Re: Lost One of Our Great Contributors
Ed: say hi to Bill(and the one with two userids). JPG, Again, you probably won't believe me, but I spoke to Ed Malin, telepathically before I posted what I wrote up above. I wanted to get his permission before posting that email excerpt that I shared and he did give permission. Ed wanted me to tell...

Re: Power Pro 2 touch screen problems
Sorry for the delayed response but it seems that I was inadvertently touching the screen in more than one place. Everything is working as expected just user error. Thanks for the help So glad you solved it. Is everything working as expected now? Multi-touch is a feature only on high end LCD touchsc...

Re: DC-6000 poor performance
I had looked a that info before but not closely enough because I hadn't noticed you gave the specific airspeed at each port. Thanks for pointing that out. I know now that in addition to the restriction my hose was causing I was also using the least effective opening of the 3 way port. I also realiz...

Re: DC-6000 poor performance
Thanks to both of you. Scott, I do have the STL for the chisel sharpening guide, which I got when he posted about it in the Shopsmith Owners Facebook group. I'm the one who commented on your video that I, coincidentally, also printed it in green but my print warped slightly so the bottom wasn't fla...

Re: DC-6000 poor performance
I posted this in the video description of the last video shared by RF Guy: Contact Doug via email at: douglas.techno.smith(AT)gmail(DOT)com and let him know that I sent you and that you are interested in a download of his catalog of 3D products, as well as the STL file for the chisel guide. Awesome...

Re: DC-6000 poor performance
I found another video from Scott where he talks about parts that Doug Smith has 3D printed for Shopsmith. It starts around about the 1:30 mark so easier to find than the previous video I posted. Video is below, but there is a snapshot below it showing different 3D parts Doug has printed. https://www...

Re: DC-6000 poor performance
Yeah, I was surprised by how much different hoses can affect it just on the small sampling of hoses in my shop. Glad you are seeing a difference and found at least one change you can make perhaps. Oneida keeps changing their product offerings in this area. For a while you couldn't even get any reaso...

Re: DC-6000 poor performance
I have two different Shopsmith hoses, the original black ones and the newer semi-clear ones. It has been a few years since I did some measurements on them, but I was just surprised how much better performance I got with the Oneida hose. I think the ID is a bit larger for it and the interior is a smo...

Re: DC-6000 poor performance
I appreciate the response. I did see that post, but started skimming after pg 4, to be honest. It looks like the conclusion from the chart though is that a DC-6000 should outperform my 144 CFM wet/dry vac when I'm only using a single port. It certainly doesn't feel like that, though. Yeah, if you d...

Re: DC-6000 poor performance
This has actually been discussed quite A LOT here on this forum over the last several years. So, the original DC-3300 is an anemic dust collector. I have one and switched to using my ShopVac™ vacuum with HEPA filter bags, HEPA filter cartridge in it with a ClearVue Cyclones Mini CV-06 cyclone in fro...
