Well that's true. I suppose I wan't willing to sacrifice the airspace above the saw etc to do a more gradual drop.

They are and so far it's humming along just fine though it's a really short run. My hope was to use two 45*s separated by maybe 18" or straight pipe but there just isn't a way to do that in that...

Onieda is where I sourced the 24ga pipe. They sell it in 48" lengths for anyone who is shopping for that. I read conflicting accounts of the best recommended gauge to use. In hind sight, I kind of...

Managed to conquer it the other day. A tip someone gave me to secure one end with vice grips did the trick. Also, I had to cut a couple into shorter sections which meant they went together a lot...

Thanks to several of you on this forum, I finally got my DC system started. I have some work to do to add collection to my new router table, miter saw. i also need to modify the table saw to accept a...

I tried his method. That video doesn't help at all. I've pried the female end open like he suggests and it still just flies apart.

Has anyone encountered any tricks for snapping 24g Snap-loc straight pipe together? I purchased mine from Oneida and I've tried a few pieces. I can't get a single one to snap together. I've tried...

Great info. I'll look at just a 4" port on there in that case. The cabinet design I'm planning to use has a plexiglas front in the dust collection chamber where the motor rests in the lift. The...

Huh... I was mistaken. It's a 2 1/2" port on the fence. In that case, I'm thinking go 5 or 6" for the cabinet. I wonder if there's a way to retro fit the fence to be a 4" port though.

I'm about to build a cabinet to house a router. I plan to use the Kreg fence which I believe has a 4" port but in the cabinet itself, the plans I'm following (From Creston Wood) show a 4" port there...

I built a 6' or so long work bench that I want to re-home now that I've completed some cabinets for the shop. It's a simple thing but strong with a lower shelf and four shallow depth but long...

I did a just a little resawing with it and it seemed to be powerful enough. I believe I cut slices off a 10 or 12' high chunk of maple if memory serves. I'll be in the all around user category as...

I had occasion to use the 18bx recently and really liked it. I like the 14bx and it's basically just a higher capacity 14bx in terms of fit, finish and how it is to use. I like the non-bearing guides...

I just started with new stock. I'll turn the ruined wenge wood pieces into a smaller box I guess! Actually, I noticed that the guide fingers themselves were distorted in the catastrophe as now one...

Well, i tried all that (salt too) and no dice. Oh well.

I was making a box for a friend last night when my straight bit #160 decided it was done with me. I have already cut all my tails and now that I've replaced the bit, I see that the fingers on the jig...

I keep running up against a problem which I assume there must be a trick or a better way of doing. I've been asked to create a small rolling cabinet for someone to replace an ugly plastic unit. It...

Not RIGHT behind it. Just around it. I have an outfeed table as well. The issue is that the dust port is on the LEFT side of the saw. Right where I walk to approach my workbench, leave via my garage...

Huh, well now that raises an interesting question: Assuming dust collection WAS to the left, that would mean stepping over the hose each time you went around the saw. Or it would mean your stock...

I can't put it on the right side, as that's where the motor is but I could put it at the back. This at least would remove one 90* angle from the equation. I could theoretically plumb a 45 instead of...

Hmm... I'm not on drugs (yet) but I suspect I may need them if someone asked me to put a dust port on the opposite side of a machine from where it goes.... :D

Is it just me or was Grizzly on drugs when they placed the cabinet DC port on the LEFT side of the cabinet for this saw? This would effectively introduce TWO right angles, back to back in the dust...

Looking around online and not finding too many (none actually) first hand accounts of using this saw. Thought I'd share a little info and impressions.

I've used the 14bx and really like that saw....

That's good to know. I just got the new 220 circuit in for it. Next going to purchase duct. Looking at costs, in my case there is only about $100 between PVC and Snaploc but I'll probably go with the...

Ah ha! You mean back to back so that feeding wouldn't be hampered by the other machine? For now the planer runs on 110 and the jointer is theoretical but I have 110 in my ceiling and could easily add...
