Festool and 50Hz

 

Richard,
How do you deal with running the pump on 60Hz versus 50Hz?

I really would like to pick up one of their smaller miter saws (Symmetric SYM 70 E) but am worried about using it on 60Hz power.

Thanks,
John

I know the VACS is not available in the US (yet) but there are many similar things around. Cost me about $2,000 all in with the pump, two swivel bases and 6 different vacuum heads. Probably the best investment I've ever made in the shop. My cheapo cart was about $400 - not so good - I'de prefer a hospital bed style arrangement.

I think if I had the money I'd be tempted by one the Vakuucars, but I agree that with the ingenuity of the FOG it should be easy to go the home-made route.

Richard.



Re: metal glanz MSDS any one?

 

Wow, learned a lot today.... repeated exposure to human skin? Crap, maybe that's why I twitch.... I don't know how I'm going to live to be an old man.... exposed to so many chemicals in my younger days... the place that did our x-ray and penetrant inspection had big vats of tri-chlor, we used to stand over them and wash parts, fumes were nasty, could get a good high real quick.

Then there was the occasional gulp of gasoline when you were siphoning out of dad's truck to fill up your dirt bike.... oh... model airplane glue.... ahhh.. the memories... that are fading fast.... :-)

Formulation

WD-40's formula is a trade secret. The product is not patented, to avoid completely disclosing its ingredients.[2][3] WD-40's main ingredients, according to U.S. Material Safety Data Sheet information, are:
51% Stoddard solvent (i.e., mineral spirits: primarily hexane, somewhat similar to kerosene)
25% Liquefied petroleum gas (presumably as a propellant; carbon dioxide is now used instead to reduce WD-40's considerable flammability)
15+% Mineral oil (light lubricating oil)
10-% Inert ingredients

The German version of the mandatory EU safety sheet lists the following safety-relevant ingredients:
60�80% Heavy Naphtha (petroleum product), hydrogen treated
1�5% Carbon dioxide

It further lists flammability and effects to the human skin when repeatedly exposed to WD-40 as risks when using WD-40. Nitrile rubber gloves and safety glasses should be used. Water is unsuitable for extinguishing burning WD-40.

There is a popular urban legend that the key ingredient in WD-40 is fish oil.[4] However, the WD-40 web site states that it is a petroleum based product.[5][6]

Re: metal glanz MSDS any one?

 

My Dad had a car repair shop that I began "working" at when 5. He never cared much for WD-40, and instead used a similar but he felt superior CRC product, 5-56.

The 5-56 name changed several times thought the years, and the current version is called CRC Power Lube. That's what I use for what most folks use WD-40 for. Works better, but equally important to my nose, doesn't stink.

I just navigated through the CRC site and see they've got lots of specialized products, including 6-56, which seems to be a Marine version of the Power Lube.

If you have a special application in mind, you might consider the CNC product designed for that use.


Be well,

Lance

We used to buy WD-40 by the 5 gallon pail for use in the machine shop, it works great as a lubricant for machining and tapping aluminum.

Straight Kerosene works too, but not quite as well, and when you get into volume pricing, there wan't a huge difference. The "very expensive" spray people buy is because of convenience, what else can you get in a nice handy spray bottle at any box store? Good marketing ploy on their part.

Re: How to order the dado blade set for c331

 

No problem, they can be expensive, so I generally keep a 2 flute carbide endmill that's a little worse for wear for trying to plunge thru hard materials. Without a drill point though, it can kind of try to shake the machine around a bit if it's not very rigid.

Re: How to order the dado blade set for c331

 

Ah... just the pin holes? Piece of cake, the holes don't have to be accurate, so just used a carbide drill, I'd use a "hi-roc" version, straight flutes and really strong, made for drilling holes in heat treated materials. Here is what they look like:

Re: How to order the dado blade set for c331

 

Do you mean boring from 5/8" out to 30mm? That will not weaken the blades of any dado set I have ever seen. I did it on my dado set years ago. I will warn you that the particular brand I have, FS Tools, I think it is, the blade bodies were harder than hard... so the real chore was getting them bored out, maintaining centerline and sharpening the boring bar numerous times.

I have pretty much scrapped the idea of drilling the blades of my existing dado set. As one of the HSM members pointed out, it will weaken the blade and so is too risky.

Think I will have to order the hammer dado set.

I bought some of that when I got my machines 12 years ago.... still have it. It leaves a nasty residue that gets hard and sticky.
