This week's poll - all about mortises

I voted but I really like the plasma rifle option.

Sometimes, it’s the only tool that will do! :D

Where do I get a plasma rifle? I need me one of them!

-- Maplewood, MN

Do you prefer the red or blue plasma beam?

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

Red. More like my laser cannon.

-- Maplewood, MN

Do you need the laser cannon before you get the plasma rifle? I’d like to know cause I’m on a budget.

You guys have it all backwards.. the laser cannon is the industrial sized version of the phased plasma rifle. Shesh! ;-)

wow i wish i had a laser cannon!

You could just dump them both and go for a phaser. Those particle beams make a much better and
cleaner cut!

Sorry – I couldn’t resist putting a line in from the move the Terminator…

You guy’s are just slightly off bubble ;)

I didn’t know we could include our phasers here. But I generally leave mine on stun.

(You will have to excuse me I have been posting too long today).

Live long and prosper.

I have found that for pure “cutting” I prefer to use my homemade Lightsaber. I find that it does not burn or chipout.

And the only color I use is Blue.

Its actually green, but he’s color blind.

I’m old school… I like Flash Gordon Laser Gun….it makes a cool sound when it goes off and it sends sparks flying all over…ok maybe thats not such a good idea in a woodshop. I have had a hard time finding batteries for it lately.

-- Greg - Charles Town, WV

I have yet to cut any. This will change when I make a bed for the wife.

I have resisted the temptation to add a good plasma phase rifle to my tool collection.

I read an article written by a very reputable technician that stated that during periods of idle use, you run significant risk of reactor core leakage.

The article stated that a great many instances had been recorded of hobby woodworkers came home from their regualr 9 to 5, only to find an uncontained nuclear reaction taking place in the drawer of their tool chest.

If you use the ppr on a daily basis your risk is lessoned. It is when you leave it set for a day or two that problems can occur.

I did not want to take the risk…but then again I am a chicken.

Plasma GOOOOD! But leaves a chard area that has to be dealt with in finishing…Plasma rifle fixes plumber crack too!

It’s always refreshing to see a thread that doesn’t wander off topic.
