  1. Focus on the Workspace
    Sorry if I am beating a dead horse but, I currently use a 16gal. Ridgid shop vac with a Hepa filter, dust bag and muffler following a Dustopper cyclone top on a 5 gal. bucket. Yes, I know it throttles the overall cfm flow substantially. As a very parttime hobbyist woodworker, my larger tools...
  2. Projects New toy and science experiment...gentlemen

    New To me Grizzly 656X, works great. Spent a few hours shimming the cutterhead and outfeed table to be coplanar to infeed. I also ended up replacing the OEM 3 HP motor. The motor worked perfectly fine, but was 220v only. I didn't want to run more 220v at the moment so I bought a 1.75 hp motor...

  4. Workshop Looking to convert Dust Collector to Cyclone Separator

    Back Ground: I got a good deal on a Delta Dust Collector, this unit is similar to others made by Central Machinery, Jet, Grizzly etc… Mine is a 1 ½ HP has two 4” – 6” input to the blower. Overall I find it works great at picking up the dust I create with a planner, jointer and table saw. My...
  5. Safety in the Woodworking Shop
    Hi everyone, There's a ton of good information on here about dust collection, and many people have posted comments that answer this question obliquely, but I want to ask it outright because this matters tremendously. For the purpose of my lungs, do I need dust collection or can I just wear a...
  6. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I have a new 14" Jet Bandsaw and after reading a few articles by Mike Fortune I want to install a second dust collection port on the lower left of the lower door. How do you cut an appropriate sized hole for the port and how to drill the holes for the bolts to affix it to the door? I appreciate...

  8. Marketplace Classifieds
    I have a WHOLE PILE of Nordfab ducting that needs a new home. I removed it from a shop that had a fire NEXT DOOR. There is some soot on some of the pieces, but it is all good stuff. I have probably 40+ pieces. Ranging from 8" diameter down to 4". Straight, Elbows, Y's, Reducers, Etc. The price...

  9. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I recently purchased a replacement remote control fob from Rockler. The item looks identical to the original fob that I purchased years ago. I finally got the fob to turn on a lamp that I used to test it. The fluorescent light turned on when I pushed the button. = However, the light light...
  10. Focus on the Workspace
    Hey folks. I'm a weekend woodworker with a very small shop (10x12). I've been able to make the space pretty efficient and usable, but now I need a better dust collection system. I've been using old canister style shop vac with smaller size hose. Not a great solution. I've been considering a...
  11. General Woodworking Discussions
    I've read in several places that it is actually less stressful on the dust collector motor when there are no blast gates open vs. leaving one (or more) open when not collecting chips. I can't wrap my head around this. Can someone please explain the physics behind this? I know I could measure...
  12. Projects Drill press dust collection

    My take. The back is simply a block for the knob and dowel on top. The hose mount is dry fit to the dowel so it can rotate 360 and removes easily. It also tilts left/right about 40 degrees, sucks 95% of the dust and cost me nothing.
  13. Focus on the Workspace
    Hey there, I've got a decent sized shop, with most of the 'basics' - 10" table saw, 14" band saw, 13" planer (DW735), 8" jointer (benchtop), 12" CMS, drill press, oscillating spindle sander, router table (in TS wing), and a 1.5 hp Delta 50-760 dust collector with a 4" SDD and Wynn cannister...
  14. Drill Press Station - Table/Lift/Fence/Vise/Drum Sander

    Drill Press Station - Table/Lift/Fence/Vise/Drum Sander My drill press is a small inexpensive bench top type, and until I get a good floor type one I am trying to get the best out of it. One of the first things I did was to change its old pole with a stainless steel one. Why stainless steel...
  15. A First Time for Everything! Tablesaw Jig! turns both inside and out of wood bowl!

    I don't think I've had this much fun with a Jig in a long time.. Check out the attached video to watch this really cool little jig in action! Using the jig i am able to use my table saw to create the traditional parabolic curved shape on the outside of a wood bowl. Fun project with great results!!!
  16. This table really sucks...downdraft sucking that is!

    Wanting to build a downdraft/outfeed table for a while now since I do a lot of sanding/shaping/carving with my intarsia, I searched LJ and the internet for ideas. I was happy with a style that I found through Clint Wenthur, the link to his project blog is here...
  17. Yacht Ladder

    I built this yacht ladder a couple months back for a customer in Seattle. It is made of phillippine mahogany. Stained with antique cherry water base from Rockler, very nice high pigment stuff. I finished it with a sprayed laquer. It was 10 6" long and 22" wide to fit the space. I was given a...

  19. Table Saw Dust Collector

    As I've posted before, I tend to take equipment, and materials work the best they can for my needs. I have gone to a whole new level now with permanent, "fixed"(I hope), dust collection. I have a "screamer" table saw that I built a massive rolling workbench for, with miter slots, and storage. I...
  20. Poor Mans Air Circulation System

    Ok stop laughing….ha-ha. I found this in one of my SHopNoyes mags and knew right away it wa for me. It is simple, inexpensive.. not sure how well it works. I needed something but can't afford one with a blower fan etc like I see in workshop and mags. It is better than nothing and maybe it will...
