<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Agreed, a few years ago I had shop legs made up of
2" pipe welded to a 4x12 or so 1/4" plate steel flange that bolts to the
bottom of the piano. In leg dollies the piano can be rolled around, with the
pipe on the floor the piano becomes absolutely rock solid and so much easier and
safer for belly work.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Will,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What has 3 eyes, and 19 fingers? Two old fa***
in a piano shop. I think we're both saying safety first. I've gotten very
serious about safety in the last 10 years or so and would love to see the
subject pursued on a thread. I hope I'm corrected on some of this and learn
something.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>More on the router in this inherently dangerous
procedure.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Router should be:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Variable speed ( I think this bit is limited to
about 12000 rpm )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2 handles</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>An additional safety feature depending on your
preference is a foot operated switch.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, on the subject of ear, eyes, and
lung.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This stuff is critical not just to protect
these three body parts but for overall quality and safety. Think about a guy
using a grinder with no eye protection, he closes his eyes and looks away
from the work and he grinds away. How do I know that? 8 years ago I had a
piece of wire off the wire wheel pulled out of my eye. Face shield for this
stuff, a good one. Safety promotes quality work because your environment
becomes controlled and you can see and focus on your work with out being
scared of what your doing. I was in the hospital a few months ago with a
respiratory infection that went into pneumonia that started to affect my
heart, all from working in someone else's shop for a few days with filthy
air and no mask. I can't fool around with this stuff anymore or I'm done.
I'm putting in a cyclone with .5 micron filters as per Terry F.
recommendation from ClearVue Cyclones. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You've got to have rules like:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Never leave a band saw running while you go do
something else, you don't hear it because the vacs on, you don't see the
blade because it's moving. Don't clear the pieces off the table till the
blade stops. I love power tools, I enjoy overcoming the potential danger by
learning how to safely use the tool. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With a lot of tools the most dangerous thing
the tool can do is kick back, knowing and understanding how that happens and
how to avoid it will greatly increase safety.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm done. For now.</FONT></DIV>
