...how Henry Ford "screwed" Robertson and his screw is an interesting story!

This vid was an absolute eye opener.

Woops, I spoke too soon. However I do have what, to me, is a brilliant suggestion. I replaced the irritating Phillips screw with a thumb screw ( 5 for a dollar) which eliminates all frustration.

You missed what, for me, is the most glaring difference--ease of changing the belt on the pulleys. The Rikon and Laguna are not even on the same planet.

@EthAnswers, hi sir, i'm realy interested in geometry of hooks on your bandsaws that you are using. In your opinion what is the best hight of the tooth, tooth spacing, also how far are hook tips drown to side left and right before the bansaw was sharpend?? I wolud be very greatfull for any info.. Best regards form serbia :D

Good content. Why you used these with one motor on, not two? Is double motor set-up too powerful for this kind of small cyclones? Double camvac is great but dust filter clogs fast reducing performance. Therefore cyclone sounds interesting addition to camvac.

Look niiiice

What is the difference in stopping time of the axis between the Envoy and Regent once STOP button is pressed?

this is awesome, need.

My pal Colin from FlinFlon brought me here

OMG! Excellent! Thanks

I like Record products, but that lathe was made too light duty for me.

Ethan, my flatmaster is in shipping, and I am looking to get a little bit more scientific than "just a little bit of light" between the drum and the straight edge. If you were to use a feeler gauge, what thickness would you have to match your "little bit of light" ?

Hi. Are these filters available in the UK? I'd like to upgrade my dual motor Camvac. Thanks

Hmm. So it's not a jointer type sander. So what is it exactly?

Which model is the camvac? Looking online at one.

which metal did you cut? steel? brass? iron? aluminum? osmium?

I have 3-19mm wide blade capable bandsaw, Can I use 1-2mm wide blade, If No Whats reason.

Very helpful l video... learned what the slots are for in top of my new machine... the directions it came with are not easy to understand. Thank you.

Thanks for the video! I had already returned one blade for being too long before I investigated further and discovered your instructions. While I was at it, I also replaced the tires and now everything works smoothly. For those who haven't had to do this yet, it takes 2 17mm wrenches to deal with loosening and tightening the nuts.

Good no nonsense explanation. Well done

Can this be used to cut meat?

One with a hard and rod attached to it

Nice jig. But how do u fit a 4 foot long board in the little ripper for resawing? Is the track extendable?

Great video thanks. I am installing a switch on a Leeson 1/2 hp motor and the wires are all black and marked with the P1 and the other Ps , not colour coded. Is there a schematic how to wire the switch without the colours.

Will you plan on airdrying these boards stickered with a lot of weight to keep them true since you didn't allow much for jointing and planing? Had a limb come down from a sentimental apple last summer and ready to try the little ripper. Should I allow for extra milling, don't really want to kiln dry

Good work man

Just purchased a Leeson M009086 Electric Motor 1/2HP 1725 RPM 115/208-230VAC Single Phase for my lathe and want to be able to wire it to a Dayton drum switch. The motor has 7 wires and I would like to see a video of how to wire the forward/stop/reverse switch. Great video!

Will you have to clean them as often as the canvas bags? Fine dust on the main bag builds up quick. I keep one washed at all times for that purpose. It’d be nice to not to have to open it up as much

Wow, that Rikon 10-326 (I think) made short work with the Little Ripper. What blade were you using for that?

Thanks for the share ! Nice wood nice history and really a great product! Enjoy that build for your family.

What if you stop the fence at the blade so the timber can do its own thing?

Awesome, great to know, thank you and God bless.

That test doesn't make sense. So the way the room works is it is high volume, low pressure. So it's good at dealing with moving a lot of air. It works better with tools that have more cavernous dust paths. Table saws, planers and such. It moves a lot of air but it doesn't move it as hard or as quickly. The camvac is the opposite. So once both tools together have gotten it into a tight area, the camvac's power is gonna steal more dust. Cause it's pulling harder. A better test would be to time the amount of time both take to suck the dust up. Or perhaps to see how far away from the hose they can get it. Or, if you want to highlight the camvac more, how much power they lose with complicated ductwork with a lot of branching. They're really built for different purposes and this test just gives a huge advantage to the camvac.

What kind of pressure drop did you have by adding the cyclone? Also, isn’t the Camvac already multi-stage?

I use a strap wrench to remove my SC2 and SC3 chucks. Far less risk of bending or breaking the chuck key - or worse still, damaging the socket in the chuck that it fits into. I wince internally when I see a chuck key being used as a lever like this - good for sales of spare keys, though. 😉

Can I 3d print one? I know it’s not nylon but I’m so friggin froogle here man I’m using a leaf as an iPhone right now to watch this

I see that the iVac says to not exceed 3HP but in amps it still under the maximum allowed. Do you think there was a tweak he had to make?

stop buying stuff; I made mine with gasket material

I have had my Herald for a few months and I absolutely love it, the only thing that is just a little annoying is the size of the hand wheel, its a little small and it would be nice to have the to have moveable controls, it has not been an issue yet but if I do some bigger bowls I can see it becoming an issue. yes I know they make a magnetic stop switch but all that does for you is add a little safety but it does nothing in your everyday use of the machine. frankly it is a little condescending. I really can't complain much because for the size it is way better than anything else in is size.

Mmmmmm - thanks for the tip . . . . but I think it may or could cause a problem. If you have a heavy item on the chuck and you switch off and rub your hand on the spindle wheel on the side of the lathe to slow it down if you stop it too quickly it may loosen itself from the inertia from the large mass/weight trying to undo the chuck. I dont know if it is the case but maybe food for thought. Anyone else out there with the same views?

What a great idea.

How do you align the drive points on the Hareld?

Yes!! I emailed you a while back about your store carrying these and never heard anything back. Glad you’re carrying them now. Had someone over the other day and was showing them my Camvac. He capped the end of the hose with his hand and the vac lifted my 30 gallon trash can 12” off the floor! Need to get one of these.

The only way over the years I learned to get the pitch and burned in resin out of the "sandpaper" and salvage it is to soak in warm water with TSP (tri sodium phosphate) added then pressure wash it clean, can't imagine that hook and loop paper would hold up, and no those rubber erasers are only minimally effective.

These are fully compatible with the Sorby Patriot Chuck and work very well.

Unfortunately this just proves which one is a better vacuum. What people need to understand about dust extraction is that it’s the range of effect and volume that makes a difference at the tool end there are some smoke test videos that illustrate this point pretty well. Also what matters is the output in terms of dust that makes it through the machine.

This machine was by far the biggest mistake in my shop . Will I spend $7.00 a foot on Velcro to convert it . Not in your life . Great presentation guys but I hate the sander . To many burn marks on my wood . It’s very difficult and to swap paper . Overall I would rate the machine at a 1 only bc ya can’t give it a zero n. Thanks but maybe iffn the price on the Velcro come down as well as the paper ,I might reconsider. Thanks for the video ! Cheers

How much 600grits

My motor only has a blue and yellow set of wires, where do the white and black cord wires connect to.
