Look What Someone Gave Me

They were cleaning out a warehouse and ask if I wanted it. Duhhhh. The drum is about 55 gal 1 HP. Now I just need to figure out how to use it.

Run the motor backwards and line the drum with kaowool

Ahhhhh! We use that in the oil refineries to plug dump pipes on vessels. Nasty stuff

 

[Dennis Towns]

How do you do that? Is there a thread about it? I will try to research it when I get some more time. How good is this one ? Thanks for the input.

I was just joking.
If I owned it I would hook it to my band saw and maybe my surface grinder. But I have a blower for that. I am looking for a way to suck the plasma cutter smoke out of the shop.

 

[Dennis Towns]

I only have a hand held plasma. If I need more than that I have a friend with an open shop CNC Plasma. He cut up a whole sheet of 1045 1/4"" for my fish gigs. Looked like the amount of smoke from a burning pile of leaves, lots an lots of smoke.

 

[JTknives]

Yeah I have a hand held plasma but we use it to cut up all the 15n20 we sell so the shop does get rather smoky

My shop is kinda a screwy set up, it is 21' wide by 70' long, the first 20' is under roof with one side and front wide open, then the next 25' only has the front open to the first part, then the last 25' is completely enclosed with great insulation and AC/Heat. Its just too bad I am not 20 years younger so I could enjoy it more. But when I want it , its waiting on me and not the other way around. Just took me too long to get what I wanted I guess. When I pass someone gonna have a field day. LOL
