Does anyone have a picture of what system they use to attach the dust
collection hose to their lathe?

I'll post a picture of mine for you in abpw as soon as I can did it up.
Very simple but effective.

See http://www.alaska.net/~atftb/fullsize/dustchute.jpg

I used some PVC plumbing stuff and an old metal lamp shade that was just
the right size to fit on the 4" pvc T. Sorry the photo is so fuzzy...

Dryer vent. Sticks to the ways with magnets.

Do any of you have an opinion about the one that PennState has for sale?
Thanks

No picture! But someomne asked about the Penn State "BIG GULP".

My personal opinion is that it's a waste of money. I have been using
mine for 6-8 months now. It arrived with a big chip broken out of the
corner. I didn't make a stink because it didn't affect the suction. The
way that the BIG GULP is designed it dissipates what suction value
there is. I was advised to modify the opening by closing the end
opening down with a baffle. I did this and it does have a slight
increase in the force but it still will not pull many chips in. What
size DC do you have? All I know is that my 1 HP Delta DC does not have
enought force to power it.

I got it with the articulating arm. I think it was around $60. That is
way overpriced for what it is. I think that you could easily make a
collection hood yourself by going to the local hardware store. there
is one photos posted on the net where a drier vent part was used. It
has a screen mesh to screen out really large chips. I replied
primarily because I would hate to see anyone spemd that much money on
something that just DOES NOT WORK!!

I use the stand and hood from Woodcraft with a 2hp "Big Yellow Gorilla"
from Onieda. It provides all the suction I need when sanding, which is
the only time I use it with the lathe, although I am considering
putting in a floor sweep to get the last of the dust & chips on the
floor after I clean up.
