Pimp my Table

admin

My wife had got some larger tables for pouring ceramic molds at a company sale. They were intended for more volume then she does. Basically, once recovered the slip from the mold remains in the table and is pumped out. As little as she does the tables need to be emptied and cleaned up each time. She cannot leave the slip in the tables.She can now use one to clean up molds with water and the other to do her mold pouring. Both tables have telescopic legs. The table without actuators simply uses an "I" shaped beam if there is a need to get it higher. The table with the cylinders will actually be the pouring table. There need to be a way to drain and recover the slip when the pouring is done. By adding pneumatic air cylinders, when the pouring is done she can drain the slip in the bucket. This keeps the table down at a good height for her work.
Reply:Cool.How much weight can the pneumatics accommodate?That would make a cool addition to a light duty fabrication table.
Reply:They are 1.5" cylinders... at a 100psi that is 150lbs per side. There is a regulator to help control the air. A little clunky but works for it's intent. I got the cyl for $30 each off ebay.
Reply:Actually, 100 psi on a cylinder with a 1.5 inch bore would give more like 177 LBS of force.Miller Thunderbolt AC/DC (Sold)Miller Dialarc 250HFMiller MM251Miller MM200 (Sold)Miller MM130Miller Spot WelderVictor O/A rigMiller Spoolmatic 1 (Sold)

Reply:Thanks, btw I got the area of a circle. Just wasn't breaking it down that specific.Had to put in a false bottom due to the fact that the drain was on the side. Worked good though.
