Hawk Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 As I get better dust control overall in my shop one of the last issue to address was my dremel. I use it quite a bit for shaping the segmentation and as I venture into intarsia, that too. In the past I would wait for a nice day, cart everything outside and sand there. While mowing the lawn last week I got to thinking on that (I do a lot of deep thinking while riding the lawn mower (lol)). In the picture is what I came up with. It's 4"PVC with the top part I got from a local woodworking shop. I put a piece of windows screen to catch the pieces that pop out of my hands and it's set at a height that allows me to sit on my stool while sanding. I've used it a few times and it seems to be doing the job as I envisioned. Chris Jim McDonald, Lucky2, Dan and 6 others 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Chris, I made one years ago, I modeled my after a downdraft table. It did a perfect job, I'll have to try to find it. It's not as good looking as yours is, but it worked fine for what I wanted it for. Len OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
