Thanks for watching and the awesome feedback. The PVC question is one of those that will cause a comment section to light up with insane amounts of keyboard warrior knowledge. They say that PVC gets brittle over time and can turn into a shrapnel sending murder machine when filled with compressed air. I’m personally not sold on the idea that some how PVC and air don’t mix but I guess if it did burst it could get exciting. I went with the copper solely as a water free experiment in soldering. Seemed like a great project to dial the skills in and test without having to risk the evening shower. 😁 If I did it again I might just give PEX a shot at it. Cost effective, easy to work with and if it did burst no collateral damage. As for the scroll it continues to be a rock solid machine and they have upgraded the snot out of it since I bought mine so I imagine you will be quite happy with your purchase. I’ve always done the maintenance at the recommended intervals but other than that it hasn’t required a thing. Good luck!

That little machine has a tack feature that makes best use of the electrical wave and as a result makes that noise. It’s not necessary but at the time I was making the video I was playing with the feature to understand it’s best use.

Appreciate you taking a moment to comment. All these years later mine is still doing well. Blasting, painting, it met every challenge and has kept my air dry and clean. Good luck!

They would be more expensive to replace if they were stainless. They are most definitely a consumable in the role they play here.

Appreciate the feedback thank you for watching. I haven’t changed a thing since I built it. I’ve done production runs on the plasma table, loads of blasting and shot gallons of paint with this set up. It’s been trouble free, required little maintenance and served my needs perfectly even on some of the most humid summer days. Was well worth the time and money.

@@HouseofChop - Sweeeeet! Thanks! 🙌🏼

Still good after all these years. It’s made for that application and you want a rubber hose between the compressor and the hard line. The shaking of the compressor over time would compromise the hard line.

Appreciate you watching. I used type L for the whole project

Hysterical! Thank you. Appreciate you taking a moment to comment 🙌🏼 Good luck with your setup!

Hands down my favorite comment ever 🙌🏼 Hysterical 😂

It’s called a knock out punch. Commonly used in electrical work. That set is a inexpensive one from Harbor Freight

Did a bit about ear protection in the video. I do have plugs in they are skin tone so they are hard to see. These blades are designed to cut dry never tried to oil one and see if there is an advantage. Would be an interesting video to see a A/B test on blade life. For my purposes the clean cut saves time and mess.

Approximately 3/4 open has seemed to work the best.

@@HouseofChop Ok cool, thats where i'm at on mine as well. Just bought the dust collection system and planning moving the suction side to the left like you did.

@@chargerman426Good luck with it. It’s definitely worth your while and will save you a whole lot of filters and keep performance up if you add a “Dust Stopper” or “Dust Deputy” between the vacuum and the cabinet. When you move the pickup to the left I don’t believe you need to get a elaborate as I did. I figured out just getting it on that side and low should do the trick after I did some more testing. I personally like the Dust Stopper because if it’s tight form factor. Here’s a link www.dustopper.com/pro/

@@HouseofChop Interesting that you kept a dust deputy type product in line as well... I was moving to the eastwood dust collector set up to get away from my dust deputy and shop vac set up.

@@chargerman426The Eastwood vacuum is basically a shop vac with a much stronger pull. Still has a filter and the fine dust in the cabinet will clog it quick. I found with the Dust Stopper in line the performance of the vacuum wasn’t encumbered by the filter getting loaded up as quick. In addition to that it’s a whole lot easier to just dump the pail when needed rather than the whole trap door setup on the Eastwood vac.

This video only covers the Fronius

I prefer it

Those sound like great upgrades. I’ve been contemplating getting some more light in there. The vent on the back is about 1/3-1/2 open on mine and it seems to flow best there and keep the dust down.

@@HouseofChop I'll try to send you a couple of pictures.

Hey Patrick! I’m not on Instagram anymore. Makes it tough to find me there 😁

Hey thanks!!! This is one of my favorite comments of all time. You got it. That was my goal all along. This stuff is fun. At times people seem to forgotten. Appreciate you taking a moment to comment

Thank you. Really appreciate you taking a moment to leave a comment. The system is great hasn’t let me down even painting and blasting in the humid season. Can’t really help you with the music. It is just royalty free stock.

What’s up Eric!!! That’s hysterical you stumbled into one of my videos. Appreciate the generous words thank you! I had a blast making this one. Hope all is well.

Didn’t need to. Really any cup would have got the job done. The glass cups tend to balance better on camera because the light is more even.

Painted cars with it and done loads of blasting… it works. People have been doing this for decades. It’s simple and effective.

Awesome! Good luck. It’s a great add. Several years later I still use it all the time
