Re: Poll: The Next FWW Tool Test

Like Rambak, I too have subscribe from the first issue. I also agree with rambak's comments and others who lamented about Fine Woodworking's "me too" selection of tools to test. Why redo tests done by other magazines?

I like rbsrig's suggestion to test sharpening stones. It would be interesting to see a head to head test of Shapton, Norton, and DMT as well as others. Also, for purely parochial reasons, I will vote for testing air cleaners only because acquiring one is near the top of my next-to-purchase list.

I'll also add to rbsrig's list (although other mags have done dust collectors):

Wooden planes
Oscillating drum sanders
Clamps (although I vaguely recall tests done by another mag)
Wood conditioners/sealers (not a tool but worthwhile)
Abrasives (same reasoning as above)
Finish applicators: Brushes (foam, bristle), etc.
HVLP sprayers (another item on my purchase wish list)
