I've been thinking of this as well because my bandsaws 3ph motor is too fast (probably 900rpm instead of 700rpm) and it's a direct drive saw. I have 3ph in my shop so I run it directly, I'd also like...

I've been thinking of this as well because my bandsaws 3ph motor is too fast (probably 900rpm instead of 700rpm) and it's a direct drive saw. I have 3ph in my shop so I run it directly, I'd also like...
I do think if I was going to make something that complex I'd make Matthias Wandels slot mortiser, or his pantorouter. Maybe I will do that, I just completed this octagon glue up using big splines, so...
I'm quite surprised at some of those revelations, the windings not being coated is by the far the biggest head scratcher. ???
I don't remember, perhaps it was 200mm or a little less.
The height of the blades where 100mm minus what's lost to being fitted in the grooves, perhaps the whole thing is 12-13cm tall and I might...
That one looks even simpler to build yeah, thanks for that.
I've been looking at loose tenon joinery but unwilling to buy a domino and having two routers already I'd rather go with what I have. I found this jig with free plans and I've already printed the...
Thanks, no idea of the amperage, but the impeller goes from 0 to full speed in less than a second so I assume this isn't a big deal for this motor and it should get easier. I have an amp meter but it...
The 8 gallon is just the separator portion itself, the collection bin will come underneath. I've thought of the possibility of it collapsing too, not sure if it will do that or not. If it does I can...
The separator itself will be a bucket in a top hat style, I've got the plans from Matthias wandels dust collector build to scale up. I have an 8 gallon bucket I am planning to use, it's one of those...
I missed this, but a thien style separator is what I am building, using a large bucket. I'd like to go over 6" for the main trunk, perhaps 7 or 8", but it's what's easiest to find.
Thanks, I'll update the thread when I have more to show for myself, it's basically just that for now, but it was maybe the hardest part too. Doing a lot of stuff at the moment, but I'll post updates...
I'm not quite sure how to test the CFM, I know how to test the suction using a DIY manometer, but CFM I am not sure about. I think it's also best to test it running through the actual ductwork.
...
I find most store bought dust collectors seem to be either expensive, or under powered, or too small an impeller, or both, and to boot often an ineffective impeller in aluminum with straight vanes.

If I where to build it with gaps, could I use glue anywhere? Like on the center of the bread board? I do plan to glue up the cross legs tightly, also read somewhere that glue in a joint helps keep...
Fixed house costs for us, we built our own house and moved in 2014, focus on everything being energy efficient:
-Electricity roughly €100 a month (this includes heating)
-Water & sewer €20 /...
I am building this of 2x8 construction lumber that I already have. It's all we got up here that's good for outdoors use. Arctic birch is our oak for furniture making, but it's worthless as outdoors...
My issue with lamination was mostly if it was good practice to use glue, even water resistant glue, in outdoor applications. I would prefer it though.
I started designing a table in sketchup today, it's supposed to be an outdoors table.

Cross leg design and a 45 degree trestle instead of one that goes straight...
When bearings get old and the fat has hardened, they spin really free and easy, much easier than a new bearing. This was how it was on a motor I bought, once I replaced the grease it turned more like...
Regarding balancing weights, I used strong rare earth magnets as balancing weights, they're really on there. My bandsaw still has vibration, I think the lower wheel but I haven't bothered doing...
One of the bigger problems in this field is the human function to anthropomorphize everything. It's becomes a serious issue in developing AI because likely, they won't think like us. Now here is the...
My idea was to cut them all at the same time to get them identical, and then finely enough that only modest surface sanding would be required rather than bulk removal in order to keep them identical.
What about taping the components together with double sided tape, then cutting them on the bandsaw? Assuming you have the required depth on the bandsaw.
I disagree that it defeats the purpose. It's obviously not as good a solution, but it's still a good one. I got my fence real close to the blade, not a zero clearance though, since I don't think...
I think a saw needs the following things:
-A riving knife that doesn't protrude above the blade or is encumbered with things like guards mounted on it
-A rip fence that is adjustable to a short...
