How about if I change the parameters to reduce the 6" main to a 4" flex to the downdraft table? Would I still be better off the cut a 1 1/2"(could do a 2 1/2" - only limiting factor is what size...
Hey all,
With the addition of a piped dust collection system I am planning to add a downdraft table for collecting fine dust while hand sanding. I would also like to pipe a hose to the port on the...
Alan,
Just got off the phone with Greensboro Pipe company - they tell me they have schedule 40 but no S&D - they normally source it from Charlotte Pipe in Charlotte and only order it when one of...
Called Agri Supply in Garner this morning and Bob assured me that they only carry schedule 40 PVC. Still waiting on Ferguson (the one on Durant Rd evidently carries it, even though other Ferguson...
Can't find it cheaper than $2.50/ft in central NC. John Deere Landscapes feigns no knowledge of 2729 and is pricing sch35 instead. For anyone in PA there's this place:...
If they get their parts from NC, I'd be interested to know who their supplier is and where they're located. I'd go pick up within a few hours of Raleigh/Durham to save shipping but would be...
I can't seem to find "cheap" PVC - best I found so far locally is $2.50 a linear foot at John Deere Landscaping. That's in Raleigh/Durham, NC and for SD35 (they feign no knowledge of 2729 - SD35 is...
Looking for an update to this - have you installed and used these fittings yet? Especially interested in pics of the relief cuts you mention. I agree that shipping might be prohibitive but the...
Rod,
My ~8" SP loss calculation already factored in the 4.5" for the separator. I think I just needed someone to jump in and tell me to man up and get the 3hp. It was my leaning anyway, just...
Title says it all
(but here's more)
I'm in a 16x24 shop and planning to run 6" PVC to stationary tools. Blast gates, only one tool in use at a time. Longest run is approx. 30' with minimal flex...
I like the idea of variable venting inside/outside, but being in NC, I could stand to do everything outside. I like the canister upgrade I have with the 2hp version - in case the venting outside is...
I'm looking to set up a ducted collection system (not rolling from tool to tool) in my 16x24 shop. I'm comparing a couple single stage collectors to which I will add a Thein-style separator and...
Bob,
I'm interested to hear how the new fixtures act in low temps. I'm the prototypical 4' shop-light guy with the buzzy fixtures that don't agree with winter work. Ironically enough, since I...
It's definitely a Nova Scotia picture - for 2 reasons. That's where Alexander Keith's beer is brewed
(reverential moment of silence for those of us transplants who can't get it any longer)

Todd,
I've got the K2000 kit as opposed to the production cutter, and I think Kreg is applying a thought process to your machine that really applies more to mine. In reading the Kreg literature,...
Chris,
If you go to the WWS site and add the saw of your choice, in your shopping cart it should apply a 10% "first time buyer" discount. If it doesn't show up, try cleaning out any old WWS cookies...
Talked to a couple of people at Grizzly yesterday and I feel a fair bit better. I did, of course, have to remove the entire table top for the fix - which means I had to disassemble the rails, wings...
Thanks for the encouragement folks. Upon reflection, I do feel a little better about the idea that any manufacturer can turn out a "lemon" (i.e. getting a Delta doesn't guarantee perfection out of...
So I finally pulled the trigger on a cabinet saw purchase. After much research, reading and wallet-searching I ordered the Griz 1023SLX. I have several other Grizzly tools and I've been very happy...
I emailed Henry Wang at Microjig and he said that, while there wasn't time to set up a bulk buy for the people at Sawmillcreek, he would honor the $14.95 shipped price for the splitter up to Feb 15. ...
Mark,
Here is a pic of a toybox I did a while back that is box-jointed together. The jig is fairly easy to make, it just takes some tweaking to keep the joints tight over a longer span. I got the...
Matt,
B&D is owned by Dewalt, and the batteries/chargers will intermix. I also have an older firestorm. The charger that came with the firestorm died approximately 366 days after purchase (as all...
Nathan,
I'm asking myself the same question these days. Searching the archives will turn up a load of opinions, and even some real information. Like you, I've looked at the cost of a high-horse...
There's a product that I've seen at Woodworker's Supply (I'm sure it's available elsewhere) called "Old Growth" that claims to add "100 years of age in a bottle". Ok, so it sounds like a dye/stain,...
