    Air compressor recommendations

    Thanks everyone for the info. After looking at my electrical planning for the shop, I am going to have to run a 200 amp panel with a rotary converter in the 30 or 40 hp range depending on whether the compressor is 3 phase. Any thoughts on this compressor from champion...

    Testing coatings for flashlights ...

    I would like to see UV resistance testing. I have had some lights on the front of the raptor and there is some fading - or maybe it is road dirt. They were made around the start of this thread and done in the same grey as the piece I sent in to Will for this test.

    Thanks everyone for the info. I called pods and they don't go to bainbridge but I am looking into short haul and renting a flat bed trailer to tow with my truck. I can't wait because part of moving is to get a bigger shop out of moving

    suggestions on moving my lathe, mill, bandsaw cross country...

    I sold the house and am moving from Santa Monica to Bainbridge Island- 1000 miles roughly. Movers don't want to touch the 13x40 jet cnc lathe or the pm45 mill or my giant bandsaw. If anyone has a good suggestion on cost effectively moving this stuff, it would be really appreciated...
