Thanks for the info, everyone. I have some on order now and a list of other places to try if they don't work out well.
Rod, local guys haven't worked out for me. Closest I can get is 1 1/2 hours...

It seems that over the last 2-3 years the quality of the band saw blades I have been able to buy has decreased dramatically. I can't get more than a month out of a new blade and I used to get...

Phil,
Thanks for your reply to this. I will keep this information for future use. An electrician I ain't...

The switch came in today, and the vacuum works, so it was just the switch. $26 for...

Phil, no, don't know how to do that. I'll look into it.

Jim, it is $469 in the US. $759.00 on Amazon.ca - and our dollar is higher than the US right now. Go figure...

We've had our Fein Turbo III for just over 5 years and been very pleased with it. A couple weeks ago, it wouldn't turn on. The area around the switch on the board is black. We (eventually) found a...

Thanks for the information. Appreciate it.

I've read threads here on finishing cocobolo but haven't found anything yet that applies to this situation. I have made an exposed wood horn cap on a saddle tree of cocobolo on the request of a...

Sounds like good information I haven't read before. I can see the point in all of this except the mount no further than 4-6 inchs from the wall. Is that so the air then circulates around the room? ...

You sure learn things when you have one of those! Recommended for anyone who is concerned about dust.

Phil,
That really is the ideal way to go. But when we started working this morning it was -27C (about -15F) and our Clear Vue set up will totally replace the air in our shop in less than 3 minutes....

Not really. It will capture 97+% by weight, but not particle numbers, right off the bat. That means that, according to this graph on the Wynn site itself,...

We have wondered about such a thing as well, but the problem is keeping it air tight so you don't get dust sucked back up and into your filters. Perhaps a push through configuration would work...

I have the information on the MERV 16 Camfil Farr filters. They put their end point at an increase in resistance of 4 WG as opposed to 3 for the MERV 10 filters. It took 680 gms of dust to cause...

I've been reading the testing procedure more carefully and have found out some more interesting information. I'm looking at the chart on the Wynn site here...

The load is a specific testing procedure, using 30 gms of dust on their test filter. (I wonder if their test filter is a specific size of the material, or an actual filter. They don't say.) Then they...

The question I was trying to answer was how efficient these filters are right away, since our brand new filters were passing a lot of dust. Two weeks later, this is what I have found out:
...

I'm not trying to be argumentative. I understand what you are saying and agree. We vent outside whenever we can and this new system will make switching much easier, and we work outside whenever we...

The readings have been taken with the meter held right in the air stream from the filters. The reading in the rest of the shop was much lower at the time. It is coming from the filters.
Maybe I...

Alan, while filtering may be a lose-lose deal (and we agree), at -40 degrees, the biggest loss is heat and dollars to reheat. We own a Clear Vue, and at 1400+ CFM, it will totally replace the air in...

When using new canister filters (Wynn or Farr type), have people found they needed to be "seasoned" (ie. caked with dust) before they worked at the level they were supposed to? This page on the Wynn...

I'm hoping this isn't the case since we made a system where we can back flush the filters to clean them. If they take "seasoning" to work, then their spec sheet isn't accurate. The regional manager...

No one else has used these? I misread the specs on the sheet. It is supposed to be 99.99% of 0.5 microns. But that doesn't change what is happening here.

We have a Clear Vue cyclone that we have been using in our small business for about 3 years now.
We needed to replace filters and the old #125154-005 filters we had (comparable with the Wynn 9L300BL...

Rod has done a test piece of wood with multiple coats which was done over a week or two ago. He is working on the table. My question now - a pen dropped from 6" will dent the test pieces. A bang...

I have the Waterlox Original sealer and Satin finish. How many coats of the sealer should I put on before I start the satin?
