[sdiy] Cutting rotary encoder shafts??

[Oren Leavitt]

For the amount of effort it takes to wrangle an odd ball part into 
fitting what your doing, sometimes I think it would have been easier to 
just look a little harder and find the right part for the job - or 
revamp a design to accomodate what is available. I know, sometimes 
that's not an option, but most of time I have found the right part (or 
tool) for the job by just looking a little harder or rethinking a 
design, and saved myself a bucketload of elbow-grease and possibly a 
trip to the ER.

And when I enter the shop to confront the 'power tools'  - It's safety 
glasses, boots and chaps on, a training whip on one hand, and a chair in 
the other - Back! [crack-o-the-whip]  BACK!!!....Down beasts!! [crack] 
Sit! Yikes! [Jumping aside, Narrowly missing getting bit by that coiled 
up extension cord that sprung from behind]....

Have fun,
Oren
