I did something very similar but also included an AC relay from radio shack to kill to birds with one stone so to speak.

I have a grizzly 2hp DC outside my shop and 60gal 2 hp compressor sitting...

I picked up 1" blue foam insulating panels to put on the ceiling joists in my shop. I'm going to first run furring strips perpendicular to the joists which run lengthwise to maintain an 3/4" airgap...

Jeff I can't comment on the Jet unit since I made my own from a squirrel cage out of a discarded hvac system. I ganged 4 air filters on the input side, total cost was less than $10.

But...

When I said CV (central vac) I meant a dust collection system, I always use the terms interchangeably.

No matter how good your CV/DC system is a small amount of dust will still get into the air. ...

I do have a CV system but dust still gets in the air!

Excellent suggestion Rob, I will do that - thank you!

Thanks for everyone's input!

I've been having a similar discussion on the shopfloortalk forum. And have decided to stay away from used units.

I've decided to go with three new window units:...

Thanks for everyone's input!

Well I finally recieved my parts from the Surplus Center to build my vac chuck. I also spoke with Tom Steyer and ordered the vac adapter for my 3520B which he said I should get by the end of next...

I want to make a couple of shop pencils out of acrylic.
The one that woodcraft offers is too fat, nearly a 1/4" lead thickness.

Where can I find a kit similar to the old drafting pencils I used...

I want to put central a/c in my shop and there are several used units for sale locally. I estimated that I would need a 3 ton unit for my 24x60 shop, 24x48 enclosed.

My question is how would...

Hey Scott - way to go! Very SWEET DEAL!!!:D

Brian,

I had some first hand and horrific experience with wood fungus alittle over two months ago.

I was prepping some wood on my tablesaw using my CV system. But the dust and spores still...

Scott, I had forwarded this site awhile back to Jackie asking if she would carry the "I'd Rather be..." license plate in the Saw Mill store and I would be her first customer. She said she would look...

Thank you very much Shiraz!

Hi Ken - I'm a newbie and haven't used either tool but have read all the threads here on both tools and there are many good comments.

I was just as confused by all the choices and just ordered...

Hi Bob,

I have the PSI chuck on my Rikon mini which I think is the "best bang for the buck" at only $170 you get alot of extra jaws with it also. I'm very happy with it!

Another beauty Steve - nicely done!

Congrats Jeff on your new Mustard, have fun and enjoy!

Thank you for the info, I made a stand alone buffer and need to drill and tap the aluminum extension but didn't know the tap size and depth I should go.

Congrats Ron on your new Mustard! You have a nice setup and lots of blanks ready to be turned!:D

I called Beall but they couldn't tell me the thread count on their 3" bowl buffs, also how long is the bolt? I was told they're 3/8" but nothing else.

Thanks!

Fred
