Recently finished construction, painting my 20'x24' shop. Raftered roof, 5/12 pitch, 8' walls. The roof has gable and soffit vents. It also has it's own 100 amp service. T-111 siding with foamboard on the center sections and OSB on the corners.
Hi all, I am doing some shop reorg this winter and my biggest dust problem seems to be the top of the tablesaw. I have looked around at guards like the brett, exaktor, excalibur, etc. Seems like too much to plonk for a guard, no matter how nice.
