Thanks for the information, Chris. Did you convert scroll saw patterns to vector art for laser use, and, if so, was it hard to learn how to do?

I am seriously considering buying an Epilog Mini 18 to use for cutting Christmas ornaments from 3mm Baltic birch. Is 4o watts enough to do this efficiently or should I try to get a 60 watt Mini 24? I...

I cut some stryofoam insulation panels down and bent them and popped them into the spaces in my garage door. It seems to help keep the cold out.

I found this site and thought it might be helpful. You can search many different craigslists at once. It requires a little setup for your computer. I've tried it, and it works great.

I have a 2 hp blower that is mounted on a barrel with the impeller horizontal. I've noticed blowers at work very similar to mine that are mounted vertically. Seems like they work fine either way.

I got this idea from Wood magazine years ago. I drilled a hole in my drill press column and tapped it for an eyebolt. I attached a pulley and cord holding a section of pvc pipe filled with sand and...

I recently made some improvements to my router table that I thought some of you might like to see. I added hinges so the table top will tilt, and I made a box for dust collection. I put...

I also have the V3000 Recession Buster package. The galvanized reducer goes inside the inlet on the cyclone. I don't think it will ever fit on the outside unless you cut the reducer. Mine went in...

If you use a heat gun to heat around the outside of the 6" pipe you can stretch the pipe enough to slide it over the outside of the cyclone inlet. Heat the pipe outdoors and try not to breathe the...

After conducting much research, I'm not worried about PVC pipe static causing an explosion or fire. The risk seems miniscule. I did have one thought: I wish someone would write a book on using PVC...

John, I have my blower sitting on top of a small barrel wth the exhaust ducted out the window. Because I have the blower hooked up to my scroll saws there isn't much dust. The dust does blow out of...

I've sucked up a lot of chips and sawdust with my V3000 and have found only a very, very thin layer of fine dust in the pan under the filter. I think the cyclone does a great job. The suction is...

First, I want to thank all of you who responded to my question. I decided to make a muffler using a 35 gal. plastic trashcan. I drilled 1 3/8" holes around the perimeter of the can about 2" from the...

Hi Jim,
I'm actually using the blower from my old dust collector. I'm using my V3000 with the filter that came with it. I looked at the muffler on Bill's site. I may got that route. Thanks...

I recently got my Oneida V3000 up and running. I'm using my old 2 hp blower to suck dust from my scroll saws. I've run the exhaust pipe outside and am trying to come up with the least expensive way...

Dan, you won't regret it. I thought it cost all the money in the world when I bought my FS35
over fifteen years ago, but I love it, and looking back the price seems very reasonable. You have to...

Thanks, guys. The cyclone is supposed to be here Thursday.

After much research and asking a lot of questions I've finally ordered an Oneida V3000. The Recession Buster package they're offering comes with a HEPA filter that seemed too small. I talked to the...

I'm getting ready to order an Oneida V3000 cyclone dust collector. I appreciate the input you have given regarding the package deal Oneida is offering. The package includes a HEPA filter in the...

Hi Steve,
I have a Minimax FS35 from the 1990s and have been very happy with it. I don't know if the Tersa cutterhead was an option. Mine had three regular knives. I bought the holders and...

I've been dreaming of having a cyclone dust collector for a long time and have done quite a bit of shopping around. I don't have the money for the cyclone and all the ductwork right now. Oneida has...

I kind of figured out how to change my line weight to hairline, but my pattern is not good enough quality. I need to work on learning how to redo my patterns so I can get a good scan. Thanks for your...

Hi Mike,

I've been trying to do some of the things you all suggested, but I'm not having any luck because I don't know what I'm doing. I can't even get the file the right size so I can post it. Thanks for...
