ROTFLMAO You're so silly. You need to learn to think for yourself, like the rest of us do. Or, just stop trolling. You big silly, you.

Be kind JOAT... at least ask him nicely to think for himself. Say "please" or something. Some people do have feelings ya know...

Yes, unless its a "Vermont America" bit in which case removing the coating voids the warranty.

Reading this immediately following the post that said: : :I just slit it with my knife and peel it off.

kinda makes me cringe!!

Who are you kidding? A VA warranty doesn't extend past the cash register.

I was in Home Depot looking for a 5mm tap tonight. They didn't even have a VA tap. Now that's sad.

Fortunately for me, there's a Production Tool close enough to walk to ... which is precisely what I intend to do tomorrow afternoon.

Hmmm ... apparently you were serious. The stuff will peel off with just your fingernails ... no risk of harming either a $70 bit or a $5 one. It's just a type of wax. Or you really could just run the bit and, if it didn't fly off on its own, make a sample cut into a piece of wood. Wear eye protection whenever running the router and especially when using the above method for peeling off the protective wax.

Hmm. You mean something like, "Please don't be so stupid."? Or, "Please don't be such a dorky little troll."? I'll work on it - or something..

JOAT If it can't kill you, it ain't a sport.
