About a month ago H/F had a sale on a pancake compressor -2hp 4.2cft/m @ 90 psi for $89.00 ea. When I went in to look at it I found that they had one that was returned. The previous purchaser said it didn't work (they didn't know how to turn it on) and brought it back. Got it for another $20.00 now 69.00.
I was looking for one to use with a power sander. The sander only uses 3cft/M and the compressor develops 4.2cft/M. Should work - producing 1.2 cft/m more than needed and had a 4 gal tank. Should work ...........Right?
WRONG - I start sanding and it consistently runs out of air.
Went yesterday in to talk to H/F about it. After some discussions, they decided that since the sander is continous duty, a higher volumn was needed. They had a 5HP 8gal Tank unit on sale for $99.00. Long story short I got an even swap!
Next I went to Woodcraft to update my "Wish list" for Christmas. I have been thinking about getting an Incra 1000SE and was looking at the capabilities when I noticed that they had an Incra 5000 with slider table sitting on a table. I asked if they were closing it out. I was told that they were. Another long story made short. After some negotiotions, Got the 5000 for just a minimul amount over the cost of the 1000SE.
Then (and this is off topic), but I bowl for fun in a seniors league. Three games: 257, 220, 244 for a 721 series .......not too bad for an OLD man of 62. Finally got to take LOML out to dinner for our 37th wedding anniversary.
Talk about a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boy am I lucky
