    Yes I have had one for a couple of years, certainly didn"t pay that for it. (Too much Scottish blood) I bought it on Ebay for, I think $29.00. I use it almost daily. Today I finished hole sawing 1200, 25mm holes in some 40mm x 40mm x 4mm tubing (20 pieces 60 holes each.) I used the wan to clean up after each bar. I will try for a pic.

    wouldn't it have been easier to just go and buy 1200 thick washers?

    Default Wood magnet

    It's a shame no one has invented a wood magnet. Woodworking makes such a mess and leaves a fine layer of dust over everything, even a vacuum doesn't clean up properly.
