    Smile Hey There. Newbie from Canada

    My name is Dave and I live in East Oro, Ontario, Canada.
    I have been reading up on dust Collectors and overarm blade guards since I took off about 19 mm of my left thumb three weeks ago on my tablesaw.
    I joined your forum for the read of the generic 2hp dust collector to be able to see the diagrams and pics.
    I must say it is taking me a bit to get around the lingo, but I am fascinated by the wealth of info available here.
    I'm looking forward to learning much and broadening my horizons.

    Default Welcome

    Hi Dave, welcome to the forums. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Heaps of great info here and some special WIP's to drool over. Don't worry about our slang, it's not that we want to confuse you, just the way it is. If you want a translation just ask, we are just the same in your world. When I was in Alberta over Xmas I found a lot of language variations that I had to ask about and I'm not talking about french either.

    Cheers, from Oz. Ian

    PS. sorry to hear about the thumb, hope it's healing up OK. Check this out, not cheap but I find it an excellent safety device, the 4" dust port was what triggered my initial interest. Cheers, Ian

    And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better"
