Re: Kaeser Airtower

 

My next door neighbor is a compressor tech. He services Kaiser, Quincy, IR etc. He would tell you the same thing. You'll kill a very expensive screw in a year or two. I worked in a shop with a 10 HP Kaiser, but we had 3 people in the finishing department, and potentially several other DA sanders running. That was borderline enough use for it.

Get a 60-80 gallon upright Quincy. They're pretty quiet, and you'll be happy.

thanks for the exploded parts diagram.? i would not be surprised if my machine is like that.? in talking with ron he only mentioned the one urethane coated rubber friction wheel so he seems to believe that is the way it was built.

I just used graph paper and little scaled cut outs of eat tool¡¯s footprint and ¡°board run¡± to lay out my recent build.

Can¡¯t stress enough the consideration of material flow. ?Raw material comes in, gets stored, goes through steps to make it smaller, gets finished, and then leaves.

Consider the ¡°flow¡± of large boards and sheets as well as finished pieces.

My shop is a rectangle, but it¡¯s a ¡°u¡± shape in that materials come in the bottom left, go through breakdown and primary shaping (or to the CNC), then ¡°right¡± across tk assembly, then back towards the door for finishing. ?Spray booth is the last piece I¡¯m adding.

How high are your ceilings? Having them taller provides obvious advantages but some downsides too -- cost of cooling/heating is one -- but it does open things up visually / mentally in terms of feeling of spaciousness. I went from 8' to 14' ceilings in my workshop remodel and love them!

Extend your short beam that¡¯s closest to the blade guard and add two sets of the linear bearings spaced 12¡± to 16¡± apart and it will be worlds more stable. The plastic UHMW bearinsg they use with 8020 are a bit sloppy. If you really want nice movement, purchase some linear rails and trucks off ebay and integrate those.

i do not know how the wall will look with gloss paint but sure would be easy to clean. i think i have satin. white for ceiling and a light color for walls but dust does adhere to the wall.

Re: The Annex workshop addition

 

Hi Tom,?

I am certainly playing with putting the dust collector in a basement below and then popping up once and having overhead runs everywhere to allow for changes. ?

Your system sounds really dialed and clean. ?I really like the idea of a very bright space that the white ceiling would provide!?

Thanks so much,?

In Wichita I would be, but you can always find a dryer. Good industrial ones can be had used, or dare I say it, Harbor Freight sells one and I know quite a few folks that have used them and they seem to work well. Again, CFM capacity will make the difference on what unit you go looking for.
