Oregon Cams is across the river in Vancouver, Washington. Having lived & worked in Portland, OR, and Vancouver, WA, many years ago, I just found that amusing.

I seem to remember something about surface hardness. I don't know either, just going on what i was told. The guy has been in business since dirt was made.

Story I heard was he moved to WA for tax reasons and/or because Portland filled up with weird liberal types who hate small business people. But yes, OR Cams is in Washington.
