    Made some changes to the Dust Collector System

    I made an alcove in the wall behind the Dust Collector which allowed me to set in back further and give to 6" Flexible Duct a straighter shot into the fan. I also installed a remote control for it. On the Table Saw I turned it around so that the outlet faced the other wall and cut the 4" hose down and this gives it a straighter shot into the system. Here are some pictures and I think things will work out pretty good this way.
    This shows the Dust Collector an the alcove along with the Flexible Duct having a smoother shot into the fan.

    This shows the Table Saw Turned and the hose getting a shorter and straight shot into the system.

    Things are coming along very well now and these little changes make the system work better I think.
    I want to create love in my woodworking with a love for woodworking.

    The system will work even better if you get rid of the flex hose. It really cuts down on the airflow. I minimized my use of it and what a difference it made!
