I've narrowed down my options to the below. I like the Fuji because the gun that comes with it has an option to narrow the width of the fan sprayed out of the tip while the Graco does not.

I like...

Thanks. I am looking for a "top of the line gun", but have no desire to spend extra money for bells and whistles I won't use.

I don't already have a compressor, which is another reason why the...

Yes. I started watching demo videos last night to bet a better idea of the practical applications of these systems. I saw how the Graco Air Assisted system is basically designed to use whole cans...

Two identical suggestions are hard to ignore...moving to the top of the list.

Quick question regarding the Graco air assisted systems, is there more maintenance? Are they harder to clean? ...

Hmm. Graco seems to advertise that its Air-Assisted sprayers are more productive, but that the HVLP sprayers might have a little more control. And I like the idea of limited blowback and overflow...

I'm looking to buy an HVLP System. I'd prefer to buy the best and learn on that, at least then I know the mistakes are my own doing instead of the machine's fault. I will primarily be spraying...

I like the idea of the self cleaning gates (better airflow and less clogging), but I don't have the clearance everywhere I'd like to put them. I think I may just hammer down the dimple that stops...

I've noticed that the 6" blast gates I purchased from Oneida leave a significant flap of metal restricting the airflow even when fully opened (not quite as much as in the included picture, but still...

The 10" stuff is rated at a maximum airflow of 2900 CFM, I don't think the idea is all that outrageous.
...

Yeah, for my main lines and drops I have all 24 gauge snaplock pipes and thicker joints from Oneida, none of those will collapse. I am only thinking about using the insulated flexible ducting to...

25ft of Flex roll is $90.
10 feet of 8" snaplock ($60) plus the three Elbow Joints ($50) I'd need to clear my doorway and exit through the wall.

I'm just trying to come up with a way to reduce...

I just bought a 5HP Oneida Dust Gorilla Cyclone with all the bells and whistles. I live in Southern California, and will be venting the exhaust directly outside (no filter) via 10 feet of pipe.

Hey everybody,

I have a relatively small, two car garage workshop running a DP, Lathe, Table Saw, Bandaw, and a lot of hand tools. I work with a lot of exotic woods, carbon fiber, epoxy, and...

Took a risk and went with a new Delta 18-900L. Home Depot is having a sale, list price only $799.

I realize there is a risk if I need parts or service, but I ran into bad reviews and warnings...

Or this listing? http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/tls/5119716680.html

I'm out of my depth here, but a cheap used machine, with precision above and beyond any new offerings would be amazing.

Does anyone recognize this model? Current rage level is pretty high at all new offerings in this area, so trying to wade my way through the used listings.
...

Plus, the Delta 18-900 is up over a $1000, at which point I'd probably just splurge and get the new $1400 Powermatic.

As of right now, I'm leaning towards the Grizzly 20" drill press. I'd sacrifice 1.25" of quill travel, but have a much better low-end speed for large forstner bits. 4 3/4" of quill travel would...

Shit. Just looked at a drill press recommended speed chart. A minimum speed of 550 negates a lot of options. It's hard to believe none of these manufacturers could make a drill press w/ 6" quill...

Man. Fantastic responses. Can't thank you all enough for the information. gonna try and respond to the questions most relevant to what my uses for the do is and see if that narrows the field at all....

Also, it seems as if only the Jet and Grizzly (of the models I've listed) include T-Slot Grooves that would allow the addition of a standard fence. This isn't necessarily a deal breaker as for most...

Hey everybody,

I need a little help figuring out which drill press to buy. I do hobby/semi pro work in my garage. I am looking to spend about $600-$800. I work with a lot of burl, exotic...

Thanks again for all the input. I've put off the decision for a while and kept an eye out for used saws on craigslist.

Recently, I saw this ad for a 12" Powermatic. It fits all my specs,...

Yeah, those Hammers are pretty nice. Looked into them today. I don't cut much in terms of sheet goods though, nor do I crosscut much except for a few end-grain cutting boards here or there. I'd...

I would love a slider, but they are super expensive and weigh so much I'd worry about ever moving them. I saw a craigslist ad for a bare bones Laguna tss for relatively cheap, but even the...
