savethebeer Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Last week my dust blower ceased working. It was very difficult blowing dust away as I cut. I had hovered my saw and the dust connection regularly and thought I was doing enough to keep it working OK , but today whilst re arranging and spring cleaning my whole workshop, I decided to turn my saw [gently] upside down to empty some sawdust that I could see. I could not shake it out so I used a narrow piece of wood through the hoover connection and scooped out loads of dust that had been wedged under the lower arm. Lo & behold, my dust blower is working again. I will be doing some extra cleaning in future SCROLLSAW703, Scrolling Steve, wombatie and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 I have saw dust, tiny little dead flies, shavings, bits of wood everywhere but it will have to wait until all of my orders are finished, then it will be a giant sized clean up.

WayneMahler Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 When I get a chance to clean up my shop. I'm sure I will find things that have been missing for quite a while. After the holiday season I'm looking to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
