khariV Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Wow. I know those things are built like tanks, but I have to believe that having this much sawdust inside can't be good for the motor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp56 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 ya there is always going to be some debris left in the bottom of a table saw regardless of how good your dust collection is but that looks as if something stopped prior to cleaning it. My saw has cut many things now and after a few weeks I checked to see how well the dust control was working 6.5HP shop vac direct to dust deputy and all is fine .....very little on the very bottom of chute 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pancing Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Holy shit is that your schools Shop? My highschool was lucky enough to have a goddamn cordless drill when I was in school, let alone a saw-stop, dust collection and anything powermatic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jronman Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 We didn't have top of the line anything in my high school shop but we were blessed to have a Timesaver wide belt sander. Was an old enough model to where it had no depth guide but it still worked great. Back when Timesavers were green. When I was in high school we had problems with tools going missing. Particularly drills. The new Timesaver wide belts are a dream to use. Computerized depth adjustment and can automatically determine material thickness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got no idea where they ended up. I don't even know if they were ever recovered. I have used a new Timesaver in college. They got it the year before I arrived and as I stated in the message above its great. One of the computerized models. Probably something I would want in my dream shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 a 2300 would be nice. Use one belt for a high grit sanding pad the second for a low grit sanding pad and the third for planer blades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a wide belt orbital would be better than a wide belt planer. Wouldn't want to see the price on it though. The one college got was $20k and I think it was a 1300 model and not a 2300. the 2300 is probably $30k or more haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATERPILLAR Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Damn think of all the cordless tools u could get for $30k or tools in that matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 @CATERPILLAR You could buy a lot of tools with it but would they be as good as a wide belt? Could replace or partially replace a few tools with it haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
