I have a Grizzly dust collector (Model G0525 - 3 hp) that was built in 2003. I picked this one up as part of buying out some equipment from a small shop and haven't actually used it myself. I have...

I'm looking at ordering some sandpaper from Klingspor. Looking for advice on the best product to order.
My needs are for a paper that can remove existing finishes from pieces that have some...

It sounds like the blade you have is one with a tang that will be hidden in the handle. Like Terry mentioned, a mortise filled with epoxy will be the way to attach a handle to it. If you aren't set...

Thanks! I just received the gun and haven't even had a chance to hook it up yet. I'll give it a try as is and see how it does.

I don't have a turbine system - am planning to run the gun off my air compressor. Do I need larger than normal fittings for the quick connects all the way from the compressor to the gun?

Seems like I read something about needing larger connections in the air supply line when running an HVLP spray gun. What types of fittings are needed and where do I find them?

Good point on the carbon monoxide Alan and something more to consider.
I did a search using dumping heat as search terms and came up with a bunch of good info. Had tried searching before but it...

I currently have a 2hp Grizzly cyclone DC system in my shop but really don't like the noise. I've also recently acquired a 3 hp. model and am thinking about setting that unit up outside my shop and...

Make sure that the fixtures that you buy have a cold starting balast. I can't tell you the technical details of what that means, but living in Wisconsin means that I know that I need them!
For what...

Von, Those are the kind of stories that scare the heck out of me. What I can't seem to understand is why having a spray booth to control dust is different than just buying a couple of 12 oz. spray...

I am in the process of updating my shop to include an area for a spray booth. In a previous thread I was advised by many that I need to have an explosion proof fan and lighting if I plan to use...

I'm another with the same unit in my shop. About the same square footage as yours, and it does a great job through the Wisconsin winters. I set it to keep the shop only at about 50 degrees and have...

Thanks Gerry, that's pretty much what I was thinking. What confusses me is how a propane self venting heater would be much different. Propane burns also, right?

I now have a ceiling hung electric heater that keeps the shop at 50 degrees or so when I'm not in there and I supplement it with the wood burning stove. The air flow to the wood burner can be shut...

Thanks Faust. I guess I was hoping there might be an easy solution, but what you say makes sense.
If properly vented, what suggestions work well for a temporary heat source? I hope it is not...

I do have a window in the corner that I am setting aside to do my spraying and can use that to vent out of. Just worried about how much heat loss I will have by venting directly out the window. It...

I am looking for options for setting up a spray system in my shop. I live in a cold weather climate, so ventilation and heat is a big issue. Most of my projects would be reletively small, and I...

Two good options - both better than the hanger brackets I was looking at. Thanks!

What is the best way of attaching legs to a pedestal base for a table? I am making a square hollow pedestal, and need to attach the four legs to it without showing mounting hardware. Lee Valley has...

Thanks Jon, that Jasper jig looks like just the ticket for what I need to do and price isn't bad for all the uses I could find for it in the future.

Oopps, sorry, you're right, I'm cutting holes. The forstner bits are $27 at Lee Valley - pricy option for one project, but I'm sure would do a good job.

What is the best way to cut holes in a project? Do the adjustable circle cutters for a drill press really work? Seems like a flexible option that would allow cutting different sizes if they actually...

The fixtures I have are Commercial Electric ShopLights. The ballast inside is a Sunpark Model No. SL15. They are 4' 2 bulb lights, and what I liked about them when I bought them is that they have a...

These were supposed to be made for cold starting, although I do keep the shop heated to a minimum of about 50 in the winter - warmer when I'm out there.

Are there any good sources to order...

When I set up my shop a couple of years ago I went with T8 4' florescent lights for it. I bought the fixtures from the local Home Depot store. I have 14 fixtures in the shop, and within the first...
