Recommended Posts

nice machine steve , you must learn your son this to

of course! we are learning it together. It is a little intimidating though because the book isn't very clear...i mean maybe it is and i am just not grasping some of it. I will get back on it in the morning over a cup of coffee. Ill figure it out. It all works though! Had it moving around and shit! :D

Hang a ball joint center over the cnc router, then use as little as possible of flex hose.

Typical flex hose is very resistive to the point of 1 foot of flex hose is equal to 10 feet of hard pipe.

There are some flex hoses that are have less resistance than others, but they do cost a little more, but is worth it in the long run.

Here is the ball joint Im speaking off, one on the pipe and one on the machine. Ideally you want them hanging down from the ceiling to get a better range of motion and not sideways on the pipe, so that is why 2 were used.

But it comes down to the ceiling height, and where your able to run your main collection line and not have it interfere with other pipes, sprinkler systems, electrical conduit and so on.

Here is another one we did, you can see this above machine in the background of this pic.

Here was a ball joint used under a sliding table saw encored to the floor with tapcons.

Installing the Kirk & Blum snap together pipe was fun and easy plus you can always unclamp the stuff and change your layout with ease and reuse the same pipe.
Also due to it not being spiral pipe and smooth on the inside helped with the it not being as restrictive compared to spiral pipe.
