12mm and I had no problem with blade heating up and the only issue with breakout is the lower point on the star. b; Sanding Vibration. I have a cordless Dremel and I have a corded generic copy of the Dremel. The Dremel I keep beside the saw with a micro bit for when I've missed a place that requires a hole with the drill press. The other one I use with the attached extension thingy and I use this when sanding or anything else that needs a precise tool. I am in the process of building 4 large Swibboggen which is over 30 long pieces of BB, and also many other smaller once off projects, and they all required some work to deal with fuzzies on the back. I stacked all the pieces on my bench and went through them one after another, for well over an hour. After I stopped, I made some tea, and noticed a tingling/minute movement in my right index finger. This was only apparent when I lifted the cup, or touched anything. My finger vibrated for well over 40 minutes and it frightened me. There had been hardly any feeling of vibration whilst I was sanding, with the speed set at about a third. I changed the extension thingy to the Dremel and tried it but there was no difference at all in noise, or vibration. I will be very carefull in future and only do a piece or two at a time.

jollyred Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 You might try an anti vibration glove when using the Dremel. Nice cutting, by the way. Tom Be_O_Be and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 When I was working in a cabinet factory we had air powered vibrating sanders (1/4 sheet sanders). They did a great job but after a few hours using one your hand had pins and needles for awhile. Trying to grip your brew at smoko was a bit of a worry OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
