yes the sander is homemade i had issues with killing the store boughts, even an older delta with a 3hp shaper motor...this one has dodge pillow blocks and an old alice-chalmers 5hp motor....
joe, the maid analogy is close....i`ve had one of the framers flunkies helpin` so one of his duties is to clean.....
jim,

brian,
the guys at minimax get treated just like ya`ll or any friend.
frank,
i wouldn`t know how to draw up a floor plan on the computer if you offered me money ......sorry...the building is 40x100 with 20 ft off the end for office-n-showroom.
paul,
you`re always welcome to stop by and use any piece i have.....sorry `bout the drive.
cecil,
there`s lotsa years of labor tied up there! believe me when i say that i look forward to the day i choose to downsize and build what i feel like instead of what other folks want
mark,
the ras has a 5hp motor, thanks!
ian,
yeah it stays pretty dusty here the building is 4k ft. sitting on 2-1/2 acres outside the city limits,(no zoning regs!)
1) the green machine is an old cutterhead grinder that i converted to a profile grinder.
2)the vacuum set up is a tripple venturi unit backed up by a small diaphram pump. the bags are 6x16--4x8 (2)-- and a 2x24 ft stair bag. yes i pull vacuum to a few parts of the shop to use for holddown fixtures.
3) the pin router is a rehab project...9hp main motor, its own vacuum pump&power feed...picked it up for 1k delivered but the electrics need work. it has oil mist spindle lubrication which was a 2500$ option when it was new, all the motors fire up but the vacuum pump needs new rings......maybe this summer?
4)the ol` delta saw is a 7-1/2 hp unit with a 1 hp feeder.
5)the shaper, (spindle moulder) does have a cast iron sliding table for tennoning work, if i have some time today i`ll switch it around and take pictures. it`ll take a 12" diameter cutter in the table!
6) the scroll saw just landed there last time it was used
now i need to read last nights postings so i can get to work.....thanks ya`ll!
