Add shop's time spent on quote day, time Betsy spent ordering material and the choreographing of boats in and out of the shop.

How is the reliability of rebuilt edwards vacuum pumps? Is it reliable enough to use in hvac field?
@ezone91325 күн бұрын
PI buys pallets of secondhand pumps. Each will go thru an Eval and get tagged. Some are lightly used some are shit. Ralph has a set of standards each component must pass, test run time it must achieve. There's no money in warranty work. Call PI explain your needs, how many CFM you need to move and the ideal millitorr you wish to achieve. Have pics of your current pump setup to send, it may have trade-in value even if all it does is make noise. He has cut and paste pumps to save you money if you know it's going to be used hard and put away wet and dirty. He has clients that just run them until they quit. As you see from the videos, oil contamination is the common killer of wet vacuum pumps. Always keep the IN/OUT covered tight between uses and change with the proper case oil when it shows any color. Warm and clear as water pulls lowest numbers. Good luck.

I hope there's enough here for you to learn my methods. The advantages I enjoyed at this location are the huge table (10'X28'), and the powerful Consew machines. Also notice, my infeed table is inline with the needle path. Sewing interiors, you sit right in front of the needle. With large projects you must sew side-saddle to keep things flat and off the floor, just before they go under the stitch. Line up, pull taunt, sew that 30", reset and repeat.

With Sunbrella Marine fabric, the 3 Bs. Bind it, Burn it, or Bury it. -The Sailrite Swing-Away binder is the best I've used. -The adjustable hot knifes put a stout burn on the fabric edge that will resist fray for years. -A double hem will bury that live edge where it can not fray far. Some will use pinking shears to cut the zigzag pattern along the entire edge, but that's highly impractical for covers this size. A standard 21' runabout should only take 8 hours to fabricate, quote them as 12 hours to cover admin costs and any mishaps during production. When everything aligned, we we're processing 1 boat a day. Good Luck, -EZ

What do you do to ensure that there is enough room for the bar when you’re making the pockets for the bars.
@ezone9133 ай бұрын
When making the pattern I draw the line on the stress side (the side the pole pushes against when deployed). I sew the pocket on inside that line to try and place he stitches directly above the pole. Our stitches are strong in the linear plain. When we stress them laterally at 90* angles stitches in fabrics become more a perforation and tear away like a paper from a notepad. I used to use a piece of scrap pole with our standard crown in it and lay it in place to draw the zipper line. After a while... you just know where it goes. 😉 -EZ

Freeze frame at 1:21 and note the notch cut into the bottom of the bobbin cover plate, near side left. Now note the hole in the casting near side track, just where the plate enters the groves. In that hole should be a spring and a blunt pointed plunger, to act as a detent for the door. Force the bobbin plate off but be ready to catch to plunger, she will want to take flight. If you change plates a lot like I did, run without spring/plunger and keep the tang on your basic door at proper tension to keep it in place. All binders need a thumb screw plate to lock them in tight to the machine or it will suck them in and run them over. LOL Sailrite swing-away are the best binders I've ever used.
@michaelmauk4174 ай бұрын
@@ezone913 Thanks. so I think the plunger on mine does not have a spring it is just sticking up and i wondered what it is. I do have the sailrite binders. I will need to drill and tap the plate for the screws. I need to put in the set screw to hol the plate in the case, also I need to get some more plates like you have for the other binders i have. Where can I order them from? I wonder if there is a way to make the push pedal for the presser foot easier to use? so I have that to figure out and the bobbin spins freely when it gets kind of low, do you have that problem? It is going to take a while to get used to this machine and how noisy it is. But you do show that it is a heck of a machine and need to get used to using it.

Brushed servo motors like the one featured are okay for a machine that doesn't need any actual power like a high speed garment weight machine but really subpar for a compound feed walking foot, especially a long arm like this consew. Why, because brushed DC motors will stall so hard when started under load, or when experiencing load at low speed. You can literally stop this style of motor from spinning with your bare hand on the motor pulley. Brushless servo are much better. They actually provide some low rpm torque which translates into the punch power the machine head needs to perform adequately at low speed.
