The plug looks like a standard dryer 220v USA plug. The combination of L1-L2-L3 are only use for 3-phase power sources. These L1-L2-L3 are all A/C...

I also just noticed a severe lack of items on both Powermatic and Jet websites. On Jet, all the DC-650 and DC-1100 dust collectors are gone. On the...

Hi Jim. I was actually considering the G700 for a new dust collector in my system. It does have a lot of benefits, but also some cons. I guess it...

The standard Clearvue motor is a 3450 RPM motor. The motor has to run fast enough for the fan to push enough air over/through the motor for cooling....

Interesting. Those dimensions exactly match the Fantech LD8 duct silencer. See this page as reference: ...

I agree. Trying to move that sounds like a big hassle and pain in the butt. Plus, you have that big filter in the middle of everything as well.

It will be interesting to get your feedback on this K3 once you have it in place. This is the 80mm adjustable/stackable scoring blade you want for...

My understanding is that there are two types of scoring blades. The first type is a single blade which is a conical or tapered blade. This means...

Technically speaking, it is recommended to have 3-5 feet of straight pipe right on the entry to the dust collector. This is to reduce the turbulence...

I think it really depends on how strong your dust collector is. With 8" main, I would think you need at least a 15" impeller (but a 16" is likely...

A 5" duct will only carry 1.56 times the amount of CFM of a 4", so it is not recommended if you have a 2x4 wye branch. A 6" branch will carry 2.24...

Yeah, totally understood that these saws are likely made in the same Chinese factory. It's not necessarily "Harvey" that is making them, but the...

That may be true for there cabinet table saws as they do look exactly the same. However, I actually think their sliding table "panel saws" are...

I understand you don't have space to build a full sound closet. If your filter is closer to the wall, one thing you can do is build an acoustic...

I just received my EF5 kit with a Baldor 5HP 3-phase last Friday. The Baldor model number is CEM3613T. If you look at other motors, make sure you...

I've got a DOR sticker on my new Clearvue EF5 metal cyclone. It will definitely help once I get it up and running (still waiting on filters). I...

The only other potential saw here is the Maksiwa BMS.1600.IR. It's priced at $5k plus freight shipping. Based on specs, it appears to be a...

My comments are not from direct experience, but from reading a whole lot of threads/comments and experience with other different levels of machines....

Ah, no I had not read that. I assumed that I would just set the VFD parameter to reverse direction if I needed it, but the 2-wire swap is an easier...

Thanks guys. I did more research last night and kind of came to the same conclusion, but I wanted at least a couple people chiming in here. My...

A measurement of .0015 (which is under 2 thou) is so tiny it's not even worth mentioning, so I suspect you mean .015 (15 thou). I would assume that...

I've searched a lot of threads on this subject. I'm not the authority, but it seems that the Felder "official/unofficial" threshold on this...

It could be electrocoat galvanized. I'm not an expert in metal finish production. As far as the length goes, I looked at the Norfab website for...

I'm sure there are going to be a whole lot of people responding to this. Technically speaking, both the in-feed and out-feed tables on a jointer are...

If you are talking about home garage / home shops in the U.S., it is standard to have 230V single-phase run to the main power panel in homes (using...

I was thinking about this earlier and had to do some measurements. I believe the length of the branch has less to do with who manufactured it and...

A note on pages that say "free shipping" on tools such as these (i.e. drill press, belt sander, etc.). They are all usually anywhere from 60 lbs up...
