[QUOTE="SneakyCuttlefish, post: 239463, member: 3340"] Some really great knowledge being spread around here. Thanks all. Mr Magoo has convinced me to try cutting with a BATT. I started out by listening to the sound to gauge when a facet is done but now I mostly eyeball each facet as I go. Measure twice, cut once kinda thing, so I guess the lack of sound won't be hard for me to adjust to. How do you clean the swarf off when using a diastick? I have found it very hard to wipe it of with a dry cloth. (especially if I have over-charged it) So normally I will dab a bit of shellite onto a paper towel and run it across a spinning lap. Takes it all straight off really easily. Just have to recharge more frequently. Is this OK to do or am I just making the job harder for my self? [/QUOTE]
