At that saws highest speed of 200 fpm, you will need to use a TPI of 4 or 6 and that will be a slow going. Feed rate and smoothness of finish cut are determined by TPI. Thick wood up to 8", use 2 or 3 TPI, general wood cutting up to an inch thick use 4 to 10 TPI, the higher, the smoother the cut. 18 to 32 TPI for sheet metals and plastics. My 10 year old Harbor frieght metal cutting just barely does what I want, ie cutting 1/8 4130 steel. ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Friday, May 13, 2005 5:22 PM Subject: KR> Bandsaw advice needed > Harbor Freight sells a metal cutting bandsaw that I'm interested in. > Having only limited experience with bandsaws, I have some questions. > > 1.

While it works well as a cut off saw,it is awkward to use as a band saw. That being said it has done all that I have needed it to do so far. If you push to hard you end up moving the saw across the floor in the band saw setup. I did use it to cut up my corvair bell housing and it did fine. I have not tried to cut any wood on it yet.

If zinc chromate won't work, then I will use another primer. I have used a self etching primer, black in color, from Hammerrite, with quite a lot of success before on various things at home. Maybe I should try that one. Too late for second thoughts, anyway. I have already brushed the existing coating and surface corrosion, using Nylon rotary brushes to avoid overheating and scratches. The WAFs are now bare, but not polished. That still leaves two questions unanswered: - Which sanding grit, - Heating or not heating.

Mine used to be zinc chromated, but it's hard to tell that now! Best thing is to have them plated somehow, like RR does. Hydrogen embrittlement may be a concern though, so check for compatibilty with 4130 first. Here's something I found in a quick search of the web: "One comment is by a guy who overdrilled a spar bolt hole, and then did a D-I-Y plating job on the bolt to bring it back up to size: >Here's what worked for me: I contacted Caswell Plating (www.caswellplating.com) and bought an 8oz. bottle of their CopyChrome nickel plating solution. Following their directions, I plated the bolt up to 0.377" then baked it at 400° F for 4 hours to take care of any hydrogen embrittlement. It worked great. I also plated some 4130 scraps and was pleased with their appearance. The plating looked like it should be pretty durable. I even soaked a 4130 piece in saltwater overnight and saw no effect. It's not quite chrome, but it looks pretty good.

Sanding with 400 grit paper would be what to use for final sanding. This would leave a nice finish that your primer to "grab" into and not leave any scratches worth worrying over. Use chemical paint remover and thoroughly rinse with mineral spirits before a final washing with soap and water. If you choose to use this method, before you apply primer, "break" the surfaces with 400 grit that will allow the primer to "grab" into, then use a lint free cloth soaked in whatever thinner you are using for the paint. Allow to evaporate then apply the primer. As far as primer choice, I would probably use a good metal etching primer sold in automotive paint supply stores. Tell the sales rep that you are painting 4130 that is a highly loaded part. He or she will probably sell you some brand of epoxy primer and compatible top-coat (of the color of your choice). Heating could also ruin the strength properties of the steel unless one knows exactly what they are doing. This is simply not the case, heating to fusion welding temperatures would cause a loss of properties, and would require normalizing and re-heat treatment in the area of the weld. (according to my McDonnell Douglas Design Handbook.) Follow the manufacturer's recommendations in regard to temperatures while apply-ing and cure. Also ask the sales rep at the paint store for advise for baking the finish in an oven. (probably around 150 degrees F). My preference would be to have them powder-coated and forget about corrosion for the life of the bird. Sometimes a powder-coater isn't available (or reliable), but even if the parts are powder-coated, you still need to keep an eye out for corrosion in this area. Mainly because you would have to remove the powder-coating to get the bolts through. Scott Cable KR-2S # 735 Wright City, MO s2cable1@yahoo.com --------------------------------- Discover Yahoo!

As far as I know almost everything is made in China now, even if you pay more for it. The problem started a few years back when people quit buying quality and started buying at a specific price point, that is, the cheaper the better. You know, the Walmart sales strategy. When price replaced quality, the flood gates opened and everyone started following the same marketing model. I hate it, but that's where we are now. The Chinese bandsaw that was mentioned earlier is alright, but you should take it apart when you get it home and make sure that it's clean and ready to use. These things fly out of the factory so fast that they don't have time to clean the molding sand and other manufacturing "artifacts" out of them before they are shipped. And it will not be the best tool for working wood, you need more blade speed for that type of stuff, but you can get by with it if you have to. Denny ... larry flesner wrote: .

It didn't used to be that way, but it is now. Don't be fooled. My brother in his teenage years used to work for a company that had him removing the "made in China" label and install a "made in USA" label. It happens. China and Taiwan things are still cheaply made, but things from Japan are very good. The bearing supplier that we deal with daily at work says they have very good luck with Japanese bearings.

My new EFS- 2A wit 90° fuel fitting cost me $861 and is in transit to me. Today, I did a search on eBay and there was an Ellison EFS-3B with just a few hours to go on the auction. Someone sure got a good deal on it because it sold for $487.75.

The wire tends to crack right where the center pin is soldered on after a while. It sounds like it would be a very remote possibility, but I have seen it more times than I can count in marine applications.

If possible, get the RG-58 with a solid center conductor, it's easier to work with and has less signal loss. Most local Radio Shack stores (not the mall ones) still have the good stuff, generally it's stored on a big reel (500 feet) in the back. Ask them to cut what you need from it. Stay away from the 5, 10, or 25 foot pre-packaged stuff. Allen G.

I have the tray, manual, and connectors it comes with still unopened. It sells new for $1,263.00 at Spruce. I will sell it for the first $1,100 including shipping in the U.S. I will put it on the RV list in a few days and it will probably be snatched up in hours, but I want to offer it to the KR list first. This transponder came with my Midget Mustang when I bought it and was not installed yet. Since I am going to sell the Stang soon I don't want to install it because it will neve increase the value of the plane for what I can sell it separately for. I already have a transponder for each of the KRs so I don't need another one.

You can get it at Home Depot. After it dries you pop it in the oven at a few hundred degrees for a half hour and it gets very hard and scratch resistant. For a heat treated part I would not go more than 200 degrees (if someone knows the exact temperature you want to stay under please chime in). I have had the best luck sanding with about 320 and cleaning with acetone before painting. I have used zinc chromate under the barbecue paint with no problems, but most of the time I don't bother to prime. Hang it in the oven, do not put it on the rack. The paint gets soft at first and it will come out with char broil lines if you put it on the rack.

I intend to coat them with zinc chromate primer. Questions: 1) Which grit should I use for final sanding? 2) What is the best way to degrease? Should I dip the part in degreaser, or rub it with a cloth soaked in degreaser, or what? 3) Should I heat the part before I paint? 4) Should I heat the part while the paint dries? Should I apply one coat, or several?
