  1. Thanks. You all make me feel special.
  2. Without pics, we won't believe you.
  3. Thanks Les. I appreciate that.
  4. I'm not trying to bore you good folks with pics of my project but my wife found a bowl that just fits in my piece. I think it really looks good this way. She wants to find a bowl that is of a color like red/ruby or blue/cobalt. What do you think? I can't tell because I'm not good with colors. Not color blind, just not good.
  5. What is that device hanging down Les? Looks interesting.
  6. I've never seen that before. Thanks.
  7. I guess I need to see it from underneath. I can't picture how it works. Duh! I'm slow!
  8. Try running the system without the bag in the vac just for giggles. It might be plugged up from very fine dust that can't be seen. Or maybe the bag is just bad. Give it a try and see what happens.
  9. Did you examine the filter bag inside of your vac Paul? Just wondering if it could be so plugged up that it's causing excess vacuum to be sucking the sides of the bucket in. By putting that valve in the circuit, you are providing some relief to the whole system.
  10. No, not that. In 2 of your pics, there is something round on the lower right corner of the table/jig. I figured it must be a clamp to hold the sanding jig to the sanding table. Just wondering what it was.
  11. What type of clamp is that that you are using to hold it to the sander table? It has a round rod type of clamp rod? I've not seen one like that.
  12. What happens if you close it off or open it up all the way. Does anything change?
  13. I messed around today with my little EX16. I thought I'd just do a bit of greasing on the upper arm bearings. I took them all apart and I'm glad I did. The grease that was there was very dry and sticky. I cleaned it all out the best I could and applied a generous helping of synthetic grease to all 5 bearings/sleeves and reassembled. I tightened them all up to what I thought was tight but not too tight. I plugged it in and started it on a very low setting. All of a sudden I've got a knocking noise that I never had before. So, I started messing around. Finally I went to each bearing and loosened it and then re-tightened but not quite as tight. It seems that did the trick. No more noise. Something to think about when putting these saws back together. Now I wish I still had my inch pound torque wrench.
  14. I came across this a little while ago. I've posted it in all 3 of the topics that are ongoing regarding dust collection. Sorry for the repetition.
  15. Here's something to add to the whole conversation. Interesting little build.
  16. I just ran across this little video and thought of the 2 or 3 ongoing topics we have here on SSV.
  17. I understand what you are saying. I might think about coming out of the cyclone a ways and then necking it down to a Y fitting and go from there. Two schools of thought and without seeing your setup, tough to visualize.
  18. Have you checked out the offerings from LocLine? I think there is a 3/4" "Y" advertised if I recall.
  19. Don't believe everything you read Kevin.
  20. Hooking it up would be no problem as long as you have a Big compressor. And make sure you run the air through a good dryer/filter to keep the media dry.
  21. I bought Deft at Ace Hdwe. I forgot that I have that too.
  22. Thanks Dan. I might consider a semi gloss poly. Not sure I want a gloss like the Zinsser shellac. I'll have to ponder on it.
  23. My problem exactly.
