Seems like the saw is wired 230v and you've got it plugged into a 120v receptacle. The first step would be to open up the motor to verify for which voltage it is actually wired. There should be a...

Very nice! Can you tell me the brand/model of your jointer's outfeed conveyor?

Alan, I am also in Tampa. I was informed that a detached garage, if it has heating and air conditioning, is combined with the square footage of the house and taxed accordingly. If the garage is just...

I have the Bosch ROS65VC and recommend it. You can put a 5" or 6" pad on it and it works equally well with either. The vibration control works well. The sander is stable for flat work but a little...

Good idea, I'll think about it.



Eventually it will be bolted to an outfeed table along with the Grizzly saw that sits at a right angle to this saw. For service and maintenance, I can use the...

Thanks for the suggestions, fellas. I got the saw wired up and running so I figured I would post an update on this thread. I used the starter and switch that I posted previously. I also wired in a...

I like this idea best. I had several cabinets in my old shop that utilized side-mount drawer slides and the sawdust gummed up several of them making them stick and difficult to open and close, and...

I've had a similar issue in the past and I was able to dampen the plywood on both sides, then clamp it with a twist in the opposite direction. I let it sit overnight with a fan blowing on it and the...

You could take the casters off and it would be maybe about 35-36" high.

I'm setting up a new shop. I have to run dust collection pipe, electric, and air to two different groups of tools in the middle of the shop. In my old shop I had secured the duct and conduit to a 2x2...

Looks like you figured out a good solution. The forklift and flatbed trucks should make it quick and easy. I helped move a friend's shop with a liftgate and it was slow and cumbersome.

We just...

I don't see a problem with it structurally. However, you will have to measure and account for the actual thickness of your material. If you were to put the bottom inside of the side, making the...

You're right about the door needing attention. I put a weatherstripped 1-3/4” solid core door on the bathroom and it does not block anywhere near the amount of sound I thought it would.

So, this...

This is how we do it. Alternatively, on occasion we have had to add a piece to the bottom of the shorter piece because it was less noticeable than ripping the taller piece.

Haha, without a doubt I overthought this one. While installing it I came to the realization that it was ridiculous and overkill. I overthink and am obsessive about everything I do.

Quick update. I got the duct sections fabricated and ready to be installed.

I think the noise of the airflow in the duct will be inconsequential because the noise of the air flowing into the tool pickups and through the dust collection ducts inside the shop will be louder...

Thanks for your thoughts on this, fellas. I'm going to fabricate the duct with rounded corners and no baffles.

To answer your question, Tom, the shop is standalone. I built the equipment room...

The duct with rounded corners and without baffles would be the most efficient at moving air with minimal turbulence and low velocity but is that the best in terms of sound reduction? (that's a legit...

Thanks for your thoughts on this, Jim.

Thanks for your input; I may use the duct board offcuts and secure them to the walls and ceiling of the closet around the duct inlet.

1-1/2" John Mansville Micro-Aire fiberglass duct board

The area that the duct passes through is dead space above the spray booth. The grill in the compressor room was located high to exhaust the excessive heat from the equipment in the room and the grill...

I already have the material. It's John Mansville but it is the Micro-Aire type not the Linacoustic. It seems they have similar sound absorption properties.
