....to put a screen over the end of your shop vac hose if you're using it for dust control while cutting small pieces of MOP for inlays.

And if you don't, it might be a good idea to not let your shop vac get too full. Otherwise, if a piece got sucked in, and it was really full, you might not ever ever find the little piece that took so long to cut and can't be duplicated because it was going to turn out to be the best piece you'd ever cut. But if you'd had a screen on the hose in the first place, that wouldn't matter.

Just a thought....

Voice of experience?       Been down that road before.... many times actually. It is very frustrating.

Been there, done that! Still don't have the screen on yet.

Ah yes, I once tried to put a screen on the end of my pearl cutting suction
unit. I used CA glue and got BOTH of my thumbs, BOTH of my index
fingers, and BOTH of my middle fingers stuck to the little piece of screen.

Fortunately Sarah was around to help. And I still don't have a screen on
there either

My advice would be to make sure your partner is around if you plan on
trying it my way.

Been there too. I just use an old piece of a tee shirt held on by a rubber band.

Yup, Brock, voice of experience!

Roy, this is the second and last time. The screen went on today.

Serge, I'm always eager to share!

Mike,

I've been there, too. Like when I had spilled some CA and didn't know it. Stuck my hand down real good, and I didn't have any solvent. Judicious use of a razor blade worked pretty good, didn't lose TOO much skin!

Nylon Flyscreen and a rubber band for me.

Cheers

Pat, that doesn't sound like much fun. I'm glad I had some solvent at
least!

I use Leggs, very comfortable...Er.. you mean for the shop vac! Sorry!

   Finger nail polish remover will work in a pinch to remove CA!
