Re: Recommended pedestal drill press
Bob,
Any chance you could post a few pictures of your setup, I’d like to see your roll around.
Text if that’s easier to 316 393-1851.
Thanks,

Re: Recommended pedestal drill press
I have a full size press on a roll around. Not close to a tipping problem. Can always add weight down low as well. I did this on a bandsaw base by pouring a small slab of concrete to lower cg.

Dave,
My current Delta drill press is on a mobile base, I move it into the main area of the shop for use. I’d be concerned that a new full size press would be too top heavy to roll around and I don’t think I’d ever use the full height.
A bench top would give me good storage underneath.

Re: Recommended pedestal drill press
Tom, ? Mobile drill press? Why would you need to have it mobile?? All of my tools can be moved around.? I built a platform for mine so it can be moved with my narrow fork pallet jack...but I never move it. Dave Davies

Re: RL200 vs Cyclone style dust collector
See the clear vinyl hose? There's a valve to adjust open to equalize pressure on both sides of liner to prevent the problem. Valve closed when no liner to prevent a recirculating load.
I have donaldson torit cyclone with the pants splitting to two 8 inch drops into 55 gallon drums.? I have the lid clamped to the barrel (seal under the lip of the lid).? Per the Donaldson people, to get proper separation, it needs to be airtight (pun intended Mac).? I don't understand? the transition from cyclone to bag without a clamp as Mac described it.

Oops.? I mistyped. 2025.? I bought it from an auction.? No options but it works well and is solid.? I previously had a belt driven Powermatic and the belts would slip under load.? No issues with this beast. Dave Davies?

Re: Eccentric clamp alternatives?
Wade like this?? I make the mount and shaft that twists and looks in the mount. I also make a manifold for air distribution like a slider with quick connects . Mac,,

? Hi Aaron,
Thank you very much for the clamp writeup as well. ?Great info here! ?
I wonder if they could ever create a threaded end on this clamp that could be swapped out so you can use the same clamp body for either T-nut anchor scenario, or switch to use in a hole to anchor to your bench too. ?Dual purpose clamp in one. ??
Thx,
Wade

?Hi Wade, The Harvey Compass build quality is excellent and it is definitely as good as it looks on the website pictures (with the exception of the stock t-slot nut, lol). Some observations.? The Compass has to be positioned slightly at an angle so that the rear leg does not collapse into the t-slot.? It takes longer to do clamping/release operations when compared to the Kreg (but it's not really bad).? The Kreg quick-clamp and quick-release mechanism is super fast.? However, you can clamp down a very small piece against the fence like the following (something the Kreg clamps have a problem with): <IMG_1173.jpg> The short leg has a reach that is just under the Kreg 3".? The long leg reach is about the same as the Kreg 6": <IMG_1174.jpg> <IMG_1175.jpg> The max height of the short leg is about 4-1/2".? The max height of the long leg is about 2-3/16". <IMG_1177.jpg> <IMG_1176.jpg> In the end, I'm very happy with the Harvey Compass clamp and it's my primary use clamp.? I will pull out a Kreg now and then for a particular scenario and I'm always using the Kreg 6" as a reach-over on the cross-cut fence. -Aaron

Re: RL200 vs Cyclone style dust collector
Brian,? You did not mention the cyclone you are using. For small shops the ClearVue cyclone is the best, safest, cleanest system available. Due to its superior design (developed by Bill Pence), I rarely need to clean my filters, and my plastic garbage bag liner in my large dust bin never gets “sucked up”. I strongly recommend you put ClearVue on the top of your list. Chris Rozycki?

I've got an RL160 which works great with my hobbyist usage. I generally only operate one machine at a time and it has no problem moving material with a 6" ceiling-mounted Nordfab piping system. You still have to keep an eye on the bins. Once they get full it's a huge pain to clean the filters. However, they do hold a lot of material.?

Re: RL200 vs Cyclone style dust collectorn
In my case, the sleeve goes inside the bag. Its height is close to the drum height, so even if the empty bag lifts it cannot move up much because the sleeve hit the lid/cover.
The issue with my homemade one was that I tried to make it with the taper of the drum and the material was not stiff enough. Can’t recall what I made it out off, it was more than 10 yrs ago.?

I tried a homemade version of this that worked okay. I don’t use cyclone as my main dust collector so did not follow thru but I was going to try this product. This however is only available for 30-39 gal size.
