Dust collector on compound slider

[Rich Aldrich]

This is the best one I have seen: http://www.woodmagazine.com/dgroups/...d-8718baf94e4e

It was designed and built by Richard T T's of Nova Scotia.

It is also in Wood Magazine's Best Shops of 2009.

Very interesting, thanks for posting.

Like he said, you'll need major air flow to make that work. It's more of an air scrubber when it comes down to it.

I wonder if a squirrel cage/filter set up would work better for that application. You could build a hood for it much like what you see over a stove top in the kitchen. Then you could use your DC and ducting to control the larger chips.

I am interested in making this one for my Bosch 3915. The hood is a BF28 footing form by Big Foot Systems - http://www.bigfootsystems.com/include/bf28.htm You can search their website for dealers near you. The closest one to me is in Iron Mountain, MI.


I found the PETG at Grainger - http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg...e&CatPage=2795

I am going to see if a couple of smaller sizes of PETG will work for my arrangement because it is not portable.

I really like it -

The laser beams width matches the kerf of the blade. The Laserkerf comes in the two most popular blade widths of 3/32"(Model 100) and 1/8"(Model 125).

So the width of the laser = width of the blade so it is equally accurate on either side of the blade.

I had a Model 100 on my old crapsman RAS that could only power a thin kerf blade so when I got my 12" delta RAS I bought the Model 125.

hate to highjack my own thread but thanks for the info. I have been looking at the Laserkerf. Seems like I can use it for a few different applications. Its on my list now. Thanks again
