Renegage, I've had a new Precision Matthews PM 727V for about 8 months now. I've called them a couple of times and found them to be very responsive. Link below... https://www.precisionmatthews.com/shop/pm-727v/ I'm a card-carrying noob when it comes to machining and mills. I picked this...

I hear you guys loud and clear about the sawdust. Most of the time I do a pretty good job cleaning up between tasks but I have to admit, I've welded once or twice standing on a pretty good pile of sawdust without an issue. But I have had my share of problems with rags soaked with mineral...

k-os is correct, it's the same fence that comes on the larger Delta. There are other options, I chose that one because it matched what was on my Delta and I could figure out how to get it mounted before buying it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079TTTWR2/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I also transfered my...

Thanks everyone! Ever had one of those projects that you thought would take you a couple of days to knock out and you're still working on it two weeks later?? Yea, me neither... There's no doubt the MDF will get marked up from welding/grinding and everything else I'll end up doing to it. I...

I don't post much but I get an awful lot of inspiration from the stuff that you guys are willing to share! Thought I would try and pay it back a bit... I'm in the process of moving out of a larger shop that I've rented for several years back into a two car garage at my home. I had a full size...

I just finished a similar project for my Precision Matthews 727V. Only difference is that I built mine in steel. I'm certainly not trying to convince you to change your construction to steel, just thought you might want to see another design. The intent of the 3 drawer chest to hold tooling...

I certainly didn't intend to antagonize you. I was responding because you asked two questions that I could give definitive answers for. One about the breaker size and the other was the length of power cord. I'm just trying to be helpful, I'm sorry that you took my response the way you did...

I think your questions are easily answered by comparing the specs on equipment you want to use to the rated output of the compressor. No doubt you will be disappointed in any compressor, regardless of compressor technology, if the rated capacity can't keep up with your tools. I'm not sure I...

It requires at least a 20 amp circuit and I would estimate the power cord length to be 6-7 feet long. I would keep your HF compressed air dryer, that would make a great setup in my opinion. I'm actually considering buying one to hook to my new compressor. I'm curious why a db reading at 3...

I'm pretty sure I ordered mine on 11/7/2017. I got an email on 12/28/2017 from Eastwood that the compressor had shipped. I got a call from the shipping company (XPO Logistics) on 01/02 and scheduled the delivery for the afternoon of 01/04. They gave me a 4 hour delivery window and I asked...

Quick review I did on my new Eastwood... https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6948043#post6948043

I’ll offer up a quick review of the Eastwood QST-30/60 that was delivered to me last week. The crate was delivered by XPO Logistics last Thursday. I’ve had deliveries by them before and they have always been reliable. I live in a townhouse (where the compressor was delivered) and my shop is a...

South Arlington. Near Pleasant Ridge/Green Oaks.

Preferred, I laminated mine to 3/4" MDF and my turned-down edge is 1 1/4". Screwed to the cabinet bases it is certainly strong enough for anything I'll be doing. I wouldn't worry about having the base material the same thickness as the edge unless the edge is going to interfere with drawers or...

Here is the top I was referring to. 2 notches, 3 folds. Stuck it to 3/4" MDF with contact cement and screwed it in place. Solid enough for everything I'll ever need it to do.
