Did you screw the mdf directly into plenum table? I'm considering doing this because I don't want to run my vacuum pump at night time or sometimes Also some jobs don't require vacuum. I cut small letters and they go flying into the vacuum.
Now that you have had your shop for a while, how do you like it and was it a good investment? I am actually looking at purchasing a similar garage for a wood shop. I’ve been contemplating between a pole barn a stick framed garage, and one of these “shed/garages”. I’m really leaning towards this type of garage. Any feedback you could give would be greatly appreciated!
Matt, I do like it very much. I'm glad I took the time to insulate it the way that I did. I hear the whole shop with a small electric space heater. Keeping it at about 62 degrees in the dead of winter. The electric for that cost me about $75 a month. Thanks for the question.
I just came across this video and it’s been very helpful, as I have struggled for a while now getting a proper spoil board setup. Can you tell me what you used to seal the edges of the boards?
can you describe on how you are holding the MDF to the phenolic table? Are you predrilling your phenolic table? What king of screw can you recommend to use, i.e. fine thread vs coarse, specific type screws or brand? Thank you!
Thank you. The system works great. I followed your direction fully for making the vacuum system, except mine is four zone and I added a Fuji PV8 vacuum relief valve. I used 3/4" solid surface for the vacuum table. I made the spoil board out of 1" MDF.
good work mate. In my opinion, that waist board shouldn´t be so thick. Half of that thickness would be right. Another important pois is : using a gasket between g first grid surface in all the perimeter by zones.
Great info, this gives me some great ideas. By the way the second tool path wouldn't be needed if you used a pocket allowance of just a little more than half the diameter of your surfacing bit.
cool video ..Other than a bunch of Nosy Cops an some kid that just cant drive trying to cry on some ones shoulder ! that brat would get laughed out of town where im from ! Hope the little snotty nosed girl(i think) Didnt cost ya any thing !
The video is pretty cool! I'm the guy who helped install the second half...thanks to everyone for their appreciation of our work.We always try to do the best we can for our customers.
My first CNC had a Hurricane Vac system on it. Several of those motors had gone bad over the years, and they were basically the exact same motors. They were 240v and these are 120v... I've had no problems with them so far.
Cool build! I'm curious how it's gotten on as I'm a bit worried about the cooling of the motors. Usually those vacuum motors cool themselves with the air that they're sucking through, but in this use case there's very little airflow and thus very little cooling. Have any of the motors burnt out? Also, have you ever been curious to hook those motors up in a series to get a stronger vacuum on the table? In parallel like you have now it will be able to deal with leaks better, in series it should make a slightly stronger vacuum.
Your truck & load can brightly colored, lit up like a Christmas tree but someone who should never have been trusted with a tricycle will hit you & say "😵 wul I did'n see 'um; it's his fault". (edit) Watched to end. The post-delivery inspection showed no scratches. 🤔?
I have a question... I want a she shed and the green board idea is great because I could possible see myself traveling from time to time for extended times- no heating or AC. The property behind my moms house would be great, its lake front :) Anywho, if I were trying to work some numbers what would the 12 x 36 shed cost to green drywall sqft top and walls? Any idea how to come with that estimation? I'm making a basic budget for starters. Thank you- its good looking shed be proud of your hard work! Intensely large area to accomplish sir... God Bless your back.
Makes me sad 😞 I’m dyslexic so I can never craft like him. It’s soo annoying to deal with. I suppose I could train my brain like a child but it’s too difficult 😥. I like wood work it’s beautiful 😍
