Safety Torque Management : DigInfo
Defects from inaccurate amounts of torque during construction and maintenance -- such as deformation of components, breach in bolts and screws, and looseness in assembly parts -- can cause life-threatening accidents. Torque management is therefore required to ensure safety and security.

Recently, the demand for accurate torque management is especially high, as high-performance, lightweig...

A Low-cost Fire Escape
Take advantage of a lazy summer afternoon to make this easy-to-build ladder that could save lives.


 
Air Compressor Cart
I use a small portable air compressor in my shop. But despite the name, I find it cumbersome to carry this compressor around where I need it. So instead, I built a small, roll-around cart for the compressor
 
Air Filter for a Clean Computer
After getting a new shop computer, all was happy until the computer case fans started to whine and make way too much noise. Popping the side off the case revealed about half a pound of dust bunnies and that the fans had a thick coat of crud on them.
 
Air Hose Caddy
I bought one of those yellow coiled hoses to use with my air compressor. And for the most part it worked great. The lightweight, compact design made it a nice addition to my small shop. But I encountered one minor problem. I didn?t have a good way to store it. So I put my mind to it and came up with a simple solution.
 
Air Station Assembly Table
A wide variety of air-tools can be used in the shop to assemble projects ranging from small craft items to cabinets and furniture. In most instances, a sturdy workbench or table is needed as a work surface to assemble projects. The air-station shown provides a sturdy work surface as well as storage for air tools and fasteners.
 
Blind Depth Gauge for Dust Collection Cyclone Barrels
By Grant in Iowa - Since the bin is under vacuum, the small air leaks around the dowel should be insignificant to system efficiency. You can then mark the dowel like a dipstick: ?Empty?, ?1/2 full?, ?Full?, and ?Holy schtick!?
 
Box Fan Filter Dust Control
Like a lot of woodworkers, I made a cheap air cleaner for dust in my shop by attaching a furnace filter to a box fan. I just set the fan on my workbench whenever Im sanding. It works so well that I decided to make a more permanent air cleaner. This woodworking information is courtesy of the WoodworkingTips web site.
 
Cyclone Dust Extractor
The dust extractor is a 40 litre Chlorine bucket on top of a 160 litre garbage bin.
 
Downdraft Sanding Table Air Filter
This unit is 27 inches tall and the squirrel cage alone is 12 inches wide. So it became soon evident that I couldn?t install this on the ceiling. I then decided to turn this project into a downdraft table/air filter/table saw extension instead. Because of the high CFM throughput, I was confident that this could work. The base is on casters and measure 40?X46?.
 
Drill Press Dust Collector
Wood chips and sawdust don t stay around long when you hook up this clamp-down collector to your shop vacuum or dust-collection system.
 
Dust Collection Cyclone
The purpose of this site is to share what I have learned with other woodworkers about the hazards of wood dust and what I did to help protect myself and my family. This particular page steps you through the process I used to build a blower. A blower is a powerful high-speed device that if you build wrong could cause serious injury or damage
