Dan Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Jerry, are you snorting plywood dust again? Just kidding. Dust collection is a wonderful thing. DukeNukem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Ha, well I have at least 99% less on my lap, shoes and foot pedal. I added this box yesterday. Not as good as your dust collection, but it is quiet. blights69 and DukeNukem 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeNukem Posted March 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Ha, well I have at least 99% less on my lap, shoes and foot pedal. I added this box yesterday. Not as good as your dust collection, but it is quiet. I thought about drilling a hole where the dust drops and putting the nozzle in it but came up with this instead.

jerry1939 Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 I cut a wide apron out of a blue tarp. Whenever I get up to drill more holes, I dump it into the waste basket nearby. Shop vac the saw and floor about every hour. jerry DukeNukem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazingkevin Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Nice work i should follow, in your shoes.I have 3 fans custom fit on plywood to fit in the door frame on one end of the shop and one fan mid way the 25' shop and one at the other end of the shop to funnel dust out the warehouse.After a days work i get the blower and blow the heavy stuff down to the 3 fans .

AK Moose Nugget Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 We aren't supposed to SAVE the sawdust??? OMG!! I have been cringing every time a speck gets on the dog and he runs out. Good news is I can give back my wife's Tupperware I have purloined for sawdust storage. DukeNukem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blights69 Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 I leave mine on the floor then I know by the prints its only me who has been in there Frank, and if more than mine I just follow the trail from the shop to the culprit simples. heppnerguy and AK Moose Nugget 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Lehner Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 However when I am sanding my pieces .... when warm temps come again I open the overhead door, place a fan behind me and let the dust blow into the alley.... I also have one of my small compressors there to blow the dust off the pieces before I stain and assemble. In fact in the summer I sometimes open the overhead door and use my small battery operated blower and "sweep" the floor of my shop with the blower..... much quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye10 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Jerry I am sorry to hear you are having a problem getting enough dust under your table. My suggestion is spend a lot more time in your shop scrolling. Edited March 19, 2017 by hawkeye10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 And I know this has been said, but gotta chime in some. Square fan with Filter attached on Right side of Hegner. Medium size fan on Left. Both fans can be moved depending on size of project. Paul..........Have had a plastic enclosed basket attached directly below my Saw. Catches most all dust, etc. that falls. Just my 2 Cents...........Danny :+} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
