It would also be interesting to show a photo of the wiring diagram (inside the cover?).

I have had a Thien Baffle in my 3HP DC for several years. It does a pretty good job of collecting chips and larger sawdust. However, it allows a high percentage of fine dust from tools like a drum...
Congratulations, John! That looks like a great upgrade to your DC system.
Just a minor suggestion -- replace the 90º elbow on your cyclone inlet with a 45º ell or a long turn 90º ell. This will...
I do not have a definitive answer to your question, but one important difference is that, if I recall correctly, the granite top is a 3-piece 1 3/4" thick slab, with some pockets for mounting and...
I have had the Ridgid 4511 for several years. It doesn't see very heavy usage, but it has held up well. I think I have one minor chip in the top -- must have been careless and dropped something on...
Hi Lee,
Gonna buy some new tools with all that money?? :-)

I certainly agree that joint would be a painful hazard on a bed frame, but it did make an interesting corner joint for a 2 X 4 Challenge project for our woodworking club a couple of years ago....

OOPS! You're right, Andy. I originally wrote the reply using the radius (2.5") and forgot to edit it to 5" when I changed the word to "diameter". Thanks for catching that.

Curt - I wouldn't expect the balance to be an issue because (1) the wall thickness of the drum in that area is fairly thin, (2) the amount of material to be removed is relatively small, (3) the 5"...
George -
I haven't really thought about it, but I will probably use my oscillating multi-tool with a metal cutting blade to minimize the amount of chips/debris. However, as an alternative I may...
I have had a 16-32 sander for several years and use it frequently. However, the lack of access to the right hand paper clamp has been a continual source of frustration for me and most other owners of...
One thing you should seriously consider is replacing your 2 HP Grizzly/ Thien Baffle DC setup with a real, high capacity cyclone, such as one of the Clearvue or Oneida models. The Thien Baffle (I...
You might check with the folks at Clearvue Cyclones (www.clearvuecyclones.com). The original Clearvue Cyclone owner's son has or had a business venture involving CNC machining (routing) of MDF and I...
I would address that question to the folks at Clearvue. They are very helpful and may have some ideas or perspectives that may help you. Great folks to deal with!
Yes, I recently installed one of these Chinese mini-cyclones to capture the fine dust from my drum sander. Like you, I have a Thien Baffle system and have found like many others that such a system...
With just a casual glance, this looks a lot like the old clothes hamper my mother used to have. The door or front of the bin was just a flat panel that had a pin in each edge near the bottom,...
My shop is much smaller, but I used 2' x 2' DriCore, resin impregnated OSB tiles to cover the concrete floor. The plastic grid backing provides a slightly resilient feel to
the floor, making it easy...
That is very strange. As far as the control circuitry for the sander is concerned, the ammeter is a passive device. If you wired it as shown on the reference post, the box containing the meter is...
You don't say what grit paper you are using, but fine grit paper burns much more easily. Also, remember that the grit dulls with each pass, so maybe it is time to change out the paper.
I don't have...
If you have it drawn in AutoCAD, why can't you just use an end view with the bed framing drawn in and just rotate the framing in the view while trying various pivot points? The circular path of the...
I use the IGaging EZCal IP 54, which has large, easy to read numbers, and a table of decimal equivalents from 1/64" - 1" on the back, printed in white on black. I seldom use fractions, preferring...
I used 3/4" diameter steel rod or bar, 12" long.
One of our members gave a presentation at last month's meeting of the Northwest Woodworkers Association in Seattle, WA, regarding his installation and performance of this Penn State cyclone dust...
Somehow the information you quoted from the Grizzly CS either got mixed up or you were misinformed. The DC fan runs at a fixed speed, regardless of the amount of air it is moving. The number of runs...
