27 OCT 07 - More Edge Finishing, Deburring, and Dimpling - 2 Hours

The first thing I did today was change out my bandsaw blade. I had been using the stock 8TPI blade to cut aluminum and it worked reasonably well, but I bought a bi-metal blade with 14TPI to replace it. I got everything adjusted and made some test cuts. Seems to cut somewhat better than the stock blade.

Changing Bandsaw Blade
Stock blade is still in the housing, new bi-metal blade is on the table.

Deburring VS Parts Deburring. I bought a cordless screwdriver so now I won't have to use the heavy drill for this.

Dimpling VS Parts
Dimpling one of the VS ribs. The pneumatic squeezer makes quick work of every task it is designed for.
