Conversation at Rockler today
Posted: Fri Feb 24, 2017 9:10 pm
I was at a different area in state for work today and got to stop by Rockler on the way home. I bought a very large Forstner bit.
The salesman said, "What are you driving that bit with?"
I said, "Oh, my lathe. I'll be working on a coffee-mug turning kit."
He went on to describe a new expensive computerized drill press he had just bought, how quiet it was, and how much he enjoyed it.
"Is that the Nova drill-press with the DVR motor," I said?
"Yes, it's great. It even has a lookup chart for drill bits, considering Forstner, Brad Point, soft wood, hard wood...."
I said, "Yeah, I've got all that on my Shopsmith DVR Power Pro. I've had it since 2010."
