The table comes with a long T shaped Allen screw, with which you can lower/raise the bit from the top of the table. Instead, just reach under the table and adjust it from the knob on the router base and you should be perfectly fine. I used it like that for almost two years, the first time I decided to use the table top adjustment, the tiny snap ring came loose.

Also, I recommend a spare base so you can keep it attached to the table at all times. It’s a huge time saver. Bosch even has a dedicated SKU that doesn’t have the wooden globe handles and the plastic base plate. It was money well spent in my case.

Edit: Got it! Bosch RA1165, fits evs1617.

there isn’t! Costco pharmacy aisles were like a gladiator arena this afternoon . And every cart on the check out line had at least a bundle of bottled water. I felt like I was missing out on the public frenzy.

Ah, okay - got it.

Hmmmm. Actually, I think that the package that I ordered came with a plunge base in addition to the standard base. If so, any reason that I can't just leave the standard one on the table and just use the other out and about?

Ok here is my take on Corona virus. We’ll see how correct I am after this whole thing plays out, and we have more info.

1. Because random cases are popping up all over with no known contact with an ill person, I surmise that many people become infected but never get sick. They are contagious without signs of illness.

2. So far, it seems people with any prexisting illness, and older people, are more likely to get sick from this virus and also more likely to die.

3. Since this seems to be a novel virus, there is no herd immunity yet. Eventually this will occur, in the next few years. Disease manifestions in the next few years may be different (probably more severe) than they ultimately will be.

4. If a vaccine can be developed, this could help tremendously. Probably won’t occur on a meaningful timeline, but there’s a chance.

5. Being a respiratory virus, there’s a decent chance we’ll get a disease break when the weather warms up. Many respiratory viruses are more common in the winter because they replicate best at lower temperatures.

My takehome message right now is that anyone with chronic disease, including asthma or other chronic respiratory disease, should stay home to the extent possible, and avoid contacts with even seemingly healthy people. Obviously most people can’t do this but if a person is retired or works from home or whatever, I’d personally recommend hunkering down at home as much as is practical.

Feline coronavirus is nothing new. Most cats that are infected never exhibit signs of illness, or they exhibit a mild gastrointestinal illness. A small percentage go on to develop a chronic fatal systemic infection the clinical manifestations of which seem largely to relate to the interplay of the cats immune system with the virus. Ie the patients immune response is half of the problem.

But what do I know really? Just a veterinarian and not one who is particularly knowledgeable about epidemiology and virology.

No valid reason not to. I just liked the simplicity of the fixed base (not to mention I feel more in control with the spherical handles) and only use the plunge base when I need the plunge functionality.

Almost 100% of the time, I hollow out cavities with a large forstner bit on the drill press and then use the router to clean up, so plunge base rarely gets use.

I believe the proper term is “witch doctor”.

congratulations on 2nd place, at least it was a Podium for you.

We just spent 26 hours at Disneyland- quickie overnight trip. Figured we might as well get the coronavirus exposure over and done with, lol.

We had a great time, one of those trips where everything just went well, despite gnarly crowds.

Got out for a nice 3 hr ride this morning. Free form ride up into the mountains with some friends. JRA with 45 total minutes at 105+%. Beautiful day. Total was 30ish miles/3000ish feet climbing. Coffee afterward. Didn’t eat much before during or after (starting a little post-Disneyland caloric atonement).

Wife found a few little bottles at Whole Foods, which we will use on our upcoming trip to the UK. Otherwise we will make due with disinfecting skin wipes.

I forgot to push start. Could have been the fever.

One heck of a lot than I do, that's for sure.

Now, if you need someone to chip seal or overlay a road, call me.

Trsnrtr

Well, that makes two of us at possible ground zero. Eek!

We were looking to get a big big bottle with a pump top for our 8 year old’s schools class. Amazon seems to be out till March 28th

Your conjectures are all reasonable. The concern is that since it’s a novel virus with a fairly high attack rate, there is a good chance the initial outbreaks will be hard to contain. That may cause the public health people to initiate draconian measures like closing many places where people congregate. If it’s inevitable that this will eventually circulate everywhere that probably won’t work well and will cause mucho fear in the population as a whole. And even though mortality “only” 1-2%, 2% of a big outbreak is still a lot of people.

It’s way too early to make accurate predictions about what the final results will be.

I think I read that they took > 1,000,000 hygiene-related items offline because of price gouging.

Makes sense.

LAJ

Indeed. Always loved the name of that album, and it went pretty far out there, in comparison to their earlier stuff.

I read somewhere that often Vets have a fuller understanding of medical issues because they are trained to deal with many different animals.

WhyFi

I got the drill press unboxed, assembled and running. Oh yes - this one is going to be fun.

We actually do have very lots of big mucho time spent in vet school on infectious diseases in a variety of species, epidemiology, public health, zoonotic diseases, etc. We also actually also take a professional oath that an explicit part of our mandate is to maintain public health, and if there is ever a conflict between animal & human health, we are trained that humans come first.

As an underclassman in vet school, I was super interested in epidemiology and public health, and I seriously considered pursuing a masters or PhD in public health. I wasn’t quite sure what my career path would have looked like if I took that direction, and then I became even more interested in neurology. So I went down that path and never looked back...

I think I am slowly getting better. Earlier today my resting heart rate was in the 70s. It normally is in the 40's. It's back into the 50's so I am thinking my cytokine storm is winding down. I hope so. It's been quite unpleasant. It's not been severe but still quite the nuisance.

Goes well with whisky and a fever.

Oh my. I can imagine....

Whiskey makes for an excellent hand sanitizer in a pinch.
