Correct, although I’m behind and worked last two weeks straight. As of the moment I’m doing a lot of walking back n forth between shops for different processes etc. Going to take most of tomorrow off, customer dropping an axle first thing in am then I’m out for family time (middle daughter is here for weekend from MT ST) and anniversary dinner with wife tomorrow night. Hard to believe she’s put up with me this long.

So I ordered this with the THC today. 5-7 week lead time, I’ve been following this company since their inception. They have a solid cost effective product. It will allow me to increase capability with a small footprint and ease of prototyping parts prior to sending them out to be laser cut in bulk.

I’m supposed to meet up to buy a NOS Enco 12x36 gap bed lathe tomorrow too. It’s still mostly boxed up currently by pictures. I’ve been going back and forth with a guy on this for several months. It’s been sitting in a storage unit about an hour from me and owner lives on western slope. He’s driving over tomorrow and needs it gone so I think we’ve come to an agreement on price for me to make it go away. Comes with 3 & 4 jaw chuck

My old smaller lathe will be for sale shortly.

Shawn, that was the same Plasma table I ordered and canceled. Supposed to be great units. Did you get it with the recommended cutter and 3rd axis? Kinda wish I had not cancelled but space is an issue at home. I may look at the Lincoln unit too now, they are based in Sparks with showroom.

Enco is based in NV and is OK unit (chinese). I think they changed the one letter (EMCO) which is the lathe I have. I had a 13/40 jet gab bed that was not bad. It was made in china. I had another made in Taiwan that was tight but to small (9x20)

Love to see this all setup!!!

JR, third axis? If you mean torch height control yes it is ordered.

As far as the lathe, yeah it’s either Taiwan or most likely chinaman depending on age of manufacture. My retired machinist buddy has basically same unit and it’s fine for what I need it for, can’t beat the price.

JR · « **Reply #110 on:** October 16, 2021, 11:21:41 PM »

Yeah, I meant the THC, just couldn't think of it at the moment. I think that is just the right size too. Roll is around where needed or store it.

My 13/40 was pretty good, but that was a good 20 years ago. Got burned up in a garage fire and I still got a grand for it.

stlaser · « **Reply #111 on:** October 17, 2021, 04:39:55 PM »

No DRO with it and they had it stood up on the end with the fiberglass cover that guards the pulleys. Luckily the skid was still bolted to it and took the brunt end of the weight. Everything inside looked fine. Need to find a DRO to add to it. Came with extra 4 jaw chuck. Hard to beat for basically half price of new.

After a quick trip to HD this morning I had some free time this afternoon to start framing up the floor to the office space. I really need it framed and luan hung underneath so electrician can wire / hang my under mezzanine lights next week when he comes for the equipment. Trying to get him a longer to do list. Once that is done I’ll go back and stuff insulation from top side and throw down the sheeting. It will most likely stay that way until later this winter when I frame up the office if and when I get more time.

Office floor framing complete, yes there are a couple extra joists when I have them running directly over the support beams. I do trust my welds but as a structural consideration it just made sense for an extra $20……

Shawn, Shawn, Shawn….so much fail….

seriously, something to consider here, some rubber isolation pucks between the wood and the metal every 16 inches may serve you well to reduce vibration and noise from the compressors.

Looking good, carry on!

Hmmmm, compressors already have rubber 1” isolation pucks under them both. Had not considered it under the wood framing. Not sure if I like that idea honestly.

I have considered adding more posts under compressor area and making that a seperate structure if the vibration is too much. As it is only the office area is attached to the wall. By adding posts the compressor section would be free standing in of itself.

So that’s $300, I actually didn’t think that was too bad. I bought 3/8” ply for underneath 5 sheets which I probably need 6 or 7 we’ll see how good I am cutting and that was $110

But yeah the top floor decking plywood is insane still. As it is I’m still less in this mezzanine than the one in old shop 3 years ago since I used recycled steel for the structure.

Just use a good amount of glue, lay all the sheets on and then follow the profil with a router and bearing. No cutting needed unless you joist spacing is off somewhere

I have to agree on this one.
Hockey pucks are cheap. Run a bolt from the frame, through the pucks and into a nut or something welded to the steel frame.
Would also facilitate pulling the entire shelf as a single unit when it comes time to move/upgrade again.

But, as you wish is best for you...

You said you had some cutting to do, I wouldn’t try and cut those angles, I’d run a flush cut router bit and you will have a clean line that follows the framing. As long as you joists are spaced correctly you should only need to cut the one side and the angle section on the garage bay side

I get what you’re saying now. Yes the steel used mobile home I beam isn’t exactly straight as an arrow. Reality is it’s a ceiling to hold insulation up and hang lights on for under the mezz. Beams and ceiling get the flat black treatment. If it’s not perfect and it isn’t you won’t know and if you do you’re just asking for issues. Floor joists are straight and good.

JR · « **Reply #133 on:** October 23, 2021, 03:45:49 AM »

Yes, black hides stuff but will make that area dark. I can see treating the beams, but do the ceiling in white.

JR I’m not following. I want the ceiling dark, it’s not going to make the lights any less effective as they’re pointed or throwing light down not up.

So between real work I’ve been slowly moving stuff from old shop to the new one and running air line from front mezzanine to back of the shop. I’ve added and plugged in some T fittings for future air drops. I repurposed all of the black pipe air line from old shop. As of this morning I’ve finished running it from front to back and not cut any pieces. Part of my issue or dilemma thus far has been the 60 gallon air tank stuck in old shop loft behind non rolling fummins build.

Then it dawned on me this morning like a light bulb. I picked up 2 lengths of c 4” channel x 20’ Friday for a custom trailer job I need to complete for a customer this week. So in the morning I’ll be tack welding those back to back to make a beam. I will then clamp / chain those to the forks on the forklift and will hoist that air tank out of the loft. It should be interesting……
