Exhaust fan for CBN sharpening machine
The amount of air borne oily mist that is created from the Wood-mizer BMS250S is significant. The design of the machine’s case does less than a desirable job of keeping the mist enclosed. The only way to truly tame it is to create some negative pressure within its environment.

Rough spruce lumber
The term rough lumber generally refers to fully dimension lumber. Let’s use 2×4’s as an example. While this size lumber at the big box stores are measured at 1.5×3.5 inches, it’s generally called a “2×4”. Why? Well, there are historical reasons, but for now the simple answer is because when the board comes off the mill, it is 2 x 4 inches in size, after which it is planed on 4 sides and dried, thus reducing its dimensions. The lumber produced from this log is double rough, and I’ll explain why.
