dust collection

A few days ago I posted some information and a couple pics of my lower Dust Collection for a Craftsman TS. It was on Robert Delhommer’s Thread "Dust Collection on a Belt Drive Table Saw." This is an expansion of that post with pics that may help some other Craftsman TS owners. 1 The Sears...

I have been using a 5 hp Oneida Cyclone for the pass year and a half. I average about 50 gallons of debris a week, mainly from milling, not sanding. Dust and debris is pulled up and swirls around the clear flexible tube from the 55 gallon drum when there is only about 12" of material in the...

One of the first things I activated in my shop after running electrical to the existing structure was a few lights and my air compressor. It's a 6hp, 60gal unit in a fixed location on a dedicated 220V circuit. I've used either a 50' hose or a 100' hose dragged around my 36'x24' shop to do...

I recently completed more of my dust collection system and added the overhead system for my tablesaw that I've planned for a long time. Rather than take up space on the forum server with a bunch of photos, I added a page to my website. To see my installation, click here.
