ok, so I built this spray booth. Now I need the parts to finish it.

Looking for:

lathe bed (about 4')
tail stock with drill chuck
small head stock, 3 jaw chuck, and small motor

I just need to spin the butt and shaft to spray on sealer and finish. So I DON'T need anything large bore. Just something big enough to turn a spur and concave live center. I just don't know who supplies these parts or where to get them. Looking to do this as cheap as possible lol. ANY help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Nathan

To help you out with the lathe bed, Bassel was selling 2 beds with H channel.
$90 each. Just have to get a chuck and tail stock to go with it.

Other than that, Todd (TS&B) and a couple of others can also help you out with bed and channel as well as chucks and tails stocks for a decent price.

Pretty much what I use for a sanding/finishing lathe.

Nice job on the booth BTW.

A few bearings, some aluminum rod, springs, pulley's you can make out of delrin, a small motor and a few pieces of 2x4's is all you need. You can get everything you need from ebay for probably under $100.
 
Nate,
I doubt that much of what I have to say is what you want to hear but if you
can get beyond that, you may come away with something.

I would have built the lathe first and built the booth around it.
As is, you're limited by what you can put in there.
Also, I would have started with a garage-sale wood lathe.
They're already the right distance btwn centers, pre-made and a lot more stout.
They're easily converted to VS DC drive.

Forgive my asking but why the tail-stock drill chuck??? Are you drilling something?
I don't see the spur as being involved either. By the time you get to shooting
finish, your cue is done being built. Not a good time to be removing spur marks.
Put the drill chuck in the hd.stock and you don't need the 3 jaw. You wanted cheap.
At most you'll need a pointed live center to go with your concave.

I have never really understood exhaust filters. Those filter out some particles.
The dangers of shooting finish are not so much the air-borne particles but the gases.
You need to give some serious thought as to where you're going to be shooting finish.

I think that about covers it. LMK if I can be of further assistance.

Blue Hog - Thanks, it was fun building :)

KJ - I'm new to all this, so I may not be calling the parts the right things then lol I do appreciate what you're saying, thank you. I have a deluxe cue smith, and I want to have 2 separate areas to do this. 1 room for tapering, sanding and the other dirty jobs. The other area I want for sealing and finishing. I'm planning on setting up the spray booth in my basement door frame with the door open and the fan blowing to the outside. The top of the booth is going to have plastic sheeting clamped to it. I mainly built it for easy put up and take down, using hooks and eyes so I can store it when not in use. Plus I'll be using the water bourne sealer and finish, at least that way I don't have the toxic fumes of like the auto clear and other stuff like that. I got to thinking some after the original post, and really all i need is a section of the bed rail (maybe 4" - 6") and I can grab the tail stock off my deluxe and use the live center on that. I have a vise clamp and a drill that I can make work instead of the headstock and motor.

Thanks again for your input KJ :)

Is there a danger of explosions with motors?
Thanks, bill
 
Dave38 - Yeah, I keep forgetting about the search button lol good info, TY

JerseyBill, Graciocues and 63Kcode - I read on here ( I think) about someone had an explosion from doing the spraying with a standard fan. That's 1 of the many reasons I'm going to be using a waterbourne finish. Plus, I have enough health issues...I don't need anymore lmao
 
I bought this off e-bay , under 400 , and widened it 3 " on each side . mouted a BBQ rotisery , spins a little slow , but motor outside of booth and 2 big suction moter to draw the bad stuff outside the spray building . Works great .

i have a piece of dovetail at least 4ft long i may part with also you can build a headstock for a spray booth easily.
nice booth i would suggest a top and a door for the front with another filter in it to draw air through and the door so you can close it and suck all the fumes out quickly.
 
Hi,

Kj is right about the fumes being the most important thing to guard against for health as well as fire.

Having a blower that is not exposed to the fumes will safe guard against a spark fire.

Be careful,

Rick

Pipe ducting from our clean room where booth is operated. Motor mounted external with a belt drive system in a sealed unit to drive the blower impeller.

If you spray inside, you better be breathing air from outside.
And be wearing a hood and body suit ( your skin absorbs fumes ).
Car finish kills people .
Hell, car detailers mix them wearing respirators.
It is some serious sh t .

That is why I really like waterborne now. When I worked at a body shop, we ignored alot of the warnings and didn't always wear protection.

I paid DEARLY with some of the worst headaches I have ever had....
 
Many auto body shops are moving to water borne paints right now.

I was at the supply house today getting more clear and asked about it. They all think it's a joke because they still use the same clear, which has the isocyanates that everyone is trying to get away from. The funny thing is that most of the paints they are replacing with the waterborne paints don't have the bad stuff in them, only the primers and clears do.

That's true here in CA too Royce.
I was told by my local body shop, they are required to use waterborne for colors .
There is also a moratorium on body shops here. You can't get a permit for a new body shop anymore.
I know some makers love that IMRON finish. If you get caught spraying it here, it's some 250K I am told.

I think it's funny. They replace the base coat with waterborne, but the base coats don't have anything bad in them. They still use the same primers, fillers, and clear coats, and they all have bad stuff in them.

Our government at work!

I think sometimes they just want to be able to say they did something. It doesn't matter if it right or not.

It's a matter of perspective Royce.
Of 4 different components, you've eliminated the toxicity in one.
I see that as a 25% improvement.
