Another WaterFall Reservoir

[CyberDruid]

Ypu have to explain the concept here, what does it do better than a regular res?

Or is it just fun to watch

It's Kennymester's design...I think it's really better answered by him.

Awesome!
I'd like to try my hand at acrylic for some testing stuff.

Any suggestions on the table saw blade? It looks like that might be more of a 60 or 80 tooth bit, but hard to tell. I figured a higher number of teeth and a nice new blade helps, but I havn't cut much acrylic yet.

And what glue is that, where do you get it? I've only used silicones before, no idea what a better bonding glue though.

Thanks!
Martin

You can get the solvent/glue that melts/fuses the acrylic from TAP Plastics or US Plastics online. I prefer Weldwood Medium but can't find it...you will also want to get a hypo to draw the fluid from the container and a capillary applicator and few spare tips.

Although you may not find one at Lowes or w/e you can find specialty blades for plastic and aluminum (they are sort of interchangable).

What you want is a high tooth count (80) ATB (Alternating Tooth Bevel) or Triple Chip with a Zero or Negative Rake to the teeth. Thin blades tend to "walk" and leave tooth marks. A standard 1/8" wide tooth on a thick blade is ideal.

I'll be making my own thread in a day or so's time, and I plan to incorporate what you've shown here. Who knows, I might have a new twist for you.

As always, though, a fan of your work. I seriously think I wanna order my wife one of these...

Give me a PM when you are ready

As martin stated, I'm curious to how you make the cuts.
I have a good 10" diablo trim blade that I use for sheet metal and other laminates.

For this I used a Freud 80 tooth ATB with a Silver nonstick coating...but I am not happy with it. The 80 tooth DeWalt cut better and neither cuts as well as the Plastic/laminates/aluminum blade I have misplaced...

So so good, is it restrictive?

Well as with any reservoir the restriction is the 1/4 BSPP fitting

No part of the interior is as restrictive as those ports
