I have a Clearview, not the max but the standard one with a 5 hp motor.? I used 6¡± sewer and drain pvc pipe for mine since the thinner wall give me 1 square inch more cross section area.? It will suck up a 16¡¯ tape measure real nice!? I use manual blast gates from Clearview.? I am a hobbyist so it is not important to have an automatic system.? I do run as close to the machine as I can, then use 6¡± flex hose and a furnace pipe reducer to get to the 4¡± or 5¡± machine openings.? I found that by using the large hose clamps (bought from Menards in the plumbing department) with a wood spacer from the wall or ceiling I can drill a hole in the band clamp to fasten it to the spacer block with a dry wall screw and then tighten the band screw around the pvc.? It is reasonable priced and works well to support the pipe and go around the fittings too.? I attached a picture, but am not sure if it will post. ? Kim ?

Re: Agazzani. 24 inch bandsaw help needed
Here's what the back of mine looks like. The knob on the right (in the middle of the saw back) with the black lever behind it is the knob that tilts the top wheel front and back to tune where the blade rides on the wheels. The black lever allows you to lock in place.

Re: Start Capacitor Value
Laguna replied that they have replacement cap in stock for $45 plus shipping. So it took another back and forth to eventually confirm that indeed cap is 50uF as shown on motor label.
In this case Mouser was the best place with only $7.99 for 2nd day shipping. Polypropylene film cap was $16.

Thanks for the feedback. I suspect the same, i.e., label has the start cap value. Not sure why the field name ¡°cond¡± - likely stands for conditioning. Not sure know what else could it be. Anyhow, I thought the person at laguna would be able to confirm on phone but no such luck, need to wait for the tech dept to respond.
Mine is a two wire leaded, without terminals. I have found similar sized ones on the sites i have ordered from before however the dia is 45mm vs 50mm. So still looking. I had checked newark but not the other site you sent so will check them out. BTW, polypropylene caps are more robust (usually specified for run caps) but I try to use them for start cap as well.
I was hoping to get a confirmation by end of day yesterday. I think it is low risk to order it based upon label value but I may wait till monday.

I chose the model based on the correct specs but also the physical dimensions so it would mount the same way on my motor.

I have been very happy with my Ecogate automatic blast gates and controller. ?Plenty of information here including some videos toward the end of the album that discuss the Ecogate controller and the sensor for the machines: ?? The schematic diagram details how I transition from imperial pipe to blast gate to metric flex hose.
I have four left over NIB 4¡± Ecogate blast gates if you¡¯re interested. ?DM me if you are.

I have pneumatic gates and like them a lot but they aren't a high priority.? You do want a gate at every machine.? You may find you can leave a smaller gate open downstream to add flow to the main but usually a 5 hp and under system doesn't have enough cfm
to allow for many ports to remain open.? Gates do restrict flow which is why I don't use 4" much.? Dave

Re: Sharpening tablesaw blades
We send our blades out to W.D. Quinn Saw in St. Louis. They are a blade manufacturer also. Their process is highly automated and does a great job. They are in the Speedee Delivery area for us so it's easy.
