I'm looking at the newest shark guard model SGK1. It looks like it will work really well, when the blade is vertical.

My question is, how well does it work, if you have the blade tilted at an...

I would go along the lines of Clay's idea. Build the box that is under the saw deep enough that it goes back beyond the motor a little.

If the motor is enclosed into the same cabinet as the...

I've got a concrete floor with radiant heat tubing installed. Because it is in the basement where the boiler is, the tubing only heats the floor when we get a real cold snap. I used concrete stain...

I lucked into a metal parts drawer cabinet at a moving sale. It even included some large diameter fine thread hardware. It only cost $20 but It took more than 40 hours to derust, degrease, clean up,...

Considering that you are in MT, I would plan on isulating, regardless what else you do. With an older house, I would assume you have 2 x 4 walls, and little or no insulation. If you do fiberglass in...

There is no standard testing method to make it easy for consumers to compare stats from one company to another almost a waste of time.
But, I tried anyways, when I was looking to buy a cyclone in...

You have plenty of space, so you could add another dust collector to the one you have.


I would sell the DC that you have and put the $ toward a larger cyclone. A 3-5 hp should be plenty. My...

Hi Bill

If you really want change of speeds, change to a 3 phase motor combined with a VFD.

A 3 phase motor can often be had for very little $. A VFD will set you back at least a C note.

I bought one of the 2' x 5' matts years ago for about $14 when we had a local woodcraft store and really liked it. It worked out to about $1.50 per square foot.

Since then I have bought a few...

You could use a 8" to 7" reducer then a 7" to 6" reducer. But, both reducers have about a 45* transition angle.

A 8" x 6" x6" wye that looks like this...

From a theoretical standpoint, you do not want to crate turbulance in the airstream right before the air enters the cyclone as it would reduce the seperation efficency. It would be better to have at...

As most have said 20 amp is enough for most equipment up to 3 hp. 5 hp reens a 30 amp.

The griz 3 hp cyclone rated at 22 amp use to recomend a 30 amp circuit and now they have changed the...

One advantage of steel over PVC is the 90* adjustable elbows that are cheap and handy. Two can make a nice sweep 90, or you can make whatever angle you want. With pvc you are limited to set angles...

A good seal around the basement door at the top of the stairs will help.

I boxed in a small window with wood. There is a small door in the top middle of the box to reach thru to open and close the...

Do you know where you are going to locate heavy equipment away from the walls ? If you do just add more joists where you will need the support.

In my house I ran 4 floor joists 12" on center...

Hi John

I wouldn't get to hung up on the specs quoted by any of the manufacturers. There is no standard industry wide method of measuring. So comparisons between manufacturers is useless.

Do you have a specific need or use for the drum sander ?

I paid about $ 500 for a used performax 16-32 without casters or extra infeed or out feed tables. The extra tables permenatly take up...

If you build your own stand or buy the griz version you won't have to worry about vibration thru the office wall. The stand would also allow you to easily enclose the cyclone more to reduce the...

Don't give up on a 3 phase machine due to the lack of 3 phase power. A VFD will be an economic solution to convert your single phase power to three phase. A VFD to handel up a 3 hp motor will set...

Now it comes back. Last winter I was checking ebay trying to find a CV06 and had no luck. I was unwilling to buy the Oneida product for a couple of reasons that I will not expound upon in an open...

Do a little research using phone book, internet, and local home centers. Find out who provides the home centers with their custom laminate countrtops. Then contact the manufacturer directly to see...

First I would like to offer my condolences on your loss.

I would have to agreee with Bas. The cyclone will be overkill.

Noise even with a 1.5 hp will be farily loud and could bother the...

A little over a year ago, I found my 6" jointer to small. I was outbid on a couple of dj20's and a porter on ebay before looking at new equipment. I found a shop fox dealer who had 5 (paint...
