    Another slitting saw arbor, add that to my list of projects.

    I have a horizontal bandsaw, but can still see uses for this.

    I would love to have such a bandsaw, but my tiny workshop just do not have any space for it. So, the slitting saw blade works well enough, mostly because it uses virtually no space. I will make a video of my tiny workshop somewhere in the future to share just how small it is and how many tools are crammed in there.

    When we moved, we designed the new house to fit us. One thing was a HEATED shop big enough to do stuff in. That turned out to be the easy part.

    I am lucky to live in a warmer climate (Pretoria in South Africa) and do not need heating. When we moved we bought a house in a security village (a small one with just seven houses). The house does have a double garage and I store most of my hand tools there, but the machines live in a small wooden shed that I built.

    I lived in Cape Town for a short time, I like it much better here (Krasnodar Krai, Russian Federation).

    It does get pretty warm here in summer, I just added a fan to my milling machine control box. But we also get snow in the winter. Overall, not bad.

    Great tip and first post with careful use the wrong item can be used to good effect.

    I have also used tungsten router bits on non ferrous metals for shamfer and rounding over.
    BTW I also make my arbours the same way.
