Table Saw dust collection questions

When shop expansion completed and I can finally have dust collection, I think I'll be satisfied for a long time just not having to crawl under that saw (and everything else) every week or so to clean out the dust. 15" planer rolls to the back of the shop and discharges out the barn ...

Where did you learn?

In school, I took the mechanical drawing, woodshop & metal shop classes. Pop was a general contractor and I worked for him in the summertime. Had to drop out of college when I was 20 and went to work for IBM.

Adhesives question

PVA actually sticks well to metal but - as you said - it could mess up the card. Not so much by a remainder if you have to take it off (probably wouldn't be able to do so) but by wetting the card in the first place. Offhand, I think of two things... 1.

(OT sorry) Virgin Media Tariff Oddity.

You don't need the freesat from sky card, the Sky card will do the free stuff even if you drop the monthly payments.
