What kind of "full blown shop" are you setting up?
And, do I actually see 2 router tables, or is one of those a band saw?

1 router table, 1 plunge router attached permantly to a jig, table saw, compressor, belt sander, drill press, and misc other tools. Soon there will be a workbench with toolbox and places for the acrylic shavings to go, cause right now they are EVERYWHERE

Are you building skimmers also? How much for a 6 ft tall twin injection?
Right post now.....LMAO....
alexwolf
Sun, 12th Dec 2004, 12:49 AM
I am trying something new. Instead of a super tall 6" tube i am using a shorter 8" tube. I havent priced one that tall yet. See the skimmer in the first pic? Almost complete? Its going to be a dual injection, I told Greg a little about it. If you like, I can put something together for ya.

Alex, you really should come take a look at my AquaMedic! Different operating principal than a Becket, and it works great! I would like to see someone try a DIY model that works like the Turbofloater :-D
alexwolf
Sun, 12th Dec 2004, 12:54 AM
I do need to come see your setup. The beckett works very well if powered correctly
Tim Marvin
Sun, 12th Dec 2004, 12:55 AM
Yes, let us know a price. I'd like to stick to a 6 ft tall one though, but I'll talk to Greg. The taller gives more contact time in the tube and we don't have any height restrictions.
alexwolf

This is 37" tall with quick disconnect
