Re: What sandpaper grits to order?
I don't go above 120 on the little Rigid but use it mainly to shape sand.? On the widebelts I don't go higher than 180.? The oscillation and platen give a little better finish than the grit would suggest and 180 turns into 220 after a few passes so that is
as far as I go.? If I want a higher polish type sand I use the ROS.? 150 or 180 off the planer is what I use most often.? With high grits you need to be very exact in setting the depth as you can only err a few thou before screwing up the paper.? Dave

I have the Northstate 16” WB sander. Even though manual says 16” belt I received it with 17” wide belts and I do not see anything wrong with the width. This is a freebie question, please let me know if you have any suggestions?
Okay, so this WBS is new to me and I received it with 80, 120 & 150 belts. 120 & 150 seem close. Planning to order 60, 120 & 220. Sound good?
I also just bought rigid oscillating sander
Came with 80 grit on belt and drums. Klingspor has a set of 60, 100 & 150. Do I need any higher grits?
On belt I am ordering 40, 80, 150 & 220. Sounds good?
As far as materials go, solid soft & hard woods, ply and occasional metals on the rigid.
Thanks,
Imran

Re: OT: Spray Gun Packing Material
I have.? If you start clicking on the different guns, you'll find
that most of the gasket kits are "no longer available."? It
appears that parts that you break or lose (triggers, bowls, etc.)
-- i.e. parts you don't need often -- are still available, but
simple maintenance parts are not.? I looked at all of their
current designs, guessing that this part might be interchangeable
and tried to find the maintenance kits.? It wasn't available for
any of them.? Which basically tells me:? never by another tool
made by Campbell Hausfeld unless you assume it to be disposable.
That said, it appears some of the fluid control kits are
available, which do include the packing material -- along with a
bunch of metal parts I don't need.? I think I'm going to start by
cutting some felt and seeing it that works better than the o ring
I'm using.

Re: OT: Spray Gun Packing Material
Agreed - I have guns with either teflon or HDPE/uhmw packing, but it seems strange the part can't still be ordered more easily than "making something work".

Re: OT: Spray Gun Packing Material
Every manufacturer seems to make a different packing nut for their needle. Without seeing the part its hard to help but a piece of heavy?felt or piece of thick leather might help. Just pierce the material and let the needle do the sizing. My guns use teflon seals that are only cleanable, when worn have to be replaced.

The packing material around the needle has deteriorated.? I've

great.? Unfortunately, it appears Campbell Hausfeld doesn't bother to
sell replacement parts any more (I've looked).
Does spray gun packing come in standards sizes?? Alternatively, can you
get it by the sheet?? It occurs to me that I could laser cut a new part
if I just had some of the raw material. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely
certain what it is.? It seems like some sort of felt, but the old one is
too far gone to really figure it out.
Anybody thoughts?

hate to throw it away a perfectly good tool for want of a 25 cent part.)

i really wanted to go to IDF this year being back east, I have been told that it is bigger and better than Vegas, which I have done twice now. I will skip this go around and maybe next time.

Dave, I will consider IWF (or any other large gathering) when something definitive changes on the medical side, like: - an effective treatment for Covid-19
- a vaccine to provide immunity to Covid-19
- herd immunity across the USA
None of those conditions exist today, or are likely to by IWF.
I'm curious what everybody's thoughts are about attending IWF this year?? I just received an email saying it's still a go and 91 days away.? SWMBO isn't overly excited about the prospect so I may be out.
?I wonder if there will be IWF discounts for those not wanting to attend during this pandemic?? Post them if you hear about any. ?Dave

Call me a risk taker, I registered for IWF today. I’m not going to let Covid rule my life. I’m looking forward to the show and hopeful that not too many vendors will pull out.

On the IWF Website, in their "COVID Preparedness" section, they have a link to "Safety Policies and Procedures" at the Georgia World Congress Center venue, and at the top of that page it says:
"In light of the current COVID-19 situation, and in partnership with Governor Kemp, Georgia World Congress Center Authority is converting an exhibit hall within Building A of the convention center into a 200-bed alternate care facility in anticipation of treatment of COVID-19 patients with mild to moderate (non-ICU) illness levels excluding ventilator support. "
Very reassuring to IWF attendees no doubt. If you come down with COVID19, just walk over to?Building A?and get a bed ;-)

Oh! BTW I have vario4 on the KF so it is bigger than the 3 wheel PF in video.

If you look at the stopped video, the feeder horizontal tube can be rotated about the vertical so that the PF frame touches the machine chassis. I used to have a 3/4” scrap in between the chassis and PF frame as the weight of the PF is still there and I did not want metal to metal rubbing under vibration. KF is now being used as a shaper and I may not even have room to drop the PF down otherwise I would take a pic.

I'm with David and Alex on this. I'm in no hurry to be in a convention center with that many people. Much more important events in my life have already been cancelled for this summer already. We've all got vulnerable people that are close
to us, even if we are invincible ourselves. We need to think of them now.

It’s the cf741. If I turn it sideways after taking it down I can gain another 4 inches of space.
