Thanks all for your comments and suggestions. I've been reminded that there is often more than one "right way" to do things. In my case, I've decided to remove all that excess grease and clean the...
Maybe I'm showing my age, but I remember when grease was grease. You'd walk into an auto parts store and tell them you need a small tub of grease, and they'd grab one from the stock shelves and that...
Thanks for all the good advice, everyone. I think a little more background might make my situation more clear.
I live in the part of Little Rock, AR that was devastated by an EF3/4 tornado on...
I recently acquired several nice Post Oak logs that I need to break down to workable lengths and seal. I've read articles that suggest cutting to a length equal to the diameter + 2-4 inches, and...
Just as a note to the curious, I took delivery today on a new-in-box 3M TR-300-LIK (the "Light Industry Kit") PAPR system. I snagged it on eBay for $800 with free shipping! it's just as advertised --...
Thanks guys for all the ideas and comments. For the short term I've put a 2x10 between the legs and I'll pick up some sand bags tomorrow. In the longer run, I want to build a box to contain the sand...
Different sizes work for different situations. What you need is dependent on what you turn. The buffing "wheels" work best for the outside of bowls and other vessels. The round buffs work well inside...
That sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately, my lathe is too far from the wall. Still, a great idea.

I own several Thompson tools, including a 5/8 V bowl gouge, 1/2" V bowl Gouge, and a 3/8" V bowl gouge. The 5/8" V is my go-to tool. I've got a few good-quality M2 Steel tools, and the more I use...
I'm working with some less-than-balanced blanks and need to add some weight to my PM3520B. Before I spend too much design time on a ballast box ("recreating the wheel") I'd like to see what some...
And right after typing that last message I tried it again and got the redirect error again. I noticed that the URL it's erroring on is "http://sawmillcreek.org/..." instead of...
I've done battle with this issue as well. I finally cleared site cookies by logging off, then cleared my browser cache and cookies for good measure. After that, everything behaves as expected.

Anything on a Robust! (The lights are pretty, but the real beauty is the Robust!)

Well, this is halfway embarrassing and the whole way annoying. After all this, the Axminster APF-10 Evolution is off-the-table.
After reading all the fine print in the quote, I had a couple of...
Did he buy it from Axminster in the UK, or did he find it somewhere else?
D.
FWIW, the Axminster has hearing protection available, too.

However, the quoted price of the Axminster APF-10 includes extra supplies. The APF-10 alone (including shipping from the UK) is $300.74.
D.
Both have definite pros and cons.
The Axminster is substantially less than the Trend. Both units consume filters--have you priced a set of Trend filters? And Axminster does have a shield overlay....
The shipping is definitely not a bargain, but when you consider that it's shipping via air from the UK, it's not outrageous. I've done enough international shipping that I didn't flinch. If you look...
I received a quote from Axminster overnight. My quote request included:
1 AFP-10 Evolution Powered Respirator
1 Spares Pack (one pair of filter cartridges, ten prefilter pads, 10 peel-off visor...
The JSP/Axminster unit comes with an international power supply with interchangeable plugs. Just snap off the UK plug, snap on the US plug, and you're good-to-go.

That's the same one I mentioned in the original post.

I'm seriously considering a combination PAPR/IP faceshield like the Trend Airshield Pro. However, there are a few things about the Trend I find difficult to stomach. Are there any other viable...
Yes they do.
I pulled the rope today!:D:D:D

Thanks, everyone for your input and comments. After waffling around between single and 2-stage and two smaller units combined vs one bigger unit, I think I'm close to pulling the handle on a new...
