It is in my garage on the weekends. What size of a compressor should I get?

I haven't built one yet. I am hoping once I get in a groove we can start cranking through them. Lazy susan ID is great. Thank you. I am doing it from my garage on weekends. Really took it as my...

All.....I appreciate all the responses. I got a couple of photos so you can see what they want me to build. It is for a company I work for and I am going to do it on the side. These are shipped...

I should have stated I need to use 3" common nails for the build. The crates are heavy duty that have to hold a lot of weight. So the only plywood is the bottom pallet style base. The frame of...

I need to buy a framing nail gun. I am not familiar with them. I will be building crates for a company in my garage. After reading reviews, I am leaning towards the Metabo HPT 36V cordless forming...

Hello, did you ever figure out a way to do this? I sand 1x6 boards that are 6' long. I have wanted to buy a jet drum sander but heard this is an issue with pine. It would be a complete waste of...

I tried to reply with pictures but it did not go through. My CNC was built for me by a guy that does it as a side business. The software he used, therefore I use is Chilipeppr. I had to install the...

Hello all,
This forum is always my "go to" when I am looking for help. I am hoping someone is willing. I have a CNC machine that uses ChiliPeppr. I have not used the actual router on it before. ...

411757Well.........I have received my new laser this week. I got the Boss. Very excited. Just got it set up and ran a test file. Now I have to learn how to use it and what to do with it!!!! I am...

Also, for anyone looking at buying a machine from China soon, you might want to consider purchasing quick as they just implemented a 25% tariff on China goods. I am not sure how soon it will go in...

Sorry to be high maintenance, but could you supply a link to the one you recommend. You made me worried about the generic brands. Just want to make sure I get a good one!
THANKS!

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but does the chiller matter to what the machine is, or do they hook up to any machine? Per your advice I am looking at the chillers on ebay. They all say 80w...

I got the quote from Boss Laser. It is as follows:

L-1420 Gen V: $4,394

Comes with:
Laser CO (65W), Tube
Pump Air
CorelDraw Graphics Suite (2018)
Fan, Exhaust (4" 110v)
Tubing, Exhaust 4"

Sorry, I was traveling for a couple of days. I contacted Boss and their pass through doors are now side to side and front to back. So I guess that helps a lot! I just hate spending $5K for a...

Kev, sorry, but what is a GCC? I need it to be reliable as I am using it now every day, all day. Just because it is so slow and takes so long for one name. I am leaning towards the Boss just...

Is the "open bottom" like the CNC set up that just has it as an attachment? That is what I have now. It is just way too slow.

Dave, this is the type of setup I have right now. Although effective, it is EXTREMELY slow. To do a 2"x 14" name it takes a 2-3 hours. I would love to get that down to 15 minutes if possible!!!! ...

Shoot! I didn't think about that. On the photos, it appeared there were pass through doors going either way. So I assumed you could. So when you say it can be done, does that mean I need to have...

This is always my "go to" place when I need help. I really appreciate the advice from all of you!

I have been going through the threads trying to figure out what I need, but I haven’t figured it...

Thanks for the feedback. When you say thick, are you talking 2 inch or more like 4 inch?
My family lives in the UP of Michigan. We get huge maple all the time and people here just cut it up for...

Hello all,
My father and I are taking down some very large maples on our land. We found a portable sawmill that will cut these large ones into slabs. We have never cut slabs before. Is there...

Hello All,
I have decided to put an air filtering system in my garage. My garage is 20x18x9= 3,240 sq ft. I am looking at the WEN because of pricing. My question is, they have two models. The...

You know, I think the suggestion about not using rings is a great idea. I was just trying to copy what the picture was that was given to me. But why do all that extra work when you can use a...

Hello all,
I am making a walker for my niece's child that she saw on TV. It is a simple thing, except for I have no idea how to make a wooden ring! Any tips out there? Sorry so simple, I just...

All,
Thanks for the quick responses. I did not notice the photo with the grains running opposite. Luckily I was actually having my vertical pieces grain going vertical as well. But thanks for...
