i like thelatches allowing you to remove the box, good job

was just about to suggest this, i watched a video where a guy did exactly that with the outlet near his desk from the apex of the ceiling, he recorded a 10 degree difference in temp before and after, and the 12v fan is very cheap to run.

hope thats strong glue holding them together!

after years of cheap sanders i snapped and got a festool ETS EC150 , it was an arm and a leg...and i think it was worth it .its quiet, comes in a 5mm or a 3mm stroke,stops almost instantly, and works beautifully. there are too many tales of mirka sanders packing up for me to get one, although...

its surprising what you can get from charity shops in the way of old hardwood furniture, of course once you cut out screw holes, joinery, and damage its less but still worth doing, my friend brings me old hardwood pieces he gets from a local tip that people throw away , they seperate out wood...

that kit looks pretty good value for money.

as ollie syas a short course in a makerspace will give you an idea of the process and you can get advice on machines and software, youtube was my entry into cnc, lots of time spent watching tutorials on different channels.

i think your budget is too small for what you are after, if its being used daily in a makerspace id assume at least 6 or 7 thousand for a decent machine. used is a toss up, unless you get lucky, remember unless you have expert knowledge in setup and repair it can be pricey to get it up to a good...

a tracksaw will roughcut 8x4 sheets, then final cutting is a lot easier on a tablesaw, heres a guy who reviews a charnwood saw, not too expensive, he uses it for hardwood

if you prime mdf with zinzer bin primer, a light sanding between coats, the edges come out great, it dries almost instantly so doesnt take much time.

good luck lifting a machine like that up and down to the ceiling, if its 8x4 it will outweigh most of your other machines. rigidity is important in cnc, im not convinced a heavy gantry mounted vertically will keep accuracy over time, you will get uneven wear on bearings and rack and pinion or...

agreed, 360kilo is a lot to stop, id attach ropes or a winch and slowly wind it down, make your ramp out of scaffold boards 12 ft long so its a more gentle slope, or better still hire a van with tailift like clogs suggests.

3x3 custom by tamar on youtube built a hybrid bench, check her build out, seems more of what you are looking for.

yea the emails are annoying, i got a few things from them, like most companies they sell some good stuff, and some not so good stuff, do your research on the product and decide exactly what you want then look for a good price online if not locally. axminster are the same, good customer service...

try getting a decent tradesman in the west of ireland, they are as rare as hens teeth, understandable all the top guys are off chasing money in dublin, london, insert foreign city here.. what really grinds my gears is the cowboys left behind think they are any good and charge an arm and a leg ...

the link below your post recommending key blades has a 12 tooth rip blade for tracksaws

i got the kapex, yes its pricey, but dead accurate, a pleasure to use and really compact.

thats half the problem with these competition type series, the production team try to inject drama into it by time constraints, and choose contestants based on personality, if you watched this hoping to learn something it wouldnt teach you a thing. id much rather watch a youtube video showing...

you need to seal the wood first, either use a clear epoxy or sanding sealer /shellac, stops the bleeding.

thats lovely design, looks a bit tippy though i suppose theres a fair weight at the base, ok for a coffee cup at your side.
