I have a HF 2hp unit with a homemade Thein baffle to create a 2 stage system. The exhaust is actually plumbed through 6” metal duct straight out of my basement window so no filter which allows for a higher flow rate. I have it plumbed throughout the shop with 5” duct, blast gates and minimal...

I am about to venture into this arena as well and I am glad I found this thread. I am very intrigued by the Girolift stuff but there website doesn't list a lot of data on mounting. I'm also thinking about one of the portable units but removing the rear "portable" part and just leveling it onto...

Good afternoon all, After a long time scouring Craigslist I finally found a great vintage Craftsman drill press. It is in great running condition and is so quiet and just what I had hoped it would be. Now, it's not perfect! It has some missing pieces I would like to find. It's missing the...

Picked this up today after quite a few months of looking. It's a Craftsman 101 series and it runs quite well. Very little to no noise while running. It's missing a few parts so if anyone has any ideas or stuff they would be interested in selling let me know. It does not have a table, depth...

The Freud cutters work just fine it's just that these work that much better! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I gave Todd a call at Whiteside and he hooked me up with a 1900 rabbeting bit w/a B3 bearing and then two additional custom bearings and that worked perfectly! I actually need to order one more bearing to shave off an additional 16th of inch from the ID tube and I think it will work perfectly...

Thanks. I actually took a trip to the hardware store earlier but no luck finding any parts that worked as a bearing and shaft with a solid fit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will do that! Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the feedback all. I checked rabbiting kits and it looks like 1/8" is the smallest increment you can do. I need to do 16ths. I'm trying to create a slip fit between the two so having fine adjustments to dial it in is important. I have a couple matches bearings lying around. I'll...

I thought rabbit bit with a bearing but the bearing wouldn't really allow anything to be removed right? Isn't the idea of a bearing that it rides along a matching surface and you shave off to match on a different surface? There is not matching surface for this one. Sent from my iPhone using...

Good afternoon all, Quick question. I am trying to route a lip into the ID and OD of a wood cylinder. I created two jigs, one for ID and one for OD. Here is a pic of the OD jig: Problem with this is as it rides around it just continually eats the wood away until I break the other side...

Being familiar with F1 I think I know what you're saying here. So if I were to insert 2 or 3 pins into one of the mating faces with a corresponding hole in the other face to create a bit of support and also prevent twisting the DZUS fitting may apply quite well. Yes?

Good morning all, I tried searching for a while and cannot seem to find an answer about holding strength on "DZUS" style fittings. I am working on a project that will basically encompasses taking a cylinder, cutting it in half, milling off some ID of one and OD of the other to create a slip...

The shell is 5/16" (.3125") thick and is 6 plys. Ideally I would have the plys be 3 and 3 between the two halves. Just so I understand correctly you're saying setup some sort of depth guide to keep the shell from traveling to far into the bit and not rely on the bearing on the bit to control...

I can do an internal ring without problem. I was hoping to avoid the cost of purchasing additional shell material to create that ring. Also losing the internal storage space isn't a huge issue but if it's one that could be avoided that would be ideal.
