jay5 Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Didnt you already have a pin router? Where the h@!! are you going to put that thing? Cant wait to see it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdguitars Posted April 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 ha ha yea I am going to sell the other ones for this one. its a f'n heavy duty machine more so that anything here is what the machine kinda looks like, I dont have full blown pics, and my machine looks 1000 times better -derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay5 Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Good lord! Better start making up some templates, one for walls and one for a roof. Youre gonna need an addition to that garage of yours! On a more serious note, will that run off a normal 110 volt outlet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 The better question is will it run off single phase power? Wiring up a 220 outlet isn't a huge problem, but phase converters are very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdguitars Posted April 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 ha ha yea thats the bad part, need to drop another 500 on a phase converter... but all in all, this is an italian pin router that kicks any cheapo version that grizzly or woodworkers supply sells. plus it will run for years.... will post pics tomorrow or friday depending on when I get it..

mledbetter Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 man that thing is a beast. Still, even after the phase converter you're out less than you woudl be with a new 2-3 hp one. Not sure why you need 10hp.. other than why not! You ought to rent out machine time to some local door makers or something.. start making mouldings on the side. lol..

I will post specs later I still need to get into this tool and figure it out. oh yea my other pin routers will be for sale along with my craftsman jointer. if you in chicago and need some tools let me know, time to clean house... need a phase converter too. edit- here is the name of the router... PUNTI-DI-INGRASSAGGIO E205 Its made it italy, I still have no idea what the hp rating is the guy had no manual. anyone know where to get a manual or something for this? -Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay5 Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 So when do you think you will have this up and running? It definately looks like its in good shape. Who makes it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 I run my shop off of a phase converter and have for over five years. Don't buy a static converter, buy a rotary. Made that mistake once. The rotary is worth the extra moolah. Cleaner power, less maintainence, less headaches. Much longer life. Buy the next largest size if you can swing the bucks. This is because if you decide to buy one that is exactly the size that you need you will almost immediuately find a tool that you can't live with out at a great price that will have the larger motor. Murphy. Look at the Kay Industries converters. Reliable and quiet, for a converter. Website is Kayind.com. Great units, superb customer service. Not cheap but since you probably came close to theft on the pin router you can afford it. I have a bunch of info from the IWF trade show in Atlanta. I'll dig through it this weekend and see if I can find who the distributor was for that beast, and I'll post it for you. The Italian stuff is great but can be annoying to find manuals, parts, etc. I am envious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdguitars Posted April 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 its not wrong to say this but I love you! I was just going to send you an email asking you how to run this puppy... thanks for the link, yea finding manuals and all that will suck bigtime, I have no idea the HP on this sucker the shop said 10, other like models like the scmi r8 run 6.6hp. Heck I could settle for 5 I am only running guitar bodies. No one has noticed the two stage oil air regulator? that thing alone runs $$$... I am very happy with the purchase though it does look odd as heck in my garage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will most likely take you up on that offer of your current pin router. I will probably let you know for sure either tonight or tomorrow.

jay5 Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 XLR8, thats a pretty sweet pin router you have there. Much more my speed than BigD's monster. Where did you get it, how much? BigD, I noticed those regulators on the side but had no idea what they were. What do they do? Does that mean youre gonna need more equipment to get this beast going? What was your origonal pin router? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr8 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 XLR8, thats a pretty sweet pin router you have there. Much more my speed than BigD's monster. Where did you get it, how much? ← I found it on eBay here in the UK, I think I paid around $1000 for it. It is such a useful and versatile machine, my router table only gets used for rounding over the bodies now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jer7440 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Man BigD nice find. What are you looking to get for the jointer? What are the specs on it? I live in Grand Rapids MI. so not too far away. If the price was right.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdguitars Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 oh crapola, I wanna see that CNC machine working and drop off my LP top that you are going to do for me! My parents live up in south haven and I am up there all the time, so lets talk. I will pm you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushy the shroom Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Man.. I wish I had one of those. My vintage handheld routers are starting to look a little incompetant. Hey you live in Chicago? Nice, I live in Ann Arbor, a couple hours away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
