Post by: Washington on November 25, 2010, 01:20:07 AM: There is a drill press in one of the photo's that would shape the shoulders cant see why the bandsaw couldnt pre-shape the back

Post by: Talisman on November 25, 2010, 01:27:10 AM: Drill Press?

The bandsaw could, but I'm sure there was slight grooves in the back.

Post by: Six Sixes Cricket on November 25, 2010, 01:32:56 AM: Mike, does anyone else do this second drying spell to make there bats bigger? Says they can do it on there reserve bats with limited warranty.

Post by: Talisman on November 25, 2010, 01:35:26 AM: Lots do, but all others offer warranty, the trick of not offering one is it makes you think it must be drier, therefore bigger and better...
