The pid controls the temp with thermocouple. The pid on my oven controls an outlet that turns the heater on and off. I also have a 110v gas valve connected that controls the flow of gas.

@mlc_fab thanks. That was My question about, may be y was not clear enougth. Do You hace info about the valve?

Yes. It was a lot of fun. lol. But I enjoy the work. Was just way more than I planned on. I had Send cut send make the brackets. Wasn’t a whole lot if I remember correctly. I’ll get the files sent over. Seen your messages. Just had my ACL reconstructed. So I’m down for a bit.

@@mlc_fab oh man. I hurt and it wasn't even me. Best recovery to you. Send them whenever. You Heal

1 small piece in the beginning. None since. Make yourself some bend ref tubes with it. You will be able to figure out the bend location every time. I also recommend going to JD square and down loading the instruction manual for the model 4..alot of good information there.

Thanks for the comment. There is an adjustable vent on the lower corner of the door. Temperature is maintained by the PID.

It is called out as 49-54 kit. Im not sure what the difference is with 48. I can check measurements on my car and compare to yours to see.

I actually thought about selling mine for a minute. But once I got use to using it. It is really not that bad. It’s more complicated when not using model 4 specific dies. But not horrible.

Thanks for the comment! The ram and the pump are both the units that come with the bender from JD squared. I believe they have everything called out on their website. The pump is electric 110v. 3 qt 4000 psi pump. The Ram is a 10 ton ram. www.jd2.com/hydraulics

Thank you for the comment! It is a great feeling to watch a drawing come to life.

If you bought the Primeweld new. It should have came with a plug for the machine that goes on the back. You just have to wire it for your machine.

72" 16" break away

Depends on the pump used. In the first video for the power pack the pump was capable of 4000 psi at 4000 rpm. The second pump had more GPM @ 2000 rpm but 2700 psi at 3000 rpm.

The aluminum plates were da sanded with 40 grit. The steel plates were phospate washed only prior to powder coating. The customer specifica;lly asked for no sand blasting for the enviroment the plates are going into. He did not see the value add for the blasting. Yes I do sandblast parts prior to coating when necessary.

@@mlc_fab ok thanks.

I’m hoping my stuff was a fluke. I’m really considering just building my own lowers. I would like to go coil over now. I can make it work. Just shouldn’t had to do this much correcting. If you’re anywhere near Indiana I can help you square it up. I actually have a crossmember drawn . Thinking about making some.

@@mlc_fab I bought the guys entire kit, so maybe the lowers won't be an issue? Luckily I am a machinist at a hotrod shop so I can fix it if I need to. I was just hoping to do the front end kit in a day, so I guess I should probably check everything before I pull the car apart. I really appreciate your generosity, and if you need any cad assistance or manufacturing process aid with developing your own kit I would love to help.

@@wadeduffey3809 I am actually a design engineer for my day job. I design heavy haul semi trailers. But thanks for the offer! The rack mount will have to be changed as well. I just about have that video ready. I think I'm going to be using a mustang bump steer kit to get everything back to where it really should be.

Yup, my kit is just as bad.

@@wadeduffey3809 Sorry to hear that.

I Start with the regulator all the way off. slowly..and I mean slowly turn it up until you start to see air streaks through the powder. this is with the lid off. I have a stirring stick I use to agitate the powder. Should look like slightly simmering pasta sauce. Just the occasional bubble. It takes very little air pressure. It really doesnt even hardly register on the gauge. I do a quick trigger pull to check and back off if I need to. This has worked well for me. I have puked quite a few hoppers of powder onto the floor from too much air pressure.

@@mlc_fab Thanks for the quick reply. Watching your videos is what made me buy the electron setup over other brands. I haven't tried adjusting air pressure with the lid off, I'll give this a try.

Thanks for the comment!

I’d like to see some pics of the table on the mini lathe that seems like a cool deal.

@@mlc_fab I have some UA-cam shorts on my channel.

Thanks for the comment! The heater is 170,000 btu.

Yes it does. plus around a $1000 in materials and about 5-6 hours labor.

Thanks for watching! Glad the video could help!

I got them through a local Semi van trailer Maunfacturer. Wabash calls it duraplate. Vanguard has a version of it as well which is what i used.

I still use it from time to time for something quick and easy if I dont want to change collets.

Thanks for the comment! Yes, there will be alot fab work and powder coating through out.

Thank you! Going to be a fun journey.

My ground is a 6 ga wire ran right through the wall to a 8' -0" x 5/8" ground rod. Roughly about 8-10' from the ground tab on the booth. Then I attached the ground from the the Electron to the same point.

Thanks for the comment. I am using the pump that comes with the system from Electron. I'll leave the link to the hopper in the comments as well as the description. First in finshing also sells all of the quick disconnects.

Pump came from McMaster-Carr. Seems to be built by wolverine just not labeled as such, part number 6296K27. The pump mount came from One Hydraulics E575522A : MAGNALOY 5.75 PILOT ENG MOUNT SAE A X5.25. Used a love joy coupler to connect the pump to the motor.

1800 complete minus fluid and battery.

Thank you!

The main reason for the forced air heater was because we had one in the shop. When it worked I bought one similiar to it.

How can I help you?

I have actually been considering running a chimney to the outside. The only vent I currently have in the oven is in the lower corner of the door. To help with pressure inside the oven.

Thanks for the comment! At the time I bought this it was right at 3000 for the unit with 4 hoppers. I purchased it from “First in Finishing”. Mooresville, Indiana. Talk to Monte McClung. 317-439-9019

Thank You!

Yes it has auto ignite. It had a thermostat and I bypassed it.

Was trying to get all the joints before moving on the the whole thing.

Thanks for the comment! That is in the works here in another month or so. Going to do some shop re arranging. Since Podwer coating was an after thought.

Wish they had been out when I bought these. But about a year too late. Plus the harbor freight table tops bolt down..where these are welded to the frame. But the tooling looks spot on with a change in color.

It was more of a buisness decision. I was still quite happy with the RC-1. But decided I wanted to step up to a commercial gun since I was taking on more powder coat work. The RC-1 is a great gun but I really wasnt happy with the hoppers. I tried all the versions of the hoppers had a bout the same success with all. 2-3 coat jobs are so much easier with the Electron. I still use the RC-1 for some jobs where I have a quick powder change. I just felt the investment in the Electron was the right decision for my buisness.

Are you taking safety shut off? Or just standard shut off?

I was just wondreing if you had to do any mods to the heater itself? I see some vids of people putting a propane shut off in the heater on smaller BTU heaters@@mlc_fab

@@rjwentworth4168 I ran the heater just as it came out of the box for 6 months. Eventually bypassed the thermostat. Then had to replace the gas valve after it gave out. replaced it with a 110v valve I had here.

thank you i'm just getting thing in order to start powder coating. I currently have a 4x5x8 oven I'm building. trying to learn as much as possible before I start@@mlc_fab

12-16 hours of oven time. With pid if the part was in the oven for 40 minutes. The heater would only be on for roughly 20 minutes of that.

thats nice. do you have the wiring diagram od the PID controller and the relay?@@mlc_fab

@@sergioavitia7487 I can put something together for it.

Thanks
