I am now going to be in a pinch to get our 5 hp DC set up. I just sold our 2 hp Grizzly that has been our go to pillar for a long time now. I figured the sell of that DC would help offset some set up cost for the Delta Cyclone.
The DC will be set up in a 20X20 Storage next to our shop so will not be the main shop area at all.
So my primary questions surround:
1. I want to use the Long Ranger Multigate System: http://www.pennstateind.com/store/LRGATE5.html
But from what I have read the system runs a 3 hp DC and we have a 5 hp DC. Also I want to run 6" gates and the system seems to only have up to 5" gates.
So I am considering doing something on my own with 6" gates.
I am struggling with this some since I am not an electrician. Through some online research I have learned that I might be able to fabricate my own system using low voltage switches and wire and some type of control box with a relay, maybe a 12v over 220v relay. Most of this is foreign language to me. I plan to pay a visit to Grainger tomorrow to see if they can help me with this design.
Is this something I can do with some shop made blast gates made with melamine or do I need to purchase metal blast gates.
Any direction regarding this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jerry
