Multifasited Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 The right kind of blower can be turned into a suction device,to remove all the dust from your scroll saw,when set up properly and a lot quieter than a large shop vac. I just converted mine today,everything remains the same only, the converted blower replaced the vac, as the suction device,all I hear now is the suction at the blade area top and bottom. I designed (plug and play)so if needed I can go back to the vac, in 2 min.will test for a while before moving the vac. back to my shop !Shop vac is 16 gal. 6 peak hp. blower is 2 hp. Should be cheaper to operate, and far less noise for neighbors to hear as mine is on the porch! Blower I recycled and repaired defective switch. I installed clear panel with adapter on intake,replacing screened guard. Carl amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Noise is always nice not to hear.I'm still not set up for dust collection on my saw but the pipes are installed on the saw ready to connect to a dust collector. :) :) :) :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multifasited Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Sounds like your ready for a trial ,I suggest you use a large vac. first . make sure it works good first, Quieting down a system that does't work well is of little benefit ! Getting a suitable Blower may take sometime to find ! Almost everybody has access to a suitable vac. That was the main reason I went that way ! So I could modify and perfect,then I new what worked well and could find a suitable quieter power supply,sort of reverse engrng.
