Making of vac table with two fein vacs
Remade Jim Stoddart's vac box to fit the new fein vac III
Little more.
First kid made project for our local Baseball team.
More to come....
Thanks for all the pics Kyle, helps me understand the full size better.
Trying to make it like Alison Stoddart's post but I think his is way to good and clean to beat.
First production run, props for a dance class that does free Zumba for our PE class.
Everything cut great but the bit slipped and the table will look a little fancy for a while (last picture is the table 3/16" deep:eek:).
Well Kyle-They look great and now you learned to crank down on the wrenches when tightening your bit! I make it a rule to set the wrenches so I can squeeze them together with one hand so I get a strong grip and don't waste half my strength pushing against the axis and possibly screwing up my x or y location.
(A day without learning something is a wasted day :))
Shop seems to lack dust...
Tie your wrenches together so you can lose them both at the same time.
As above, wrenches should be used at a small angle and squeezed together (like a scissors) to change bits.
The bit was tight but it was not high enough up in the spindle.
It was the first time I had a student do it. (guess I need to watch better).
Will be posting all the good and the bad.
Maybe if you got some gun bluing and dip the bits' shanks to the proper depth. Then you could have a teaching element and a visual cue to the proper depth.
No blue below, good to go. Or something. And the kids can also self monitor each other. :D
