Re: Garth Multipress vs Soukup Press
Hey, I think I recognize a couple of those projects Joe...
|
I have a new K 500 S arriving in a week and I wanted to order blades in advance. Does the saw come with any blades? I purchased a machine already on the boat and the invoice didn't specify any blades but I thought they might come with one anyway. If not I would like to order a general purpose saw blade and scoring blade.

Hi Jay,
I think the first thing needed for pretty much any compressor installation is an automatic drain valve. ?As moisture (and oil) condenses and gathers on the interior walls of the compressor tank, the liquids run down to the bottom of the tank where one will find a conveniently located drain valve. ?It is so conveniently located that many of us forget to use it until there is a significant accumulation of liquid, at which point we have already ruined a finish we are applying, or already pumped water through several tools.
To help minimize the impact water and oil have on our tools and projects I installed an automatic drain valve in place of the not so convenient drain valve. ?There are a number of types and sizes available. ?Here is one I found on Amazon. ?Automatically draining the condensed moisture will reduce the need for an air dryer or desiccant moisture traps.
Good luck,
Alex

A great way to honor your Dad and we are grateful for his service. Good job on design and execution. The flags in opposing directions on the 2 cabinets caught my attention.

I would look used for a refrigerated air dryer, worst case, you can get new from Harbor Freight for $500…. If you get a 20% discount it’s even cheaper.

Hi, I am using a 3.5HP Quincy Air compressor w/60 gallon tank in my home shop and looking at air treatment options. The compressor is primarily used for the CNC tool changer which has its own dedicated separator at machine, I also need air for pneumatic clamps on assembly table and pocket hole machine, I might use air for a paint gun later. Aside from filter and regulator what are you guys using for removing or preventing moisture from air lines? I don't think I need super dry air such as fine finishing I only need to ensure I don't push excessive moisture into pneumatic devices. There is a higher end separator for $900 water/oil/carbon/regulator or mixed review amazon models for $200 that might be good enough, or refrigerated air dryers at that same price of $1,000 or so for my CFM.? I like set and forget but I don't mind recharging beads periodically based on my use likely a long time between those intervals.

Re: Hammer and Oneida Supercell
Don't get sucked into the sales hype. 5-hp is 5-hp.? Horse Power = flow x pressure x factor.?
A vacuum pump (blower) with high pressure capacity will have low flow capacity.? Flow is required to keep material suspended in the air stream.? Higher flow and more static loss is produced by smaller pipe.? Larger pipe is less prone to clogs.? System losses like vertical lift, direction change (elbows), hose with its internal rough surface and joints should be minimized. Place the collector as close as possible to the largest load which is typically the planer.?
I have a 4-hp blower and 5" pipe system connected to 120mm (4.7") dia ports.? The longest run from the planer is about 10' of lift, 30' of run, 8' of hose and about 3 each 90 deg elbows.? Works well.? No problems.
The Supercell looks like a neat and tidy system but $2500 for 5-hp capacity is a premium price.

Re: Hammer and Oneida Supercell
SirRey,?
I used to use a MiniGorilla with ~12' of 5" flex hose with my KF700 and A3-41 (and other machines). Rated at 580 cfm @ 2" SP, the Mini Gorilla kept up but only just barely. Also, I regularly overfilled the 22 gallon bin when thickness planing or running the shaper. While it has a higher static pressure, it looks like the SuperCell has a lower CFM and a smaller bin. So, I'd perform a very careful evaluation of whether you'd be overfilling the SuperCell regularly. When the bin overflows, the chips/dust get pushed directly to the filter, which becomes a time consuming and messy affair.?
Have you considered the RL125 or RL140? ?Admittedly more expensive, but I suspect that they'd keep up with your K3 and A3-31 with no problem, plus you'd get a ~50 gallon bin.?

Re: Hammer and Oneida Supercell
Steve, I used extensive runs of 4” hand duct with my Supercell; Oneida sells packages of it with the Supercell specifically in mind. Anywhere you do use flex you need to use their extra-stiff 4” line due to the higher suction.
SirRey, see the previous Supercell discussion; you’ll find it informative.?

Re: Hammer and Oneida Supercell
What's your ceiling height limit, and are you okay with a 35 gallon drum?? I have both a K3 and an A3-31 but I run an Oneida V-3000 with 35 gallon drum in my basement shop with a fairly low ceiling height.? The motor did have to go in between the joists during installation, but currently sits below the bottom of the joists.
I looked at the Supercell but went with the V-3000 because I wanted to run hard duct work.? I don't think the Supercell is really made for that.? Even though I'm in a small basement shop my layout forces me to have most of my tools up against the wall that is opposite where I installed my DC.? Before I got the Oneida I would just run flex hose across the floor from tool-to-tool, which means I was stepping over the hose every time I used the A3-31.? So when I installed the V-3000 I piped hard duct up between one of the joists that runs across the shop (and above HVAC return ducts); now the DC lines are behind the tools when I use them, making my workflow much easier.
So you might be able to get away with a V-3000 if you have the height (and monetary) budget and are thinking about possibly running hard duct work.

Hammer and Oneida Supercell
Anyone out there using a Oneida Supercell with a Hammer K3 Winner or A3-31 or felder saws / joiner planers?? Just curious how the performance is?? Looking for something for my Garage as I use to have a Oneida V-5000 but it's to tall for my new garage.?
|
If you don't make a lot of dust on a regular basis, a much cheaper alternative to the supercell with very similar capabilities is the CamVac 386-6.?I found the camvac to do an excellent job at getting chips and dust out of a Hammer B3, A3-31, cabinet saw, a 14-inch euro-style bandsaw, and even keeps the miter saw quite clean, while also keeping dust out of the air.?
The real downsides to the CamVac 386-6 vs the supercell are capacity and the full bin light but it was 1/3rd the price of the Super Cell and rolls under the wing of my B3 when not in use.
