Ah. Interesting. The RPM issue is going to bite me here. The machine is configured for one 6313 and one 6308. My searching suggest's it's going to be tough to get to a good speed in any kind of...
Ok. New question:
The jointer is currently set up with open bearings. There are zerks on the bearing housings to keep things lubed, and there are some worn out leather seals that are supposed to...
They sent me all the drawings. The one that matches what I have has a 2.5" diameter input shaft designed for an old-school flat belt sheave. I'm hoping to upgrade to modern v-belts, which would...
Howdy.
I'm working on replacing the clamshell head in my jointer with a spiral model. It's a belt driven jointer that's currently set up with an old rubber-coated-canvas flat belt. I figure I...
The answer is going to depend a lot on both how much air you use, and what your budget is. In my shop I run the air through a filter/dryer similar to the PneumaticPlus one you linked. That gets the...
OK. I've used VHB extensively in the past. Most of it is foam-based but I guess you're right - there are "solid" versions. The stuff is ungodly expensive though. I was kinda hoping there was a...
Out of curiosity, does anyone have a recommendation for tape for bonding phenolic to the aluminum extrusions if I decide to go that route? A lot of the stronger tapes I've worked with are foam-based...
It can be done pretty simply. For the quarter-sheet machine I have now I just use a 220V central vacuum motor. Works very well. That obviously isn't enough to power a full-sheet setup, but I'm...
Heh. I'm pretty much dying to use the vacuum. That's pretty much the only way I ever hold things down for the kind of work I do.
Ah. Interesting. Definitely not what I'm used to. Perhaps the answer here is to remove that table and replace with something I'm more familiar with. IE: A lower plenum with a sheet of...
Gary: Sorry. I'll take a pic next time I'm in the shop. I'm out of town for a couple of days. Stand by. In the meantime, here's a rough SolidWorks sketch of what I have. (I just modeled a small...
Howdy!
I'm in the process of refurbishing a Precix router table that I acquired for nearly nothing. The electronics / controls were all beyond salvaging so I just gutted everything from the...
Thanks, gents.
The intake angles are a bummer, but not as bad as it might appear from that angle. Here's another shot. It goes through one 90 and then a 45, then through the round-to-rectangle...
Well, after 2-3 months worth of full weekends on the project, I finally have a new dust collection system.
It cost a bloody fortune and about a pint of blood, but boy does it suck!
I found a CL...
Howdy!
I'm setting up my new shop, and as part of that I'm installing permanent ducting to my wood tools with a substantial DC system in a shed outside for noise reduction (return air system is...
The part's not that bad. $103. The problem is they don't stock it in the USA so unless I want to wait for the next container from Europe (not presently scheduled) I have to pay overseas shipping of...
Yeah. It's helpful, but there are no dimensions at all...
I bought a used 310m and it came without the dust collection hood. Getting one from them is an expensive proposition, and I've got a full sheetmetal shop in the garage. Anyone have one of these handy...
