Thread: Bugger

FINSISHEd the reindeers - all four of them...blood everywhere - mostly from my leaking damn finger....oh well it wa s a quick 90 bucks. pays about a third of the emergency trip to the sawbones...

Will all those blokes above who talk about no safety guards, and how hard it is to rip really fine stock, please go and buy a pair of Grr-rippers before we are reading a thread about your own fingies in the bin??

Thanks.

I hope it wasn't a finger on yer toilet paper holding hand.
Real hard to learn to use the other one

I don't own one (yet) but the people who do reckon that they are the best thing for ripping thin strips.

Maybe you can convince your missus that you need to upgrade to a TS because they are safer.

Sorry about your finger.

Better check out a gripper :confused: seeing how i've buggered my existing gripper..
Thanks for the sympaty

Had surgery on my right elbow 3 weeks ago so had to learn the left hand scrape. rIGHT ELbow is feeling ok now so can swap back ....

Looks like Felder's made hisself 130 bucks. Jap Saws here I come...

Sorry that should be Grr-ripper.

Thanx for that!
Can they be bought in Oz?

Yes they can. However, who sells them escapes me at the moment.

Try doing a search or having a look on Dean's website.

Failing that, I'm sure another member will post the URL.
