    Agreed. I sometimes use it to clean up a board after using the planer to get to thickness, but more for knocking a vcarve inlay flush or any time I can save time sanding later by starting with a...

    I don't know how a chart could tell you that. Wouldn't you need to know the CFM curve for your particular dust collector, and then calculate the resistance of the ducting.

    I do remember Bill...

    Steve, why not 6"?
    2 of the 4" ducts gives 8pi or about 25 sq inches. 1 6" duct, 3squared, 9pi and you're a little over 28 sq inches. No real loss if you have 6" already.

    I have the far less expensive powermax 2*25, and even though I only use it a few times a year, it's one of my favorite tools. Mine is on casters so I hung dust collection hose from a blast gate and...

    One more thing, because I looked up prices on a surfprep and airvantage, and I can't get one for $319. You said the electric is cheaper for hobby users.

    Here's a link to the energy.gov site...

    Actually, Mark, you spun it off. All I did was offer a place to check prices on the electrics when the links in the early posts didn't work for me. Oh, and I mentioned I thought electric sanders...

    I didn't cherry pick anything Mark, nor did I distort the numbers. I said 50 or 100 foot cords because those are sandard sizes for power cords and air hoses, and the parts being sanded can easily be...

    Hi Mark
    I never mentioned any electric sanders. I was only talking about the pneumatic versions.

    On the DC ones you're using, that's good information. I can definitely see some advantages to an...

    Carbon fiber swarf is electrically conductive. It probably won't cause issues if you aren't doing it a lot, or if your tool is very well sealed, but eventually you'll short something.
    Also, the...

    Found this thread a little while ago while searching for info on the airvantage pneumatic sanders. Electric isn't an option working with carbon fiber... Came back just to post that the best price I...

    Really nice work on that guitar. I can't offer you any advise except maybe to see if your local library can get you a copy of Trevor Gore's book on guitar design and building. I bought it as a...

    I have a 5hp oneida but ditched their filter for a cabinet I built with 570 square inches of Torit filters.

    I didn't put a static end on the end of the hose that goes into the cabinet, I just...

    Makes perfect sense Bruce. I've dropped enough bits from the drill press to see how that could be helpful.

    Gary, I'm going to assume you are implying the HSD spindle is a high speed spindle.

    So there are Shars ball bearing collet nuts on ebay that are less $ than the Techniks mini ER25 nuts. Is there something special about a ball bearing collet nut? If I should have 2 of these things,...

    I only ordered a Techniks 1/8" since Camaster is providing 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2.
    Going to have to make a bit/collet holder soon.

    Richard,
    The idea of rotating the collet to try and oppose the run-outs is fantastic advice. Thanks.

    Nicely organized Bruce.

    Richard, I got the diamond Burr left spirals for ablam or abalone, not for the fretboard or soundboard. They were only a few bucks each. What do you mean that the run-out...

    Hi Art,

    Thanks for the input. It's quite possible my concerns on losing steps are silly, but my son wants to be able to cut aluminum, and there seemed to be no harm in looking for a little extra...

    Just one participant?

    That must have been a small class, because statistics show:

    95% of men in the U.S. own a guitar
    96% of them want to make a guitar
    97% think they can make a better...

    I don't know when they're doing that training again and usually life is pretty hectic, but I'll look into it.
