If I move it further across to clear the leg, then the jaws won't clear the benchtop if I have a workpiece in them. I think I would go with your first idea and use a big lag screw through the table top and into the leg. That combined with the 3 other bolts should hold it really well.

Thanks. That option is certainly more doable with the tools and ability I have at hand than some sort of steel plate adapter.

If you anticipate paint jobs in the future, like say the house exterior, I like my Graco airless.

Oh and trimming out an 8' sliding door as well. I also do a fair amount of wood working and have wanted to engage in spray finishes for a while. It's kind of a no brainer imo, just needed the right project to push me over the edge. Bad Munki fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Oct 16, 2021 |

Got a new-in-box Ridgid belt/spindle sander for $120 from a friend who's trying to get rid of a bunch of their dad's stuff after he passed. No idea how long it had been sitting there. The only thing that was weird is that most of the bottom of the tool (and sneaking up the sides a little bit) there was a bunch of machine oil. Like, it was pooled in the bag the tool was packaged in. I just wiped it off with shop rags. I'm assuming that was just there to protect parts from rusting/etc in transit, right? I don't need to worry that the motor isn't properly lubricated because all the motor juice came out after a couple years of sitting in a garage? I've just never seen that much oil on a tool before, especially one that's painted stamped steel for the top and plastic for the body. It runs fine, for what it's worth.

I bought some long coach screws (as they are known here) to put through that last hole but I couldn't get it driven all the way in (I think there's some metal in there it's hitting) so I ended up using a smaller decking screw I had in the drawer and it's solid as a rock.

Using random saws or whatever is probably OK but metal/metal is not good for the patient. Unrelated, I have one of these on the way to me across the Atlantic because they are apparently unheard of here.

Also even with a high quality slow-curing self-leveling paint, the finish will never quite compare when using any sort of direct applicator like a brush or roller. If you have a decent sized air compressor, a pneumatic gun is definitely the way to go for clear woodworking kind of finishes, and decent pneumatic guns are not super expensive. I don't know much about sprayers for real paint, but Graco definitely seems to be the most common among tradespeople.

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:Unfortunately sprayers that are ideal for paint are not ideal for clear finishes like lacquer and vice-versa. Paint is very thick and heavy and viscous with a whole lot of solids, while lacquer is fairly thin and low solids and needs to be very finely atomized to lay down a nice finish. The guns I've used that claim to spray paint and lacquer (Earlex, mostly) don't do either very well. They didn't have the oomph to spray paint without thinning it down a ton and left alot of orange peel on a lacquer finish, and don't have much control over the spray pattern. In addition, using water based and solvent based problems in the same gun can cause problems without very very thorough cleaning and paint pigment seems to be about impossible to completely clean out of a gun. Good to know, thanks for the info. I was looking at airless vs hvlp vs pneumatic and wasn’t really making great headway in figuring out what I need, this is probably why.

Bad Munki posted:Good to know, thanks for the info. I was looking at airless vs hvlp vs pneumatic and wasn’t really making great headway in figuring out what I need, this is probably why. The basic Earlex kit is...okay for spraying clear. The big disadvantage is that the gun has very little adjustment, so it always sprays a big wide pattern at full blast. The big vacuum hose is pretty cumbersome too vs. a 1/4" air line, especially for spraying inside cabinets etc. Even a pretty basic pneumatic gun will let you adjust fan width, air pressure in, and liquid volume out-all the Earlex gun can adjust is liquid volume out, which makes it pretty hard to get a nice coat and basically impossible to do any kind of toning or shading with. You absolutely can get a nice finish off an Earlex, it's just going to take alot more sanding between coats to get rid of the orange peel, at least IME with lacquer. It might level out better with something slower drying like poly. If they made a more adjustable gun I would like it much more. You can also get HVLP guns that are pneumatic. They atomize better at lower pressure so there is less overspray. One sales rep I talked to described most low/mid range pneumatic guns marketed as HVLP as actually Low Volume Low Pressure-they achieve less overspray/wasted finish by basically just shooting less finish out of the gun. Maybe you have to take slower passes, but it achieves the same goal of less overspray. My gun has one air cap that is HVLP and one that isn't, but if I turn the pressure up on the HVLP cap it shoots about the same as the non-HVLP cap. Actually being LVLP means they eat less air and you can get away with a smaller compressor.

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:In my mind, airless=house paint, pneumatic=lacquer, turbine is the worst of both worlds unless you get a $1500+ rig. The big advantage of turbine setups in my mind is portability-you can spray clear finishes inside a house without dragging along your 40gal air compressor. Unless you need to do that often, you can get a decent pneumatic gun and nice sized compressor (that has a ton of uses besides spraying) for much less than a turbine rig that works well would cost. I gotta disagree with this direction. Airless has tips for every viscosity, and the gun is adjustable somewhat. I did my house exterior with the regular tip, I've done lacquer with the smaller tip. That's what house painters all have used ever since the thing was invented. And the airless I got was < $500 reconditioned, free shipping on ebay. Needless to say, it paid for itself 3 times over on the one job. Magnum Pro x9 iirc, which may be an obsolete (totally does not matter) model now. 320 lineal foot of base laid out on sawhorses is a good way to get your feet wet (haha not literally). Hit em first with primer, in oh say 10 minutes, let dry, sand then coat next day with paint. Really a month ago when it was still hot outdoors would have been ideal. There are extension add-on wands, even extension rollers for doing walls with latex. Available at your local paint store or online. They've been at this for a while, so there'll be the same tutorials on youtube as they typically include on a DVD (haha hard media amirite) with the rig.

I've never actually tried to use an airless for lacquer, but have been told it gives alot more bounceback/overspray because of the higher pressure. Listen to Mambold who actually has hands-on experience with it, not me!

For small projects, yeah use those other methods you mentioned like HPLV or a cup gun just because you need to prime a quart or 2 into the airless line before you do a thing. And a short line is 25'. Typical is 50'. And yeah, there is overspray like with any spray type method. Weather matters just like with any material. The tip adjusts for either a vertical or horizontal spray pattern- or for Bad Munki, I guess a diagonal pattern. Pressure/volume is adjustable, and that's a thing you need to dial in for each job. But, for like a home interior or an array of doors even or kitchen doors, and definitely anything exterior (weather permitting) airless is the way to fly. Any friggin material. No air needed, as advertised, just really high pressure in the pump and lines. So you deffo don't spray human flesh, and you bleed the lines after you're done, or taking a break. You can leave material in the lines overnight or even a few days if you need to go back as long as you clean the tip each time you're done. With really good quality exterior paint, I'll thin it a bit for ease of flow. No big deal. It's a bit of pita to cleanup, so you want to do all your priming or all your painting in one go without switching. And most of your time and labor is typically going to be setup and masking, but when you're set to go, buddy you sure can go. That's my mile high Ted talk overview

TheBeardedCrazy posted:Anyone have a recommendation for a quality robot vacuum?

Roborock makes the best bang for your buck units. LIDAR scanning, multi floor mapping, all the good stuff. The S4 Max runs about $320 on sale. Roomba still doesn’t have a LIDAR robot but they use cameras and object detection poo poo. They are some of the best built and most repairable units but it will cost you for the privilege. I’ve had the cheap Roomba bump and run and beta tested the high end one with the self empty canister. The high end was great but it was also $700 dollars. I ended up buying the Roborock S4 Max for half the cost and it’s been great. Vacuum Wars on YouTube is great and just did a roundup video two weeks ago https://youtu.be/lRZLcft2PBc

As an avid robo vac user: get the auto empty bin. We have a Shark auto empty (the older one without the floor sensor maybe the AE101?), a Roomba i7+, and 3 dumb cheap iLife V3s'. The Shark takes forever to build a map but it's awesome and quiet. The Roomba maps faster, but it's loud and uses bags. The iLifes are perfect for kitty litter, cat hair, and leaves and garage stuff.
