If you put this In your 2*2*5...your avatar will match your plants...
It will be better with 2 cob @1400mA or better @1050mA as Rhaz said...!
But 1400mA would be ok and since he made some...!...you will have your stealth fighter...no a tasty panel sorry...lol!

No, but that's an interesting idea. The rip saw is super fast but it takes two people. I'm open to trying new methods for processing styrofoam or sheet metal. I just bought a hand sander tonight, cleaning drill chads and preping the aluminum for coating just got a lot faster.

make a hot wire cutter use like bandsaw ?

No kidding. When I'm not at work I spend most of my time in the workshop. I've set up a sound system in there so it's cool
but things are still off and on at this point. I'll work like crazy for a couple days and then run out of things to do while waiting on drivers. I can only afford so many at a time still, and lead times even with air shipping is around 2 weeks. There have been delays from my main supplier as well. I suspect Meanwell is just taking their time getting production of the 240s in gear trying to figure out what demand will be. A couple more months and I should be able to start overlaping component orders and order larger quantities.The hot wire cutter wasn't quite hot enough. I built one based on a power supply I had laying around. I would have to spend a few bucks to build one I could slide styrofoam through easily. I'm very happy with the rip saw. It will process a sheet of foam in about a minute. As fast as I can push it through. When the idea first hit me I figured it would tear the foam to shreds but it produces a perfect cut.

Tre Fantastique! I can't wait to run the similar combination here. My dimensions will be 1.22m wide by 1.83m tall, and I'll be using four sets of 4 COBs at 50W apiece.

2 things stand out about the roll taps
they are strong due to their extruding vs. cutting action and technically this is a cold forming process, so even the threads left behind are said to be stronger again because of the extruding action....
I shot my mouth off earlier though and there is no such thing as spiral flute for roll taps for blind holes, duh on my part....spiral flutes are for removing cut material....oops....
But what is available for roll taps is a fluteless bottoming tap [for blind holes] and actually roll taps are recommend for blind holes especially because they leave no chips!
You can also find traditional spirals for thru-hole, but mainly a fluteless tap will work for both in the case of roll forms.
Balax makes a lot of the littler stuff in decent prices $15 US...
but I do know for M3, just go with a 4-40 tap like normal but your pilot hole has a smaller clearance tolerance than traditional tap....
In the Tapping Thread... I thought posted a chart with roll tap dimensions with pilot bit sizes included.....but now I cant seem to find it....so you may have to google Roll tap pilot hole sizes....

yeah that not cost effective
packing & cartons are a PIA but ya gotta do it right for sure
also I thought about this as I packing a/c parts for a major airline in a past life
get a cheap knock off track saw the plunge type , set plunge to match depth of foam
you could work the top of the stack of styro down by one person
no large saw sitting on valuable floor space
safety factor increases majorly as well

Thanks a lot mon ami!
122x122x183...4x4x6 with 800w (4x200w...200w for 2x2!) I hope you have hlg b version!
I have 17w sq/ft (12x17=204) and you 50w sq/ft...so 3 time more light!
Now that I know what they can do I will aim for 450/500w in my box...no more I guess...but I will try more to be sure...lol...!
What is the maximum weight people can pull from a 4x4 with 3 foot plant?

You mean there is a company that can actually sell a cob light today or in the next week?
