People believe that you should learn what you need to learn before you start your business around a skill you think you can perform better than others. I used to be one of those people because it took me years of learning and relearning the skill of woodworking before I finally started my business. It was my dream since I learned about it when I was still 15 years old. They may see it as just a creation of furniture, but I see it as a birthing of something beautiful. Think of me as whatever you like because I do not care. Woodworking is a noble job that I enjoy, and creating a business around it made me realise that there are skills that I still have not yet uncovered. One of them is masterfully using a silent air compressor that I bought in Singapore. It is an important tool in woodworking, especially if you want the work done fast and clean. So, let me tell you how purchasing one from Beng Chuan Machine had taught me how to use it for my advantage.
Being alive to see the emergence of technology, I am proud to say that it has shaped my thinking into something better. I make it to a point to get information on the internet whenever I need to know something. So, why shouldn't I consult it to know more about air compressors, right? In my search, I learned some of its history and its relation to woodworking. Its capability to contain and harness strong wind lets you control it to your advantage! For instance, portable air compressors are converted to use as a breathable gas container used by divers so they could breathe underwater. But, most of the time, it is used to build and create anything that needs a strong push by the air like nail guns.
It was in the year 1950that house construction processes were sped up with the use of air pressure. An operator is said to have penetrated 40-60 nails in one minute! With its pressure, it directly sends the nail to be driven into whatever material it is pointed at such as wood! As I read this, I knew I had to get one for my workshop. So, I decided to buy one from Beng Chuan Machine.
After sending an enquiry on their website, I was asked to go to their establishment so they could demonstrate their air compressors for sale here in Singapore to me. I agreed since I did want to know how to use a machine before I buy it. So, I went there and was welcomed by the employees with a smile. They led me to where they are storing their air compressors and told me a bit about the quality of their machines. In their 26 years in the industry, I was assured that they are the right ones who can provide me with what I need! So, when they demonstrated how to install it and use it on my woodworking projects, I was convinced to buy one. But, let me tell you a bit about what I learned from their demonstration.
Wear protective clothing
Safety is crucial when it comes to woodworking or any creative projects that need to be done with tools. So, wear protective clothing such as goggles, gloves, and thick shoes before you operate the machine!
Positioning
When you are going to use your silent air compressor, you should lay it down on a flat, stable surface not too close to the item you are working with. Then, connect the power cord to a nearby outlet.
Attach the hose
There is a regulatory valve in your compressor where you would attach the valve that will connect your tool. Make sure that it is secured and pushed into the machine so that air would not come out.
Plug your tool
Now that you have attached the hose, you can now plug your power tool into it. Make sure that there is enough hose to help you navigate the tool around what you are working on.
Test the tool first
Once you have it all ready, do a test on a defected wood or other material first. It will help you get familiar with the strength of your tool before you apply it on your project!
Learning is part of growing. As a woodworker, I still have a lot to learn but I am grateful for Beng Chuan Machine for helping me learn something new! I highly recommend their services and their portable air compressor sold here in Singapore!
