U channel

[SteveF]

anyone know where you can buy rubber u channel off the shelf
I would rather drive 20 miles than wait for delivery

I looked at halfords but they only seem to have hard chrome stuff
I thought about ripping some power cable but dont think I will get a straight cut
only need about 12"

What size channel Steve? I assume you mean similar to motorcycle screen edge trim in size?

Try looking at an electrical wholesaler for grommet strip.

Is this for your cyclone?

 

[SteveF]

maybe

 

[carlb40]

If it is and it is to seal between the cyclone base and the collection bin. Would some silicone applied before screwing / bolting the 2 together work?

 

[SteveF]

it is not to seal

i was going to use a bit of dpm or something ...whatever laying around

i can just see me sticking hand up into cyclone if i need to clear it and blood coming down ruining the sawdust

[carlb40]

Ahhh good call. I assume the hole is slightly larger than the outlet hole on the cyclone? If not with the rubber on there it might help cause a blockage/ interrupt the flow of sawdust.

See if any motor factors or body shops near you have any door seals. Should do the job.

Try a scrap yard too

I'd go for the grommet strip from the nearest CEF or other electrical wholesaler/

Don't large bandsaw blades come with the teeth protected by a plastic U strip anymore, did in my day.

How about those blue food containers, they are often used. You just need to find a seller near you.

Other sizes are available. I just searched for plastic drum, food drum, plastic barrel.

Empty 205 litre oil drum? You could probably pick one up for free at a garage or bus depot

 

[SteveF]

i looked at oil drums

they either had no lid
or
just a cap for pumping out
