Maintenance question

[Digitalwoodshop]

Me too.... We have a 24 inch Gas Line on our property and I took the opportunity to add a line to the shop when they had the big dig a few years ago. Snicker....

There is a major power line project planned for our area and above this pipeline in my back yard is one of the 3 possible paths.... Bummer....

Chris, go get some sleep (after you answer my question )

Did you sponge the raised areas of the text and crests - they look great.

Thanks CNS, Nope, This was all done with "VERY" small artists bushes under this lighted magnifier.

The logos are only 4" x 4" so all that raised stuff is pretty darn small...lol Especially at 2:00 AM.

Had a friend in San Diego (firefighter) that moonlighted on days off building cabinetry. Did beautiful work, but absolutely hated the finish part. Found a guy to take that on, so he could focus on what he really liked to do.

I guess I'm a lot like him - building, carving, etc., is a blast. What you were doing at 2am is not for me!!

But, as with everything, you gotta do what you gotta do in order to do what you wanna do (who's on first?)

nice work guys!

Actually Al, 3 in 1 is beter. There's a thread floating around in here that shows the dry lube can cause trouble.

I like the 3 in 1 best 2 for the QC. Regarding dry lube, I would think dry lube could cloud the board sensors if sprayed to close to the LED's

love the painted bears,

It would be swell if there were a Scheduled Maintenence Spreadsheet (as you'd receive with most small engine machines). Does anyone have one?

Al,

Nice pictures, especially the one from winter. Makes me think of all the stuff i left behind when i moved to texas from oklahoma. It wasn't as nice as you have, but it was still beautiful, definitely after the once a year snow storm that oklahoma is prone to.

OK, now that I've had a few hours shut eye I can answer this better...lol

Dry lube is great for many things. Unfortunately, high heat conditions isn't one of them. Most dry lubes work because of the "graphite" they contain. As it heats up, the graphite drys out even more and is then prone to absorbing moisture which in turn, then causes rusting of the chuck and bit adapters.

I wish I could remember the member (I "think" FWharris) that posted some really tell tale pictures of this condition. (Sorry if it wasn't you FW). But the adapter pictures he posted showed a horrible rust condition as a result of using Dry Lube on the chuck.

Dry lube is OK for the vertical head posts but still doesn't last that long. For them, I prefer using silicone spray BUT!!! I spray it on a rag and wipe the posts.

... DO NOT spray it directly on the posts as it WILL get on many parts you don't want it on. Silicone can play hell with plastics, CIRCUIT BOARDS and BELTS. Not to mention (as in another post today) it WILL migrate and get on your wood and at the risk of ryming...that ain't GOOD!...

Chris,

Yes that was me. Looks like you have your film in!

I just posted the same info in another thread. 3 AND 1 IS OUR BEST FRIEND.

At Chris's request this is the post. Man did that take a while to find. It was under a different topic. Just remember, Search is your friend!

OK...lol...I thought so. The film may be in FW but the shutter is a wee bit slow today....

If you could post the link to that post of yours or the pictures again, I think it will help many.

Thanks FW!!
