Yes

Please disregard my previous request for a how-to video on disassembling the pump. Graco's manuals have disassembly instructions. Looks like the problem is the pump because after I disconnected the pump from the air motor, the displacement rod was stuck and had to be freed with a light tap using a rubber mallet. I bought the Falcon from someone on Craigslist and I don't know the maintenance history, so I'm going to do a displacement pump rebuild. I might even record it and post it on KZbin. BTW, this airless system is the best spray setup I have ever used. I have previously purchased a Turbinaire HVLP sprayer and a cordless Graco sprayer, but this Falcon pump and G15 gun outperform my past two sprayers in efficiency. I can't comment on finish quality yet because I'm still getting used to the air assist, but my preliminary results are good (not perfect yet). Simple cleanup is the best part of my current spray setup. Cleaning the Turbinaire gun and the Graco cordless spray gun was way too time consuming and made me prefer to use a brush on most finish jobs. Now I don't hesitate to use my Falcon for smaller finish jobs.

Thanks for the great comment and for sharing those info links. The Graco Air-Assisted Airless are fantastic units. Any issues I’ve had with finish quality have been the fault of myself and not the unit. I use the Graco guns and they do well too.

Good idea, I’ll post his info in the video notes.

@@AWoodworkersLife Thanks! and good luck with your channel.

Thank you, I appreciate it :)

@@AWoodworkersLife I recently read that you increase your metrics by telling people to ask questions in the comments or to ask if there is something else that they would like to see.

@@rogerhodges7656 Great idea, thanks.

Glad you like it!

Thanks 👍

Why, what's the issue?

100$ not 250 “Think before you speak “

Good idea. I didn’t think about trying to stack them all in a vise. I wonder if it would have gotten enough clamping force? That tubing was a lot harder to flare than I expected. It would be worth trying next time though. As for epoxy, I was worried about it being too runny and not staying put while the ends were being flared. An acrylic like Loctite 660 would be ideal, I just don’t have any and so I grabbed the next closest thing I had that I knew wouldn’t shrink and crack when it dried.

The vac is good still. For the price it’s really well built. Also, I’d maybe look at one of Makita’s backpack vacs if you are going to be carrying it often.

I think you’re right. If I had the option to do it over again I would try those ones first. These ones are pretty good but I wish they had the back section that the 5055 has.

I’m really not sure about how well universally they fit. I’m pretty average sized.

Thanks! I sometimes think I could just do videos on my mistakes lol. so it’s good to know that you don’t mind if they are left in. Remember to check the main bearing on the motor as well. The motor bearing usually lasts multiple times that of the arbor bearings, but you never know if a previous owner, a random KZbinr, or even the person at the factory dropped the motor 😆

@@AWoodworkersLifeThanks for the reply. I replaced the bearings on an older jointer I had, including the motor. As you said, the motor bearings were fine but the cutter head bearings were shot. Having done that, I got a mechanic's stethoscope to listen to the bearings on my table saw's motor and arbor. Motor sounded fine but arbor not so much. I'm the original owner so no concerns with previous shoddy work.

Yes. He’s actually an English Labrador.

@@AWoodworkersLife Thanks for the info. Have a good day

You can adjust speed with ros20 and only on and off with ros10

I just ordered my first O.L suspenders from Amazon. I would get neck pain from wearing fall protection harness with my work belt so hopefully these suspenders will be more comfortable

Yes, more comfortable than a standard fall protection harness. I’ve not used one of the padded fall protection harnesses so I can’t really comment on that. It took a couple days to get used to them but they are a big win for me. My only complaint is how stiff they are for the first month.

Perhaps in your book. I have many.

Great question, in my carpentry trailer I just clamp them to the internal ribs for the roof, but in a shop I’d probably use a 1/2” dowel, 6-12” long sticking out of the wall, and hang the head of the clamps on it.
