Further testing I discovered the simply bracketing the inlet and outlet pipes to the wall behind does the trick however I understand this may not always suit so Ill still investigate a self contained fix.
Just reporting back on some quick tests I managed this morning for those who may be interested. Firstly as far as pressure or lack of it for me there is nothing to worry about. When the gate is closed it keeps the pressure high enough in my system. When the gate is open flow is fine and...
Thanks Lard, Space is my real issue until I can convice the better half that an workshop extension is a safety requirement !!, With the blast gates that you mentioned I seen a few motorised examples although for very large sytems they didnt look like they'd scale down very well to the 40mm pvc...
HI Pete, Literally just came off the design and manufacture stage, Ill test it in reality with the chop saw probably in a few days I hope using a bit of really dry chip board to see if it clogs. I dont think it will in my set up at least. Here some images of the open and closed. Ive just...
Just finished this project ready for implementing in my workshed. A 3d printed iris dust gate to work with 40mm PVC waste pipe.
You flip the switch and the iris opens, flip the switch and the iris closes. Sounds simple but required the servo to be adjustable (for closure accuracy) and...
Hi,
Has anyone came across a 3d printed dovetail jig/guide for a router table that theyve used ? I can find plenty but seen none that people have reviewed or say theyve used so unlikely spend time printing.
Thanks
Jim
Yes I kind of thought so too. I dont need much experience to realise the 1/2" bit it came with was probably a struggle for this machine to deal with. Hence maybe why the thing looked hardly used if a little neglected. Im thinking the the use of smaller bits is the way to go with a machine like this.
Hello all,
My better half was dropping stuff of at the local recyling depot today and noticed a gentleman about to throw away a Perform Morticer in full working order !!. So being the kind and thoughful person that she is, brought it home for me. Bearing in mind its not a tool Ive used since...
Thanks Spectric, I suppose that opens up another thread of thought on this, wondering what opinions there are with the group....?? In order to get more depth driven control with traditional brace bits would that be worth trying ? Rather than buying new bits and making use of the old ?
Thanks for all those comments. Looking at ways to use the old tools and save my elbows at the same time. I know there are modern bits available but imagined someone had solved the pull through issue with some adapter/ unit. Modern bits are the way to go for speed it seems.
Hi does anyone have some solutions for putting square ended brace bits in electrical drilling tools (chucks). An adapter ? Id really like to avoid cutting the end off my bits incase I want to use them on the hand brace again. Thanks. Jim.
