Soap Keeps Safety-Glasses from Fogging
May 30, 2007
To prevent safety glasses from fogging, use a bar of soap like a crayon to rub soap on each lens. Polish the lenses with a cloth. No more fog. Eventually, the soap loses its effectiveness. Keep a bar of soap handy in the shop, in a plastic bag, so you can quickly recoat the lenses.

Grout float
The red foam on these grout floats grip well to wood, and the large handle keeps your hands safely away from bits and blades.
Shop Fox W1826
The thick, felted bag on this Shop Fox is a plus and a minus. On one hand, it makes the unit much less expensive than collectors with canister filters, and also lighter and easier to hang on the wall. Without a separate plastic bag to catch chips, however, they stay in the felt bag, and the shortish zipper on the bottom makes it tough to shake them out. Otherwise, the W1826 is an excellent value.
Rockler Dust Right 650 CFM
While all five of the smaller units will collect chips efficiently when deployed properly, the 3/4-hp Rockler was just a bit more powerful in our suction test.
