The pump I ended up buying claims it pulls 5 CFM . I sucks the reservoirs dry pretty durned fast. I made up one of these systems: <http://www.joewoodworker.com/veneering/EVS/concept.htm>. Seems to be pretty efficient. I've got a similar issue on my hold down bed. I ran a bead of silly cone around the joint yesterday afternoon before I called knock it off. Hopefully, the goop found the leak and sealed it off. >caulk. > > >I have had one or two of those, very cheap ($12) Japanese made at the time >(1965).

I'm going to stay active on the list anyway. Y'all are a great bunch of folks, and I've enjoyed the back and forth of this list. I also get links to machines that I can drool over like Stuart's and Kirk's. I'm hoping once I get going here, now that the main machine build is finished and now just tweaking and debugging the machine, maybe I can help out with some of the programming. > >I've been hand planing each of those 6 strips per section - butt and > >2 tips for a total of 18 strips.

Be nice to be able to turn out enough rods in a year to make a living at it... ;-) Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
