Hi guys,
I'm trying to put together a downdraft sanding box so I can continue with some projects that require hand sanding. The problem is that I don't have a real dust collection system yet, I have the festool 22 vac and a shopvac.
Currently I have built the box carcass, it's 6x24X36. I was thinking of making the inside part of the box with angled sides for the funnel effect through the hole? But with the vacs I have, it seems I don't have enough cfm to get a good uniform suction going if I place the dust port on the long side of the box. I was thinking of attaching the hose directly to the circle opening?
Is that the best way to do this? I'll make something with a better design in the future, but just want to get moving on some of my projects . Thanks for your help!
