Al: I've been using this tool since Andre came up with it. Yes, it is always scary to use a large router blade at the speeds with which it spins. Yes, it is always wise to be sufficiently and necessarily anxious, but not driven to catatonia by power tools. With proper set up (a rolling stool, a stop wedge on the tail caster, and all the proper safety gear--glasses, ear protection, dust mask), it takes about 20 minutes to remove the entire block as a whole for dimensionality with little further handwork. I saw a technician many years ago demonstrate using a chain saw to do this at a regional meeting. In a conference suite. With students sitting within 5-10 feet, without safety gear available. Amusing only in that everyone left intact, if dazed and overcome with exhaust fumes. Paul In a message dated 5/24/2009 4:14:18 P.M.
