Re: Quick question om Planer
I have done 3mm on this 941 successfully several times, i am however going to make a vacuum box sled at some point to see if I can gel better results. When i get a widebelt that would be The preferred method? Regards, Mark

I have done down to 1/4" on the planer, 1/8 just seemed to ballsy for me.

Re: Quick question om Planer
Thanks John?
That sounds like the way to do it. However I cant find the wide belt sander, Not sure where in this mess it is.
Oh wait, Its not even here yet.?

Re: Quick question om Planer
Glen I would plane half that on my Buss but the tools your talking about there is way to much distance from rollers to pressure bars and chip breakers.? Lunch box planers work good for that sort of thickness or like John said wide belt. Mac,,, Designing and building for 47 years

Re: Profil45 display error
I went through the same thing with my Profil, having to replace the digidrive positioning/control board and ending up with the same error display. ? ?I did find that that low voltage transformer inside the machine had multiple taps for the outputs and was able to bring it down by just moving a wire.

Hi Imran,
thank you for all the replies to my issue, I am sorry i did not reply I was unwell and have only just got back to my workshop and to the issues i was having
The problem was apparently an over-voltage issue relating to the replacement display being a newer model and not liking any over voltage whatsoever. In the end up i had to install an additional higher tolerance transformer to power only the display to eliminate the issue.
I now have to re calibrate everything due to the new display unit being installed and I wonder if anyone with this machine can tell me how much spindle travel they have? i.e should the spindle drop below the table completely? At its lowest setting mine still sits around 50mm above the table.
Thanks, David.

Re: Airlines for new shop
Mark,
I agree 100% with your analysis. I needed some of my line to go underground to get closer to where my cars are. PEX is absolutely not allowed to go underground because there are some bugs that will puncture it. So I did not have many choices. The advantage of the RapidAir system is the nice reasonably priced package with components that solve the need for many expensive and space consuming T's and L's and ball valves when you use copper. Each outlet has a moisture drain ball valve and everything is really well made.
BTW, PEX-AL-PEX is used in Europe for years as the standard for water supply and underfloor heating.

Re: Profil45 display error
Hi David,
My 2016 Profile 45z x-motion has about 120mm of spindle travel.
At the lowest the spindle will go it sticks up above the table 46mm to the top of the spindle cap bolt.

Re: Airlines for new shop
The RapidAir website says it's HDPE, which is also what PEX is.? There are variations of HDPE of course, and their website says theirs is different, but it might be BS.
PEX-AL-PEX is PEX with an aluminum mid layer.? PEX alone is slightly permeable to oxygen, and the AL layer prevents that.? The permeability is not enough to qualify as "leak" in a compressed air system, but it is enough to allow oxygen into water over the long haul and cause?rusting of iron components, so PEX-AL-PEX is used in such conditions.
So basically it looks like RapidAir is PEX-AL-PEX with their own branded fittings.? RapidAir is slightly more expensive than commodity PEX-AL-PEX.?
Joe,
I had to make the same decision about 2 years ago. I ended up going with Rapid Air 3/4". I have a total of 9 drops. I bought 3 Rapid Air kits from Northern Tool as it was the cheapest way to get all the pipe and accessories. It is not hard at all to straighten the pipe by hand and to use electrician EMT bending tool to make nice tight radius when you need it (rarely).
Also bought the?RapidAir Quick Coupler which are very convinient to use
For attaching to the walls I did not use the plastic clips from the kit as they seemed flimsy, instead I used EMT 1-Hole Straps
Copper is a good choice but with the length of pipes that I have and some unusual bend angles it did not make sense. These tubes are really a good modern choice for air in the shop. The plastic-aluminum-plastic structure of the pipe is far superior to PEX and cheaper and in my opinion better than copper. Also the adaptors that come in the kit are well engineered with O-rings etc.
I am very happy with the end result and I always use type L copper (blue) for water...

Re: Altendorf wins award for camera-based saw safety system
Very true on the highest end of machines..their kappa 550 with the tilting dual bevel is around $70,000 depending in what options you want..?
