Re: Saw stand wheels, on floor or off the floor?
My Grizzly saw (G9742) sits on the wheels, (simple plastic critters) and has two rubber feet on the handle end. http://www.grizzly.com/products/5-x-6-Metal-Cutting-Bandsaw-w-Swivel-Head/G9742 I¡¯ve

Saw stand wheels, on floor or off the floor?
On my bandsaw, the current stand built by previous owner is worse than the original sheet metal stand as it distorts the frame of the saw. My new stand will have two 100mm (4") rubber wheels from an

Re: Ideas For Holding Copper Water Pipe Fitting
Ha ha, the siding looks terrible doesn't it?! It needs a good cleaning, but it is so old, I don't know if that would even help. Plus, it is the only covered area close enough to the house to be used

Re: Ideas For Holding Copper Water Pipe Fitting
You still have other options If you want a nice non staining one, then stainless steel. MUCH more of a bitch to work with than copper. You could also put the copper on standoffs. That should minimize

Good idea to paint. Had ductless AC put in my home and only piping and cable runs available where white. Looked like crap in put on my yellow aluminum sided home. Had the installer drop off sufficient

Creative Solution Award The picture did not come through for me; however, I do understand your idea. I think I will try bending first, as I think it would look less obtrusive. Thanks, Chip Hopefully

Re: Ideas For Holding Copper Water Pipe Fitting
Would stainless steel be a solution? Aluminum? Another plated metal? If you used a stand-off or spacer the copper wouldn't touch the siding, then no staining. 4x6bandsaw@...> wrote:

Re: Ideas For Holding Copper Water Pipe Fitting
Search YouTube. Lots of good techniques shown there. Bending pipe with a heat gun does work well but I would not attempt to bend a 90 degree elbow. <--Hopefully my picture comes through. Since this is

Re: Ideas For Holding Copper Water Pipe Fitting
Yes with a flame it's easy to scourch it, a heat gun is better. Kinking depends on how far and how sharply you bend it. Put a 5 gallon bucket on a table, warm up 18 inches of pipe, and gently wrap it

Re: Ideas For Holding Copper Water Pipe Fitting
The PVC won't kink if I do this? If prone to kinking, would filling with sand first, and then heating and bending prevent kinking? Or would the sand act as a heat sink. I guessing a heat gun would be

Re: Ideas For Holding Copper Water Pipe Fitting
If I understand the picture, you need about a 95 to 100 degree bend. With pvc you can heat it up and bend it how you want, then let it cool. 4x6bandsaw@...> wrote:

I will not use poly tubing! That is what was originally installed, and why I have to replace it. The poly tubing softens with age and kinks and sags. Both cause the condensate water to back up in the

Copper will stain the siding, use poly tubing and use ss screws and ss brackets to hold the tubing. [4x6bandsaw] <4x6bandsaw@...> wrote:
