Thank goodness.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, like I said, I've never actually read a true account of PVC dust collection burning a shop down. It's like how everyone knows somebody who knows somebody, yada yada, It might just be a big scare.Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686176595392044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238419852400511122.post-37364656439031058322009-02-22T21:40:00.000-08:002009-02-22T21:40:00.000-08:00I saw on Myth Busters they tried to create a sawdu...I saw on Myth Busters they tried to create a sawdust fire and couldn't do it.

I did however read some people who had used PVC for years with no problems. I also never read an actual story of a fire caused by PVC duct work, just theories.

You guys are using PVC for dust collection? I just recently read that because PVC can't ground your machines it can cause excess static and possibly an explosion from the wood dust. That being said however, I know that ABS pipe has been banned in some areas of the states because of its flammable nature, but it's still used here for 95% of plumbing. Maybe the 'PVC dust collection causes fires' is just someone being overly afraid of the worst possible scenario.Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686176595392044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238419852400511122.post-9287063002647684972009-02-10T04:26:00.000-08:002009-02-10T04:26:00.000-08:00yeah, we could start a new line, walklas.no there ...yeah, we could start a new line, walklas.<BR/><BR/>no there not screws. i peged each joint with a hard wood dowel and then turned some caps out of the oak and epoxyd them in. the two small ones are just for show and the larger one in the middle is driven through the joint, but not the leg. i did however put a screw in where the back intersects the arm, and i capped it the same way. one big couch, two screws.<BR/><BR/>now i'm off to deliver. a nice little road trip to fredericton and halifax, with a pit stop at princess auto to see if i can get a two step pulley for the motor... and of course, i'm going to go wood shopping.jbreauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04172943907503737238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238419852400511122.post-23024831222972045622009-02-09T21:10:00.000-08:002009-02-09T21:10:00.000-08:00Hey are those plugs for screws by the front stretc...Hey are those plugs for screws by the front stretcher?
