So here is my Metal Dust collection system that I'm retrofitting. I started with a Torit filter collector that I picked up from FB marketplace. It had a rough life ( or at least a rough ending to its former life) Someone wasn't nice to it.... looked like it was pulled off the roof and...

So I'm finally nearing the end of my control system retrofit of my Mastercam 3000 plasma table. With the original control panel Mastercam suggested the table's star ground point be connected to a ground rod installed at the table ( or as close as possible ). This means that the output from the...

I have a Donaldson Torit dft 2-4 10hp dust collector that I'm refurbishing for my plasma table. I need to replace the cartridges. I will need 8 of them, I can get after market filters in either MERV 11 or MERV 15. The MERV 15's are $40 more (each) than the 11's, I know that they filter...

Hello I want to retrofit my blast cabinet. When I built it, I made it to use the old 500wt halogen floodlights. But I'm not happy with them and want to "upgrade" them ( 2 of them over the 6' wide cabinet). I see lots of high bay lights out there ( and I know that they will not be optimal...

I have ( as far as I know) the largest and heaviest Vice Chas Parker ever made, a model 978 @298lbs of Vise goodness :) The Vise is not beat all to hell but it's not pristine either as it was used for many years and will be used hard once again. So should I restore it clean, and paint it all...
