RH, I have been hobby milling for several years. I don't mill a lot. I do it on the cheap with an inexpensive small saw, Mccullogh 610 bought on ebay. I burned...
Although I am sure Terry can speak for himself, the way I read it is he burned up one 610 prior to using opti-2. He purchased a 2nd saw and started using...
