    Jaager got a reaction from mtaylor in Thinning water based paint   
    Rather than a heat gun,  a box with 100- 200-300 W of incandescent lights and a muffin fan or computer cooling fan
    would reduce the relative humidity and speed water evaporation.   The light wattage level = the settings to dry faster
    but not too fast, and you could do something else as it drys.
     
    I seem remember seeing photos of auto paint rooms with banks of heat lamps -- but that paint is solvent based, so drying rate
    there is probably a completely different equation.

    Guessing that you are asking about AliExpress
     
    Under  Home Improvement
    is tool
    try 12V DC motors
    and drill chucks
    also have water stones
     
    They have low cost flex shafts with 1/4" sockets and chucks that mount there.
    I needed for 1" / 2" / 3" bowl sander tools (hook & loop media mount)  ( PeachTree)- but I
    bit the bullet and bought a Kirjes flex shaft from Lee Valley  to finish inside frame bevels
    instead of the low cost Chinese  tools.
     
    The cost is generally very low at Ali  - and mostly they are reliable - shipping is surface post and
    not too long.   There were a couple of mistakes- and instead of a refund - I got some sort of something
    for a cell phone - a device that I am mostly a Luddite about.

    The General version has been on Micro Mark for a while.  There is a Jacobs chuck that fits it, so
    wire gauge bits can be used with it.

    From the pictures,  there seems to be a very important component missing:
     
    The plus added to your vac system by having a passive cyclone dust separator inline
    is difficult to over state.  Very little reaches the body of the vac.  I too have an Oneida

    An RCV switch - garage door type unit to turn on power to the vac - is very handy.

    The dust from a bandsaw is a somewhat minor aspect.  There is a vac port.
    With a cyclone trap, the vac filter does not clog nearly as often.  For me, it is
    the blades. 
    A table saw has finer teeth, and higher velocity, so the dust is a lot worse.
    A thickness sander IS dust. 
     
    A real advantage with a bandsaw is that if you have access to rural areas, and a
    chainsaw, wood can be harvested on the hoof.  Species can be obtained that are not
    available commercially.

    Why not use an aqueous aniline wood dye?
    Wood Craft has pre mixed concentrates that can be mixed to
    produce a continuum of possible shades.
    Test it on your available wood stock to find the best compatibility and result.
    With a deep penetrating dye, the grain is not hidden.
