That wave you gave Dave was probably the most honest thing you did all day. I get why it still nags at you though. A Keurig plus 20 pods is real value, and turning it down can feel like slapping a gift away. But here is the thing: if you take it home and it sits in your closet, it is not really being saved, it is just being moved. The next person who actually wants a Keurig now has to go buy one instead of getting Dave's. You did Dave a favor too, because that machine stayed out front a bit longer for someone who needed it. Leaving stuff you will not use is not rude, it is the whole point of a free pile.

The 60 tooth swap making the fuzz disappear on the first cabinet matches what a buddy of mine ran into last fall. He was building a run of shop cabinets out of prefinished ply and got so fed up with chipping that he bought a blade made just for melamine and laminate. The thing has a triple chip grind and he swears the cut edges look like they came off a table saw with a fresh blade. Only catch is you have to slow your feed way down and let the blade do the work, because pushing it just burns the edges. He tried the tape trick first and it helped some, but nothing like having the right teeth on there. The other thing he told me is to keep that blade only for sheet goods, because one rip through a scrap of pressure treated and the tips are done.
