    Bandsaw dust extraction that actually works - 85% efficient!

    are you sure? it says it's crystal diamond. no idea what that it, but it sounds expensive. worse than that, the product won't use itself, how are you supposed to be willing to? (point 8) wonderful bit of translation there, thanks for sharing.

    Should a Micrometer jaws be open or closed during storage?

    what he said. when used they should be opened, the face cleaned with a lint free cloth then measurements taken. unless you are using them as a spanner, then it doesn't really matter. :)
