Yes, we are the world leaders in making brand names generic.

As a Yank, I had no idea what a "shifter" was. Had to google it.:oo:
Now I get it; it's an adjustable crescent wrench!:D

Hmmm, shifter is a lot easier to say.

Steve, I felt the same way about my General 650 cabinet saw. After following this forum for a few years, I finally bit the bullet, bought a Clear-Vue and installed a 150mm (6") port in my saw....

Thanks for the response, Bob. I had visions of charred PVC dancing in my head and probably went too low on the temp at the flare. I wasn't too displeased as the rest of the process went pretty much...

Well, here's my first try. 150 mm. Got the same crimp as BobL did on his first. I suspect that the temp. was too hot near the problem area compared to the flare end, but I may have this backwards....

Got my log but it’s not dry and starting to crack, so I waxed it and will leave it for a while.

Yeah, we're colder than you today 10º F now, 2 this morning.

I might try Bob's thing if I can get a log. Thanks, though.

Perhaps I wasn't clear. I am in the U.S. We must not use them here
Check out Bob's process. Ain't that easy, but I plan to try it.
Thanks, Pete.

Looks like those floor flanges are unique to Oz. I don't see any in the States here. Working on the rig for BobL's 150 bell mouth maker.

20 mm MDF on 2x4 studs?

Thanks for the sketch, Chris. As you know, my filters are vertical and sit on top a clean-out box. I think I'll have to enclose the filter stack with a rockwool lined cabinet and see how that goes....

OK, thanks.

First off, apologies to the thread originator for hijacking. Happy to cease if he/she wants to recover it.

Lappa, Dwyer seems to be talking about air handling HVAC applications. I have nothing...

Yes, the idea is to measure the pressure difference change over time to see when your filters are clogging. So, in this case, you would leave one port open to the ambient atmosphere and hook the...

No worries, Chris. I wish I could bypass the filters, but not in my neighborhood. I'll just try it both ways and see which gives a positive reading. Thanks again.

I scanned almost all of those videos; none answered my question. Simply put, is the static pressure just before the filter, after the...

For a number of reasons, I can't enclose my entire CV1800. Any ideas on how much noise attenuation I could get by enclosing the filters?
This is an indoors installation.

P.S. any help on my post...

Just finishing my Clear Vue install. I'm confused on the pressure differential connections.
Do I connect the gauge at the low or high pressure port?
By my reasoning, it should be the high since...

Jeremy, are the dimensions of the conduit (ID & OD) the same as sewer and drain pipe?

Lloyd, BobL is correct. Many WW’ers have gone through a lot of trouble for nothing on this. However, static buildup on the outside does happen. Not a fire hazard but it can zap you. Had it happen...

Can make those changes. Thanks.

Pics of the lathe dust hood. Works well. You can see that it slides on the banjo for vertical adjustment.

Sorry for the orientation, but I rotated the first two 90º right and...

Thanks for your help, Bob.
Last things first, I was referring to only using d/c for sanding.
But now that you mention it, I’ll post some pics. The front part is the gate. I made the thing before...

Bob,
Yes, the RAS needs to be against the wall, about where you see the duct descending, you that layout won't work.
The table saw extension is opposite the RAS. At the bottom of the photo you can...

Here's a picture. Piping is from my old setup with a Jet 1100. That d/c was in the same place and did a pretty good job with both lathe and RAS separately. I have only been using d/c on the lathe for...

I have my CV installed and am ready to hang piping. My shop is small and, due many reasons I won't bore you with, the locations of my machines are not flexible.
So, my RAS is located very close to...

Thanks to all. I should be fine.

Chris, I've looked back on the Clear Vue forum and cannot find that comment. It had to do with someone who was concerned about dust constantly circulating at the bottom of the cyclone and the...

Yeah, last time I was in NSW (20 yrs ago) you had just had some really bad fires. It look like my Vietnam days after an air strike. Exploding trees? Really?

Anyway, I asked about this because on...

Just finishing up my install. I have only 2 inches ( ok, you caught me, I’m a Yank) from the bottom of the cyclone to the lid of my collection drum. Is this going to be a problem?

If so, any...

I'm in.

I definitely would not get CBN wheels yet for a few reasons. First, they are expensive. More importantly, sharpening skills are very important to turners. CBN wheels do not spark, and sparks are a...

I just came across a tool (either an out-cannel gouge or small turning gouge) with the Corfield name on it.

Only thing I could find on it was a listing of old Sheffield tool makers. I suspect it...

Dee,
curious to know what you didn’t like about the SCM S400, if you looked at it..

Joe

I just bought the SCM 400p (MiniMax 16) and it's a beast! 4.8 hp motor. All very solid, but...requires a 240v/30 amp circuit.

Think of your bench as a giant holding jig or clamp. I would not use wax or a film finish. Would look great, feel great but wouldn't work as well.

Danish oil is fine. You can make your own with...

Teakman, don't forget to wax the dowels before drawboring. Are they going to be blind or through?

Teakman, have you done the drawboring yet?

You've got to see this! And don't forget to view the demo video at the bottom of the page. I have three of these on order!

The holes are not threaded. I was able to find large slotted wood screws from McMaster-Carr in the USA. They go up to #24, which are quite large. I'll use #20.

Thanks for the linseed oil tip. I'll...

I'm mounting a big ol' vise to the end of my bench. The rear jaw has large countersunk mounting holes (almost 5/16").

The largest FHWS's I can find are #14, which are pretty small for this.
Any...

I am 5' 8" and built my Ruobo at about 790mm. I plan on making some fixtures to clamp to the top to raise the working height of certain other tasks, since the 790 is good for planing.

Hi guys,

I'm going to buy Len's vise for my new bench but need some advice. My bench is only 69 inches long. I have not done any dovetailing but plan to learn in the near future. I will use the...
