Re: How to order the dado blade set for c331

 

The set he has already has a 30mm bore. I agree with you and drilling the 9mm pin holes would be OK.

Re: How to order the dado blade set for c331

 

Do you mean boring from 5/8" out to 30mm? That will not weaken the blades of any dado set I have ever seen. I did it on my dado set years ago. I will warn you that the particular brand I have, FS Tools, I think it is, the blade bodies were harder than hard... so the real chore was getting them bored out, maintaining centerline and sharpening the boring bar numerous times.

I have pretty much scrapped the idea of drilling the blades of my existing dado set. As one of the HSM members pointed out, it will weaken the blade and so is too risky.

Think I will have to order the hammer dado set.

Re: metal glanz MSDS any one?

 

I bought some of that when I got my machines 12 years ago.... still have it. It leaves a nasty residue that gets hard and sticky. And yes, I wipe my guideways down using either mineral spirits or WD40 sprayed on a rag, then wipe all the resulting film back off... mainly just using the fluids to dissolve any caked on dust.

Re: 15 Things I've (Sort of) Learned About Dust Collection

 

--- In felder-woodworking@..., "Bill Billick" <billick@...> wrote:
1. Yes, Nordfab does cost "at least twice as much" as other ductwork
options.
The real 'win' with Nordfab is when you get a new tool, reorganize your shop, etc. I've already had my Nordfab ductwork in 3 significantly different configurations... IMO I've already covered the cost premium.

4. Whenever I had to shorten a pipe, I used a bench-mounted 14"
metal-cutting cut-off saw to slice through the Nordfab pipes (although I
didn't cut anything wider than 6" pipes).
I used a Bosch Jigsaw with a metal blade (plunge to start the cut). It went through the steel like butter. I then used a metal file and coarse sandpaper to smooth the cut edges. This may be a good option for folks who have to cut 8" or larger ducting.

6. FYI -- In the last few months, Nordfab has introduced a new quick-clamp
for their system that provides a full 360 degree seal around the entire pipe
connection.
IMO this is a non issue with wood dust. For transporting wet debris the full seal would be valuable (remember, Nordfab is used in all kinds of applications).

9. I found a nice pair of
leather-faced gray mechanics gloves at Lowes for about $15.00 that fit like
a second skin and worked great to eliminate further cut hands.
I didn't have any sharp edges but having gloves with extra grip is helpful.

10. There are lots of different ways to hang Nordfab ductwork from your
ceiling.
One tip is to completely assemble the ductwork on the floor and then lift the assembly in chunks to the ceiling. Using the Gripple or other "noose" style mount you can lift one end, wrap the noose, and then head over to the other end and lift it to the ceiling. Using this method you can lift multiple segments at once.

14. Following another FOG recommendation, I bought an aluminum 5" duct
coupler (www.McMaster.com # 5518K14) and attached it with HVAC metal
ductwork tape to a Felder 120mm plastic quick-connector. After assembly, it
now fits both a 5" hose and the Felder 120mm port perfectly -- a very sweet
combination that looks & works great.
Norfab can make any size or shape pipe you want. For example, a custom 6" or 5" to 120mm reducer.

To John, Joe and the rest of this fine Felder group,

Although only a member of this Felder group for a matter of months, I've
garnered a great deal of information from you two and all the rest of the
group which will prove essential as I begin putting together a new shop this
coming fall. For that, I thank you all. I try to contribute what little I
can in order to earn my keep.

I stumbled upon the Barth website nearly a year ago and really liked what I
saw. When talk here turned to material handling I recalled the Vakuucar and
posted both the Barth website and, having done a bit of on the spot research
on US sources, suggested that more information could likely be had by
contact with Rangate. I've not dealt with Rangate, but all the comments from
those who have (here and elsewhere) was full of praise.

Greg has good friends here who are willing to go to bat for him. That in
itself says much good about his character. I like very much John that you
went beyond what has apparently transpired to speak to Greg directly. As Joe
says, there are two sides to every story, although I suspect there are more
than two sides to this riddle.

In no way can I interpret anything Gerald has revealed here to have been
meant with anything but the best of intentions for all concerned. Many of us
wished to have an idea of cost and configuration for the Barth goods and
Gerald took the initiative to seek out and provide what he learned. I for
one am thankful for that, and as one might think that those in the Felder
group would be high on the "likely to buy" list, one might also think a
supplier would welcome the free promotion. Evidently not, but there is much
about many things I fail to understand.

Not having seen an actual reproduction of the entire Rangate quote Gerald
received, we can now only guess as to whether there was any indication,
obvious or buried in "boilerplate" in that communication which forbid
sharing with others. If so, perhaps Gerald erred in posting, but, as John so
thankfully made clear to Greg's agreement, there was no malice aforethought.

Quoting a line from John's post, ".....Greg said that there was no legal
threat against Gerald nor will there be...." That's good news, as far as it
goes. What hasn't been revealed is if in fact Greg in any manner threatened
legal action in his communication of last night. He may have, and he may or
may not have decided to drop any intent to prosecute after consulting his
lawyers this morning. Perhaps on his own he saw things differently with the
coming of dawn.

There may also have been NO mention of attorneys whatsoever, in which case
Gerald must have created his interpretation from whole cloth in his latest
post, when asking that all trace of the sacred price list be expunged from
the record. He continues with an open and heartfelt apology to Greg and
Rangate and goes even further by mentioning that as a past customer, he's
never had a complaint. After reading that post and seeing how much of a
gentleman Gerald was in trying to make amends for his supposed misdeed, who
here believes he invented a threat?

In that post it appears Gerald has asked to be removed from the Felder group
list "so as to avoid being a bother or further possible trouble for anyone."
The man has class. However, I personally feel it would be a great loss to us
all were Gerald to exclude himself from participation in future discussions.

We all err..., even our friends. From appearances, one or both participants
in this unfortunate for all tale may have erred to some degree. One has
admitted his possible mistake in the most gracious manner. I'd like to think
that the other would also offer a direct apology if indeed one is due. This
would go a long way towards removing the pall that I for one feel has been
cast on what was a happy topic and valued supplier.

I'm done.

Best to all,

Lance

Hi All, Well this has been strange one. And like Joe I've known Greg at
Rangate for a long time. This morning Brian and I emailed Gerald asking if
he could send us the actual email that he received from Greg that implied
legal action would be taken against him. Haven't heard from Gerald as yet.
But I did call Greg at Rangate a few minutes ago to find out his side of the
story. First Greg said that there was no legal threat against Gerald nor
will there be. Second he was peeved that their quote that was just intended
for Gerald was immediately published on the FOG, but he agreed that there
was no evil purpose on the part of Gerald. I did recommend that instead of
the standard boilerplate text that appears on the bottom of so many emails
these days that most people ignore, I suggested a simple sentence or an
actual spoken statement stating the quote is for this person only.
In any case the Vkuucar is still a nifty gadget.

To the FOG List Owner(s) and anyone reading this thread.

I have just received an email from Gregory Godbout at Rangate containing a

effect, that the retail price list is protected privileged information. No
other complaint is made by him at this time other than the claim that the
price list is 'protected'.

I am unable to understand the position and believe it is in error, however
it is not my desire in life to upset anyone and if he feels so strongly I
will ask the following.

1. Will the list owner(s) remove the pricelist posting as well as any
referring to it.

2. Will the dear readers of FOG please destroy all copies of the pricelist
they have in any form, and not communicate to anyone the prices of the
Vakuucar product line.

I am a 63 year old disabled retiree and cannot afford to pursue a legal
defense of any kind at this time and will therefore hope that Mr. Godbout
will accept my apology for the unintended transgression. I truly did not
believe that circulating a retail pricelist sent to me in response to a
simple request for prices, would be something that Mr. Godbout would feel
was a secret communication of propriatory information and would see me
threatened with a ruinous lawsuit. I ask politely that he forgo such.

I will further ask the list owners to drop me from the list so as to avoid
being a bother or further possible trouble for anyone.

Gerald

PS: I have had occasion for other dealings with Rangate over time and I
believe also with Mr. Godbout regarding insert tooling. I have never had
cause for complaint.

This same thing happened to me some years ago and Felder stated that inferior material had been used and even replaced it; assuring me that the problem had been corrected.

Interesting David, thanks.

Is the premium still ribbed on the inside or flat? Seems flat would offer the least turbulence.

Dino,

Felder offers two types of flexible DC hose. One of them is single layer, ultra flexible and disintegrates in 18-36 months even if nothing is being sucked through it - just as you say. This is the version they put inside the machines to couple the pickup to the DC connector on the outside of the chassis.

Felder also sells a clear double-walled, heavy duty flexible hose that's more expensive, but is absolutely terrific - it's the only thing I use in my shop and I've been through several brands. Felder refers to this double-walled DC hose as H/SE and you can order it online from the Felder site, but I suggest you add a note to your oder that you want the heavy duty stuff when you place the order just to be sure.

Since we are talking about dust collection - BTW, great post Bill - I'll add my two cents. I have been using the ClearVu cyclone system with spiral ducting and am very pleased with it. IMO, the only thing that SUCKS more is the premium Felder collection hose. Amazing how it all of a sudden just disintegrates and there is nothing left but the wire. This same thing happened to me some years ago and Felder stated that inferior material had been used and even replaced it; assuring me that the problem had been corrected. Apparently not the case!!!

Re: Vakuucar price list - IMPORTANT

 

To John, Joe and the rest of this fine Felder group,

Although only a member of this Felder group for a matter of months, I've garnered a great deal of information from you two and all the rest of the group which will prove essential as I begin putting together a new shop this coming fall. For that, I thank you all. I try to contribute what little I can in order to earn my keep.

I stumbled upon the Barth website nearly a year ago and really liked what I saw. When talk here turned to material handling I recalled the Vakuucar and posted both the Barth website and, having done a bit of on the spot research on US sources, suggested that more information could likely be had by contact with Rangate. I've not dealt with Rangate, but all the comments from those who have (here and elsewhere) was full of praise.

Greg has good friends here who are willing to go to bat for him. That in itself says much good about his character. I like very much John that you went beyond what has apparently transpired to speak to Greg directly. As Joe says, there are two sides to every story, although I suspect there are more than two sides to this riddle.

In no way can I interpret anything Gerald has revealed here to have been meant with anything but the best of intentions for all concerned. Many of us wished to have an idea of cost and configuration for the Barth goods and Gerald took the initiative to seek out and provide what he learned. I for one am thankful for that, and as one might think that those in the Felder group would be high on the "likely to buy" list, one might also think a supplier would welcome the free promotion. Evidently not, but there is much about many things I fail to understand.

Not having seen an actual reproduction of the entire Rangate quote Gerald received, we can now only guess as to whether there was any indication, obvious or buried in "boilerplate" in that communication which forbid sharing with others. If so, perhaps Gerald erred in posting, but, as John so thankfully made clear to Greg's agreement, there was no malice aforethought.

Quoting a line from John's post, ".....Greg said that there was no legal threat against Gerald nor will there be...." That's good news, as far as it goes. What hasn't been revealed is if in fact Greg in any manner threatened legal action in his communication of last night. He may have, and he may or may not have decided to drop any intent to prosecute after consulting his lawyers this morning. Perhaps on his own he saw things differently with the coming of dawn.

There may also have been NO mention of attorneys whatsoever, in which case Gerald must have created his interpretation from whole cloth in his latest post, when asking that all trace of the sacred price list be expunged from the record. He continues with an open and heartfelt apology to Greg and Rangate and goes even further by mentioning that as a past customer, he's never had a complaint. After reading that post and seeing how much of a gentleman Gerald was in trying to make amends for his supposed misdeed, who here believes he invented a threat?

In that post it appears Gerald has asked to be removed from the Felder group list "so as to avoid being a bother or further possible trouble for anyone." The man has class. However, I personally feel it would be a great loss to us all were Gerald to exclude himself from participation in future discussions.

We all err..., even our friends. From appearances, one or both participants in this unfortunate for all tale may have erred to some degree. One has admitted his possible mistake in the most gracious manner. I'd like to think that the other would also offer a direct apology if indeed one is due. This would go a long way towards removing the pall that I for one feel has been cast on what was a happy topic and valued supplier.

I'm done.

Best to all,

Lance

Hi All, Well this has been strange one. And like Joe I've known Greg at Rangate for a long time. This morning Brian and I emailed Gerald asking if he could send us the actual email that he received from Greg that implied legal action would be taken against him. Haven't heard from Gerald as yet.
But I did call Greg at Rangate a few minutes ago to find out his side of the story. First Greg said that there was no legal threat against Gerald nor will there be. Second he was peeved that their quote that was just intended for Gerald was immediately published on the FOG, but he agreed that there was no evil purpose on the part of Gerald. I did recommend that instead of the standard boilerplate text that appears on the bottom of so many emails these days that most people ignore, I suggested a simple sentence or an actual spoken statement stating the quote is for this person only.
In any case the Vkuucar is still a nifty gadget.
Take care,
John

I know Greg Godbout as a very valuable tooling seller/adviser and also as a friend.

Mr. Ortman's experience does not fit with the Greg Godbout I know and trust and everyone should remember that there are two sides to every story.

To the FOG List Owner(s) and anyone reading this thread.

I have just received an email from Gregory Godbout at Rangate containing a notice to me that he will be checking with his attorneys regarding an action against me personally for posting the pricelist that he sent me, claiming in effect, that the retail price list is protected privileged information. No other complaint is made by him at this time other than the claim that the price list is 'protected'.

I am unable to understand the position and believe it is in error, however it is not my desire in life to upset anyone and if he feels so strongly I will ask the following.

1. Will the list owner(s) remove the pricelist posting as well as any referring to it.

2. Will the dear readers of FOG please destroy all copies of the
pricelist they have in any form, and not communicate to anyone the
prices of the Vakuucar product line.

I am a 63 year old disabled retiree and cannot afford to pursue a
legal defense of any kind at this time and will therefore hope that
Mr. Godbout will accept my apology for the unintended transgression. I truly did not believe that circulating a retail pricelist sent to me in response to a simple request for prices, would be something that Mr. Godbout would feel was a secret communication of propriatory information and would see me threatened with a ruinous lawsuit. I ask politely that he forgo such.

I will further ask the list owners to drop me from the list so as to
avoid being a bother or further possible trouble for anyone.

Gerald

PS: I have had occasion for other dealings with Rangate over time and
I believe also with Mr. Godbout regarding insert tooling. I have never had cause for complaint.
