Of all the "nice to have tools", band saw is number 1. I bought a 9" Delta table model, $99.00. Can't imagine building a 10 without it.

    Subject: Re: RV-10
    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Gary B. Jacobs" <gblayne@mchsi.com> I have a 3X rivet gun. I have air outlets all around the table with 90psi and wanted to be able to run the rivet gun at about 40psi and adjust it individually, so I hooked a quick release to a regulator, then to one of Cleaveland Tools' lightweight pressure hoses, then to a volume regulator/swivel, then to the gun. That way I can plug the gun in anywhere without having to worry about whether I reset the pressure. The pressure regulator seems to work well for setting the force of the gun and the volume regulator on the swivel makes it easy for fine adjustments. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Checkoway" <dan@rvproject.com> Subject: Re: RV10-List: RV-10 > --> RV10-List message posted by: "Dan Checkoway" <dan@rvproject.com> > > > Here are a couple of questions I need answered. > > What pressure are you running on your rivet guns?

    --> RV10-List message posted by: "Conti, Rick" <rick.conti@boeing.com> You got a great buy. I bought mine on a Sunday afternoon, probably would have paid a $1000 if I had to. I haven't been concerned (yet) about the table being perfectly level. All cuts are deburred and that helps to "straighten" the edges.
