Thanks for the replies. I know I'll have a lot of fun here.
To Vince with his missing part: I can relate. I don't know why when I use a mop sander on the drill press it grabs the little parts and flings them with malicious accuracy across the shop directly into the garbage can, full, of little offcuts.
I rigged up a pickup from my dust collector to hover over the saw table a while ago. I found out that if you don't keep a finger on the little parts as they cut free they go for a ride up the hose. Another lesson learned.
