Well, I have a project ahead of me. I was able to pick up a 1 micron 14" x 42" hood at the Rockler outlet by me for $15. Based on my measurement (without removing the bag), it appears the circumference is about 60", so 60" / 3.14 (pie) = about 19" diameter. It appears that t...

I don't know why but I doubt that this is a spammer. I believe he is just an individual unfamiliar with the marketing restrictions of this site who needs to sell off his shop equipment. Maybe I am just soft but I am rapidly getting to the point where I may be in the same boat. I feel for him. Dusty...

I got my 'weather stripping' from SS. Already cut to size!:D Pretty reasonable as I recall. I think the dust right separator should work, but will reduce static pressure slightly(similar to longer hoses/joints/etc.). It doesn't look to expensive from the catalog. I think maybe $5-$6 for all 3 piece...

So I take it the big thing is to seal the dust collection chamber from the motor. Basically, keep the dust in the collection chamber and the motor sealed off so no dust gets in. I take it the vents on the back allow for fresh air and cooling to the motor. I'm hoping to get a chance to get it outside...

DC3300 Maintenance and Repair

I have a newly acquired DC3300. Long story is I think I got a great deal on an older collector. Wasn't sure how much I wanted to spend on an 1989 model, but the guy sold it to me for $40. Figure I couldn't loose at that price. It does need some work though. The foam seals fall apart with the slighte...

As I said there is a lot more money in car than Edmunds and others suggest there is. I worked at GM, Ford and Chrysler plants and saw the execs get delivery of their employee discount cars. These guys could sell their cars after keeping them for some period of time. I was never able to find a car t...

You are right with your formula but there is more to it. Invoice - rebates - hold backs - floor plan Some hold backs are defined a 1.5% for advertizing and 1.5% for mechanical handling. But there is insurance hold back, incentative hold backs, volumn holdback and financing hold back. Floor plans ar...

Invoice price is the official cost of the car. It is what the dealer shows you as a negotiating tool. However, there are incentives, such as rebates and holdbacks. Commercials and ads often have the language of "rebates to dealer" since they apply them to reduce the cost of the car. Holdba...
