Congrats Jim on the permit.
I was hanging DC duct last week. Realized yesterday that I made a mistake and not have to rearrange two branches. Moral of the story, check your design document.

Finished dust collection closet by installing LED strip lighting on the two long walls mounted to flat boards at 45 degrees as "crown" molding. Spent time on the motor starter wiring to get the run...

Felder called Friday and left a message. They called again today. Not a lot of technical help and everything I might want has to come from Austria or has to be fab'd in Austria.

Rep indicated...

Finished the DC closet and installed lights. Need to wire up the MS, etc. Waiting for the piping.

PM sent.

Here are more characters to meet the limit.

Ordered DC duct. Continued work on the closet. Worked on a few small pieces in prep for building a high vise.

Never saw a machinist detension a bandsaw blade during my career in equipment development in private industry, either. Just a habit I have gotten into for woodworking.

Ditto what Don said.

Faithfully de-tension after each use, Mike. the encouragement and the insight is appreciated.

I use 1" glass sample bottles for my light houses. I cut them to length with a 10" HF wet saw using a diamond blade then square the ends with 220 sanding papers. The saw and blade are left overs...

It takes a lot of sweeping compound to clean up joint compound dust.

Focused on the DC closet all week. Finished the exterior this evening except for final mudding.

I'm behind in updating this thread. I installed the urethane tires using a jig (video) from the supplier. The jig made it easy. Basically to 1/2" dowels one is the axis for the wheel and the other...

Where's the Hammer/Felder Service Department for the NE? I've called several times. Emailed multiple times. Even had the sales rep contact me for intervention but no response for Support or...

Planning on installing one of those on the house garage as soon as I can get the shaft above the door. Replacing a Wayne Dalton system which doesn't not work well with summer temperatures.

And the Flamenco dancers at the Columbia. Planning another visit in October.

Turned several green cherry bowls. Road trip to retrieve a flammable storage cabinet purchased to store tractor and generator fuel and got it set up. Purchased some materials for the DC closet...

Thank you Ted.

Update 3/24
Yesterday, I spent a couple of hours cleaning glue from the wheels. Scrapping with a razor blade was slow. I found that soaking a rag in acetone and just rubbing the wheel was more...

Mark,
Very interesting.
Thanks

Finally, assembled the frame and stood up the DC onto the frame. Now to surround with noise suppression, add electrical, and ducting. Needing that tax return. Also visited the Savannah River...

@Rod, will do. Need to make, borrow, or buy a tensionometer. Trying to put all my energy and resources into dust collection right now.
@Tom, not clear what you mean by this, "Curious to see how...

Thank you for all of the thoughts. For those asking/pondering, I've always bought tires from Felder/Hammer in Delaware. These have always been rubber tires. I have not added heat prior to...

I've had a Hammer N4400 for a few years. Each year it seems I have to replace the tires. I threw the tire off the lower wheel today after running the saw for a couple of hours prepping bowl blanks....

Either Doug Thompson or Oneway has a video covering exactly what David described -- in case you are a visual learner.
