Did you get any seat time this weekend plowing snow?
I was in Oshawa. There was about 5" of snow.
I think everyone in Toronto forgot how to drive. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif
With A little bit of practice and you should be able to sharpen your own drills. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

That's a great pictorial Ron! If anything, the bits that you sometimes buy new often don't have enough Lip Clearance. I find that time and again. If you want to make that shaving really curl up and outa there, you have to have the clearance. I'd rather lug down the drill motor than have to push and push, especially when using portables.

Hi Ron
My seat time last weekend was just shifting a few things around but nothing serious. Didn't get 5" like Oshawa - maybe 2-3" and our boared was in and out about 20 times on Saturday (an 18 year old with a car - go figure) so he had the snow packed down in the laneway by noon /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif.

I am sure there is more of the white stuff to come soon - just setting up the snowblower and fabricating some skid shoes for it - hope to finish that project this week so I'll be ready when the real blast hits.

I know what you mean about Toronto winter drivers as I commute there one day a week. At least the military wasn't need this time /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Cheers.
