Just wanted to say that if you look at used compressors, you want one with a tank that meets ASME codes, and I would have the tank inspected for rust inside. A tank that has been poorly maintained...
"I have been using an Onsrud DS 57-281 to work with Baltic Birch cut out."
Look for Onsrud 57-280 on Ebay, right now there are 5 new ones for $10 each with free shipping. I agree with you,...
"Been running the machine in the air for 8 hrs a day for a few days."
Dave, running that way puts no chips thru the dust system. I suspect that having chips flowing thru the PVC hoses builds up...
I concur that the wood is "stringy". It looks a lot like ash with the open pores, but it has a nice redish brown color. I only made a few items with it and never bought more because ash was less...
If you really want a durable plastic facing, try Googling phenolic faced plywood. I've not seen it in any colors except green and brown.

They have many Harley graphics - most are in vector format.
The thickest MDF I've found within 100 miles is also 1 inch. I made a couple of model airplane fuselage molds for some serious competition free flight modelers, and I laminated two pieces of the 1...

Their web site will show you what folks use.
I tried using mahogany, but it was wearing at around 75 parts, so it will depend upon how "low" your "low volume" is. :)
That's how you change the speed on all the 3-phase router spindles I'm aware of(Chinese, German, and Italian).
You use the VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) to vary the frequency of the voltage sent...
You need to get another "friend" ASAP. My wife and I have had to put to rest 5 "friends" over 47 years, but we have always had one or two other "friends" in the house to help ease the pain.

Hi Ralph,
Techniksusa dot com sells ER torque wrench adapters. I have no experience with the adapters, but I do buy their collets for my Perske spindles.

I do occasional work for an urn dealer, check out auinc(dot)com for ideas.
He has a lot of non-round models.
My dad was a tool and die maker, the dies he worked on were made from hardened tool steel and literally made millions of parts.
For stamping clay you will get some abrasive wear. See the...
I've been very happy with the Whiteside corebox bits - I use them to 3D contour hardwoods. Look for Whiteside #1413 - it has a 1/2 inch shank.
In 2010, I drove to Wissmann Brothers in Independence, KY (just south of Cincinnati), and they sold me what they said was Trupan Ultra Lite, but it had no markings on the edge. According to the...
I don't think the noise is anything to worry about. If you plan to cut much of that material and don't like the noise, try a different bit geometry.
For the 52-900 series, Onsrud recommends a...
First, congratulations! Not everyone is successful doing their first project.....
As for the bit screaming, you did not have a really bad case of bit screaming from what I heard. Really bad...
Um, just as most other folks, my home town is listed at the top right of my postings, its 68 miles north of Louisville on I-65.
Thee is a guy in my town who does this, he has done literally thousands of bricks. He makes his own stencils, uses a sandblast cabinet and a 5HP 2-stage IR compressor. He beats the bids of the...
Boyd, please tell Darryl Schwanke I think that's a beautiful photo of your ship.

Isn't it wonderful how much work can be done when you don't have those horrible OSHA folks trying to limit you? NOT
