Re: Articulating Shop Light
I looked into medical lights and didn¡¯t like what I found for cost. Several thousand bucks, which is ok but I wanted a light I could use across the shop to help my aging eyes with joinery and hand tool work. Also looked at Hoffman task and inspection lights. Nice as well but I didn¡¯t find the mounting options ideal for ceiling mount. So I needed them to be something I could afford 10-15 of. I settled on cheaper studio lights. not dust rated mind you but I hang them off the ceiling off joists using any of the endlessly available studio mounts using a 5/8th stud and receiver. Impact brand wall/ceiling mount paired with an impact magic arm are what I settled on. The manfrotto magic arm is slightly more sturdy but not worth the extra cost. I ended up with aputure amaran 200x s lights which output about 25000 lumen, if I am recalling correctly. Dimmable, Bluetooth controllable, 200w led. It They are like $350 and work great for working and also couple with bowens mount light modifiers, umbrellas, narrow beam spot light adapters like fresnel, barn doors, or reflectors. Hard or soft diffuse lighting is possible. Obviously they are good for filming your work if that¡¯s your interest. There are also fb adjustable ones that aren¡¯t as bright and cost more; these are white balance adjustable. Machines I set to 4000k, hand work at night I approach tungsten. Filming in 4k /24 I set them to 3200.?
more expensive models meant for production work are going to be dust resistant, but I run a clean enough shop and can air blast them clean if needed. Let you know if they all die or catch on fire in a few months.
Oh these are also app controlled so you can save and set a scene instantly. I think I¡¯m approaching 1m lumens in 800 square feet when everything is on. My eyes love the extra cri. The difference between 80 and 95 cri is the difference between my eyes tolerating light and feeling great. Anecdotally.

Re: Interesting Feeder for Smaller Saws and Router Table
Guys, I have been lucky with no leaks on vario4 when it was upside down on tilt bracket for many yrs. However, some have reported leaks here (IIRC, F48) due to the seal drying up during storage.

Hello,
I know if 10 people answer, I'll get 20 answers to my below question with probably a fair number saying it depends. But, I'll ask anyway.
I am adding 1200 sq. ft. onto my existing 1750 sq. ft. shop and want to incorporate in a small, enclosed one-man office (something I don't have right now). All I'll likely have in it is a small desk, filing cabinet, project board, and a place for my network rack that is out of the shop environment. I don't want to undersize it but don't want to take up a more floor space than necessary. That all said, for those of you that have a dedicated shop office, how big is it and thoughts you might have on whether you should have gone bigger, smaller, etc. Thanks.

John,
Where do you see the 30mm arbor version in the USA??

Looks like it is a great alternative to get the dado capability on the slider. Basically, it can cut dado between 6mm to 20mm. It covers the range of Felder two dado cutters. It is only $120, already sold out.
Of course, you need to have the 30 mm arbor and 2 pin holes bored.

Re: Articulating Shop Light
Larry,
I re-read your original post again. Your situation may be different but I move my drill press light all the times all around the chuck. This may be easier done with a dedicated light at the DP vs an overhead where your own self is sometimes in the way.
|
My shaper sits under the stairs which are 4¡¯ wide, so shop light mounted 10¡¯ high does not come in well. I just mounted two 4¡¯ long single tube LED fixtures, one on each side of the spindle. This machine has the best light in my shop.
I also had to add dedicated light to my miter saw once I built a dust collection box around it. I added a fixed light on left side but an clamp on gooseneck on the right because the motor housing created shadow with a fixed light.
So just throwing out some ideas, that may or may not be helpful in your situation.

Thanks Brian...I'll take a look at Marketplace and other areas for a dentist light...that could certainly work. It might also add to a new income string if I can find a suitable chair! ;)

Re: Articulating Shop Light
Hi Imran,
I have seen these before and I might be able to incorporate a few into my shop. Right now I am looking for an articulating arm set-up but this could possible work as the light at the end of whatever arm I end up with (shop made or purchased).

Re: CMT Orange 8" Locked Dado Pro Blade Set
Ok, I did not know you have the 30mm arbor European version.?
Talk to a saw blade manufacturer or shop providing blade sharpening service.

James - it already has 30mm center hole, it just missing the pin holes

Re: CMT Orange 8" Locked Dado Pro Blade Set
Talk to a saw blade manufacturer. The cost to bore 30mm and pin holes may be more than the sale price ($120) of the CMT blade now.
James
I wonder what would be the cost to bore the pin holes (2 blades, 3 spacers and maybe the shims as well)?
It might make it more expensive than just buying a dado set from Ridge or Forest?
|
I am adding Felder DRO to the rip fence as well to my order (and commission to the saw).
my shop is 25¡¯x20¡¯ so I think to save some space and do what David did (and save something like $300-$400). Get the 80cm rip fence with the overhead blade that is capable of cutting 125cm. The overhead for the 700 series is adjustable so I can start with one configuration and if I want I can extend it if needed.
