Dust collection for scroll saw - have you seen this system?? I can't seem to find it again.

[oneleggimp]

Someplace I recently saw a picture of somene's dust collection setup for his scroll saw. He had several pipe fittings together from each of which there was a hose. one hose to the dust collector port under the table and another that went up along side the scroll saw and was zip tied to the overarm and came down right near the blade to collect the dust above the table and one to the dust collector (shop vac ?- not sure which). Maybe even a third hose for dust collection - not sure about the third one but there were two for sure. I can't seem to find the picture now. Anyone know the one I'm talking about??

Thanks for the hint but that is definitely NOT what I was thinking of at all. More than one hose TO the Scroll saw.-one hanging from the overarm right near the blade and one to the dust collection port under the table.

If you have a "dust collector port" you may have a craftsman?

That's interesting about the added noise from too small a pipes ,whistleing !That alone saves time wasted doing it to small.Thanks

The wasted time is caused by the use of too rigid incorrect tubing such as water hose used for pumps and pools ,there are a

lot of incorrect assumptions made from short cuts tried and the differences used with negative pressure versus positive ,

blower, fans bellows .fish pumps ,hair dryers ,There are a lot of differences with using plumbing fitting Y's ,tees and bulky ,contraptions ,expensive filter blowers ,fenwal couplings ,bulky ,funnel adaptors octopus arrangements and lack of cfm .

distances from dust sources ,reguardless ,of actual effeciencies and actual amount of actual dust collected and piping rat

nests created ,blocking use ,saw and area around saw , I suppose some feel the limited benefits are worth these limitations

while still having to use ,filters fans and still having to use masks and still having dust all over are worth the expense andplumbing nightmares . I have yet to hear any say any are (Dust Free) ! The combination of the wrong stuff took a long time to

work out ,some will never be satisfied ,some are easily satisfied and still have a mess on and all around their saw ,some are happy with just the blower and all the dust , all you have to do is look at the pictures to see which is which , wasted time

comments from the the dustiest and cluttered shops are remarkable . Please don't scoff till You actually have some thing that is (Dust free) and is user friendly .Well that's my rant for the day ,Peace and fun for everyone !
