It has taken slightly longer than I expected (9 1/2 weeks or so all told (sure there’s a movie reference in there somewhere ) but finally I have the machined router wing back in my hands. I’ve had a couple of operations performed on it, one quite high risk, so it will be interesting to [...]

From Microclene Australia comes what is widely touted as “The last dust mask you’ll ever own” – the Dust Bee Gone.
