No problems after several years. > I've not tried to enclose the G0704, I've had sticks of poplar, white ash, cherry and mahogany up to slightly over 6 feet long clamped to its table as I'm machining stuff for furniture with it on quite a few occasions. I'd druther enclose the monitor and keyboard, or at least put up a transparent barrier to block the air hose back blast. One of those things that depends on finding a few round tuits. Right now I'm waiting for my back to quit complaining. The wife had bought some ancient kitchen chairs at yard sale prices ($5 copy) shortly after she moved into this house in '80, stuff like she was raised on as a child and quite likely over 100 yo by now. I knew the chair had a couple loose glue joints in its legs, but that was miles from my mind when I sat down in it to eat dinner Tuesday evening, but it felt softer than usual when I sat down, then before I could pick up my 155 lbs back up, the whole left leg frame squirted out and dropped me on the floor. It took a bit of finagling to get turned over onto my knees and get up as I could easily dislocate the left one. Left with a backache, not serious but a constant reminder of my age. Its all glued back together now but rocking about an eighth inch a/o 15 minutes ago. Used my Forstner bits to clean the old glue out of the sockets, slathered in some more glue, and pulled it all back together. I'll dress up a sander with some fresh paper and fix the rocking tomorrow after the cream colored Elmers is firmly cured. It will probably outlast Dee and I now.
