What ever size you go with just don't buy a oilless compressor. They are not worth the money for sandblasting. They have graphite rings in them that need to cool off regularily. Spend the extra money and get and oil compressor. I know when you look at the spec's they have equal or even higher cfm's ...

Yes, the propane torch is a better way to eliminate flaring. Flaring and or chipping is not a concern most of the time for us, as we usually are using scalloping the edges. It seems to me I learned most of my glass cutting techniques from you many years ago on the rec.crafts.glass bulletin board. Th...

After scoring it with your glass cutter flip it over and strike the score with a regular cold chisel. This will run the score around the circle. Then score the excess glass and again run the score through to the edge of the circle. Make sure that the circle score has been ran through all the way or ...

I'm may be misreading your post but it sounds like the blade dropped onto the cutting table. If so then your blade may have a chip in the diamond rim. If so everytime that section of blade passes by the glass it will chip. It should be a rather smooth cut through your glass, if the water is vibratin...

I'd be concerned, what are we cutting? Glass and it is sharp and abrasive. I'd be concerned that it would cut or abrade through the insulation of the wires and really light you up because you've got alot more water than a light spray onto a belt and it may or may not be protected by a gfi. Your putt...

The motors are enclosed in the housing an never see a single drop of water. I have a tile saw that is almost constantly being sprayed with water and thats okay. It is protected the same way, by the manufacturer. The amount of water on the belts is rather small and most is throwin' off the belt as it...

why would you say it is unsafe? I've run these this way (as have many others I know) for many years and the GFI plug has never tripped once. I've had electricians look it over and they say it's fine. (You can almost literally jump into a bath tub with the toaster and you'll be fine as long as the GF...

Hello all, This is my first post to this board. I have been lurking here for a long time. As for the question about belt sanders we have several delta belt sanders (made for wood) in use in our shop. You can pick one of these up at home depot for under $100.00 a similar one made for glass will run y...
