Well, it's been a great summer, the weather here in Halifax has been super but, it's the Labor Day weekend so fall is not far off. We have a very full ShortCuts column for you, a few quick notes on our recent travels and a definition on the various codes and grades of abrasives. We have some product recalls and some interesting tool news. As well, we have some great tools for you all to see in our Tool Test feature, take a look.
