In the second video where he builds the fan....a test run at 17:54, you can see the housing orientation, blades orientation and direction of rotation just as it starts. Looks OK. Did he change...

You probably have your own denailing and metal detecting protocols... I learned some by watching the old Tongan guys at my friends timber yard. They had tweaked detectors and ridgid protocols. Each...

Really excellent video. Full of good ideas. Interesting how often he is using a "false top". Years ago I made lots of oval mirrors and my false top was an almost full sheet of MDF.

So I flew back to Indonesia and they had modernised that shaper with a new (old stock) fence, guard, keeper, dust hood unit. Real progress, at least for the safety inspections...

I've had a few iron machine tops that have pitted after being left way too long. I have normally ground the surface with a 3M mit and applied a protective coat (now using U-beaut wax). But I'm...

I bought an old one of these recently. See the pic in my recent thread. My blade guard is different to the common one. A very simple box cover. Looks factory made. I will almost never use it. There...

I've often done renovation, carpentry jobs where I had to race home to machine something on a bench saw. Decent little Makita/Hitachi onsite saws were normally too expensive. This 20 year old 2708...

Not of practical use here, but it's interesting...Magellan, an importer in Auckland, were selling "125mm" PVC until recently out of stock.

I didn't twig at first that the video was a promo, not showing your workshop. We don't know what your CNC enclosure/room looks like The dust problems for your CNC bay and finish sanding bay will be...

I didn't imagine that big cutter. So clever and obvious, the offsets between tool paths can be relatively huge. Is all the CNC for the top and rails done in one go or is there a fine cut? Is the...

I'm not sure where you're going with that. Can't a particle from a cell still have some air in it? The bubbles meaning the expanded beads? I don't know if it's much different to the poly foam you've...

I think that Wiki is refering to the density of unexpanded polystyrene beads. That totally flumoxed me and that was the only explanation I could think of. I dimly remember the explanation of how the...

Bob,
The one commonly called the PM2.5 is the one I was thinking of. Lots of folks bought one, including me, and I'm guessing you. I added an edit with a link to the forum page with info on that.

I shaped a dozen or so boards when I was young with little care about the mess, so I remember this dust. I googled "dust extraction for surfboard shapers" and saw what people were doing, but nothing...

That is a really interesting watch. I think if I had my own mig I might have a go. I don't remember him referencing the Clearview. His beginning point seems to be Bill Pentz, but he sensibly opts for...

I found the source of the settings that I used for the infeed, outfeed assembly. Take these as good beginning points, like when you start to tune your chainsaw carby. Deviations should be small, like...

I had a Tanner 12x4 for over 20 years, a later version than your one. It had a lubricated gear box and variable speed feed. The assembly of rollers, cutter head, breaker and pressure bars might be...

The photo was shot in portrait and the phone saved it as JPEG. I tried saving it as a GIF in Paint (Win10), left the meta data alone, but it looks like GIF doesn't retain most of it, EXIF dats...

Octopus is tending toward unnecessary complexity. I'm leaning to that view. A "ventilator" removing fine particles may be a likely necessity anyway.

Sketching a version of the octopus intakes idea. I'm ok making the unusual one off shapes out of glass fibre. The "lampshade" hood idea, suspended over the jointer cutter, is growing on me. It could...

Thanks Bob. I was hoping you would spot this one.

I was trawling for posts on DE for jointers. Not so much for ideas on improving ports, flow from cabinets. I'm wondering if someone has been (even theorising about) scavenging fine particles...

Excellent, thanks for replies. Bob, your Ys exiting horizontally (pic in post 23) was what I was thinking of as a "horizontal element"

Bob,
In the picture you're referring to (above)..Do chips tend to accumulate in descending branches to machines? Do they unplug easily without complication once opened? Is it worth placing the blast...

Thanks Bob. Reassuring.

I bought it from Banggood. I'm new to banggood and Aliexpress and the return process they may have.

The wierd thing is, I left it on in the kitchen and checked a few hours later, and it showed...

I don't think so...The first power up, believable readings and second power up, flickering screen and zeros were in the house. I did then go down to the workshop, which hadn't been used for hours,...

Bob,
I anticipated your thought on damage from heavy dust concentration. As I say in my edit to my post above. All happened inside my house with assumably low dust levels. Are they sensitive to...

Hey Neil,
after reading your post on these PM2.5 detectors I also bought one. Such a cool little gizmo. Plugged it in and got readings just as expected. But the second time I plugged it in the...

I know many guys using decent iron moulders may have a laugh or frown that it is not safe, but it has done some precise work, and I think that the wooden keeper setup as shown is fine. Actually, the...

I used to make some beautiful things on this primitive setup. An Eichman G unit (3/4") set into a wooden table top made from an old fire stop door, with painted hardboard surface. I used to lay a...

Thanks for the leads chaps..
I notice in the patent drawing that the mitre gear and sleeve are integral (15). In my one the gear is aluminum and the sleeve looks steel. I'm assuming that my sleeve...

Thanks Tom,
I've seen a couple of photos on auction sites. I suppose I could ask a seller. Chances are good that someone on the forum here, or a vintage forum, has fiddled with one. Meantime it...

I've had this one sitting in waiting for years. I suddenly needed it so gave it a functional spruce up. Problem is that the gear is sitting out of position and only engaging...

I see now, that was you with the dremel...Ta.

The cold might have numbed my brain. The photo looks like cutting a hole with a dremel mounted on the lathe saddle. Is the parting tool version a different photo? Cheers.

Can you tell me how you found that, what your search method was? Would be appreciated. It may not be relevant, but under my Win10 the icons to choose drawing/drawings/part # are at the bottom of the...

Lappa,
that's a cool find. I don't know how you did that. Amazon is not letting me choose the other interesting parts to see price and shipping, some interesting looking hoods there...A point on the...

I enjoy your scepticism QC, but if I have a good idea I will definitely try. I don't like the idea of cutting the original machine. I like coming up with novel shapes for the chute(s) that can be...

Hey Pete.
@BobL....I was just making light with those photos, but Junior is using it like that for a small project...

You mentioned before about scavenging fine dust close to source. Given that...

Or not. Just nothing. Junior solved the problem this way....

I can't build any DE system yet so I'm treading water exploring ideas. Thoughts about DE for the F1000-A planer/jointer I'll put here rather than start a new thread.

Useful recommendation on that Huanyang.
I'll attach the manual for the Weiken WK310 series in case it's useful. That series does have the vector controller..
