Hello All, I began construction of my GRR this past weekend. I’ve decided to build my RoW using Bill Logan’s flexible roadbed system. I ordered 48 HDPE 2X4X8’s from EPS in IL which were delivered last Thursday. After running them thru my surface planer on Saturday, I began ripping the ¾” wide roadbed rails Sunday AM. (I’m using a 10” 30T Freud rip blade on my TS.) When sawn, HDPE generates static charged shavings which stick to EVERYTHING. I fab’d a hood so my dust collection system could keep the mess under control.
