    Board game talk

    We try to get to tether with a couple of friends at least once a week. Mostly card games, but our Favorit is a Canadian card game called Wizard. It is a really fun trick based game. It can get a little cut throat.

    Thank you for this review. The gweike is still top of my list. Whether G2-30w or G2-MAX, will depend on the sales when I accumulate the funds. LOL One of my goals will be to cut through 1.6mm nickel silver and bronze. About 6mm X 50mm simple shapes. How long do you think it would take to cut...

    I use a rotary polisher, to polish my pen clips and rings. Stainless Steel shot, water, and a couple of drops of dawn. Polishes up my silver, bronze and nickel-silver quite well.

    What do you mean by an integral 5C collet chuck? My SM 10” has a 4C adapter to fit into the MT4 headstock spindle. I couldn’t find anything in a 5C.

    That is so cool @1018Machine . I have a Gweike G2Pro30W at the top of my purchase list. You’re the first one I’ve seen showing a 30w, actually, cutting out small components.
