My hose ends up twisting and not falling into the hose holder properly. It slowly twists more and more as the machine travels along the Y axis it seems.
I’m thinking about just suspending it from the ceiling using some spring balancers just to get the hose out of the way completely. Has anyone else suspended their house and power wires instead of having the umbilical cord of the side of the machine.
When I put my hose on I had this issue. Not to this extreme but my hose is a different type. I took and zip tied the hose at the dust shoe, turned the dust collector on and while it was running I laid my hose out and zip tied to the top of the core, then the core wires along with the hose into the hose holders. Hopefully all of that made some kind of sense. Right now you don’t have the hose tied to the top of the core at all, there are some zip tie holes there just for that reason.
I did have the hose ziptied down to the core at one point, I don’t remember why I cut it. I will try adding that back to see if it help. I need redo my wiring because I don’t have enough length to run along with the hose at the moment.
Do you have a grounding wire running along you’re hose as well? And if you do, did it help when cutting the PVC to keep the chips from sticking to the outside due to static?
My hose has a wire built into it already and I use that for grounding. I don’t remember any hanging on the outside at all, but I wasn’t really looking for it either.
Ohh, the embedded wire didnt even come to mind when I was thinking of how to ground the hose. I would think mine probably has a similar wire, guess I’ll do some surgery when I get home. I’m using a shop vac hose, its pretty rigid and doesn’t allow for a ton of manipulation. The one you have looks like it would work a lot better.
Most of the shop vac hoses are all plastic and yes very rigid. A hose like I posted would be much better for running on the machine and its easy to print an adaptor to hook up to your shop vac
Probably the same reason I have 6 cordless drills/drivers/impact drivers- quick change between activities.
I have one of the Ryobi Airstrkes like that one, and they come in different configurations for different size and types of nails (brads vs roofing vs who knows what).
You think there is only four? I think there are 7 total, different guages of nail, one of them is for staples, have the battery powered one (If you use a nail gun semi regularly get a battery powered one, its so worth it). There’s a framing nailer off it its own case as well.
You can’t just run a different sized nail in the same gun. Each gun has its own gauge it can use (but can support different lengths). I have a 16ga, 18ga, and a staple gun.
