I made a shelf to display the two models in my pool room.

Phil

Thank you, Russ.

I wanted to make a model of an antique gas pump to display with the Model T replica that I made recently. Highpockets, from the Vectric forum, found a 3D model for me and a friend 3D printed the...

Follow up on noisy fan. I thought that I had resolved the problem by blowing out the dust. The noise came back. I found a fix on Youtube that appears to be working. I ws able lubricate the fan...

Did the bit break off, was the shank still in the collet?

Phil:confused:

Before I fired up the control box I removed the power supply and blew it out with compressed air. There was some dust but not much. Put the power supply back in, turned it on, nice and quiet. ...

Now I know why I couldn't find one. I think I've narrowed it don to the power supply. It's not easy to check because it only hums from a cold start. If I turn it off and restart it will not hum. ...

Thank you, MogulTx for a thorough explanation. I'll let you know what I find.

Phil

I didn't realize you were talking about the fan in the power supply. I'll check it out.

Thanks,

Phil

MogulTx. I don't know what a contactor looks like, where it is or how to find it. I'd appreciate a little more information.

Thanks,

Phil

It wasn't the fan. The fan wasn't even connected. What else might be making the hum on start up? It only hums for less than a minute.

I have used screws from the underside of the table, along with wedges strategically placed to keep the slabs as parallel as possible.

Phil

Excellent.

Phil

Thank you to all. I've downloaded Qcad and it suits my needs. As Russ suggested I found a converter to work as a DXF file.

Phil

Thanks but I tried Sketchup, only the pro version can open DWG files.

A friend has asked me to make some minor changes in a house plan that he purchased. The drawing format is DWG. I opened it in Aspire but it is not suitable. I'm hoping someone suggest a free CAD...

I made a half scale version of the Bookpile project as a Valentine's Day gift for my wife. She has an embroidery machine and does beautiful work. Also, she is an avid reader. I used cherry for the...

Thanks. :)

I need to buy a new fan for my Shopbot control box. The specs on the current one are 12V, .14 A. I've been able to find 12 V, .12 A and .15 A.
Does the difference in Amps matter or will either...

Perfect choice of wood for a rustic clock. :)

Phil

If you haven't called Shopbot tech support you should. They are very helpful.

Phil

I started this project a little over a year ago. I wanted it as a Christmas gift for my wife. I got a bit bogged down with it and put it aside. So, a year later I started work again on it but...

Very impressive work. Thanks for posting.

Phil

Thanks, Jerry. I'll check it out.
