G'day -

Does anyone have leads on where to find "4-section" heavy-duty drawer slides that have ample over-travel? The ones I've found so far have only 1" of over travel, and are what I'd call...

Ok! I'm still working on my crazy cabinet designs, but bookmarked Lockwood, Transtint and Veneersupplies. Lots to read there.

What is an easier base or brand to start with the dyes,...

Hello!

I'm going to try to grow a few skills in cabinet-making. These cabinets will get built up with curved corners from base material (ie. Baltic Birch ply), and skinned with veneer such as...

P.S. It all worked out great! There was a learning curve, and a bug dancing on it, so it ended up getting many coats of Epifanes 2-part polyurethane.

I'm leaning towards 220V SawStop and 110V dust collector.

From Bob - Woodcraft Sawstop dealer: "The order is still a week or so out, so you can make up your mind later. I sell equal numbers of...

Talked to a local vendor today:

"The blower will always spin at the same speed no matter the load applied (until we're over the HP of the motor and the breaker trips). As the static pressure...

Is it that as you remove the filter the motor naturally compensates with higher flow and thus higher RPMs at essentially the same torque?

I'm reading thru the Bill Pentz blog this morning, and...

Y'know... all my electrical load problems disappear if I'm able to change my Sawstop order from 3hp to 1.75. And after easily test cutting maple butcherblock on my buddies 1.75, the 3hp choice was...

Hmm, ok! Does seem odd…

I'll take a hard look at the breaker box, but it's looking full. And don't think I'll replace the breaker box without doing the prep work for generator backup. And that's...

Yes you did, and my thinking is indeed opposite. Less dynamic pressure = less motor torque = less current. Current is almost linearly proportional to torque (not speed), is that right?


...

I'm going to try and stick with the existing 30A single-phase breaker for both the 3hp SS and dust extractor. Today's static voltage measures 244VAC and it's a 10GA wiring run unless upgraded.

Anybody have a Bill Pentz Clearvue Cyclone? And a clampmeter? @Will Blick?

I'm hoping to get a measurement of the nominal current draw for that 5hp 220V single phase motor, without the torque...

@Will Blick: I'm sold on the outside vent. Thanks!!! Want to figure out a modest-current one that I can power without an electrical upgrade. Not sure where to turn for that yet.

@Andrew...

Hello, hello, hello and 1, 2, 3:



1. Dispel any notion that I'm anything other than a novice! I would like to up the skillset and make tip-top cabinets for the campervan... some foam-core...

@Will Blick : I do have time on the Shaper Origin. I hoped that it would provide me with adequate finger joints. Stay tuned, but thus far it has not by any stretch. I will be trying more...

BTW I ordered:
- 3hp PCS, to play it safe power-wise.
- INCRA fence. I already received the INCRA router lift and am using in in a temporary table.

Thanks all for the guidance.

Hello & I gotta say thanks for all this SMC forum input. Y'all have been great. Remember I'm not a real woodworker...

Question for all and @ Prashun Patel, @ Frank Pratt: Do you think this 1hp...

I'm a numbers guy, working as a solo mechanical design engineer, so maybe that's why I'm attracted to numerical scales, and attracted to the INCRA. I work both metric and inches with hardly any...

Howdy and thanks all!

@ ChrisA: I want to be your clone! And I actually linked to photos of yours in my post #1. Answer about Shaper Origin: I’m not convinced it’s great for a real...

Will do...(this picture?) Sawstop won't even bundle the PCS base with a right-side router table.

I am a hobbyist and have decided to get a router table with INCRA fence. Because I don’t have storage space in my garage for a separate table, I’m looking hard at the Sawstop PCS saw, replacing...

The saw is a Rockwell, per the manual linked on post #1. After putting on the Vega fence last year, I'm not in a big rush to send it to the dump. I'm not as offended by the 3/4hp as many of you,...

The motor shop quote to fix the old motor comes in at $200, so the question is to repair or replace with a larger, although heavier motor.

Old motor = 3/4hp @ 26#, frame 56C (although I don’t...

Something went wrong. I replaced the starter solenoid and thermal protection switch with new parts and now the motor won't start, even with a manual push. Took it in to the motor shop, and there the...

Hello, hello hello - and thanks for the replies!

Opened up the motor: no signs of trauma on the start capacitor, but my Fluke 87III can only measure up to 5uF. We can only assume that the...
