Default Delta 14" band saw dust collection

I modified the little factory port to 2", placed a 4"& 2" Y behind the saw.
Its mounted at the top of the leg with the 2" port facing toward the now
modified factory port. Then I cut a 4" hole in the door just below the
center of the drive wheel. A 4" flex hose runs from the door around the
left side, over the motor and connects to the Y. Works great and no problem
chanhinh blades since the door hinge swings toward the motor where the 4"
hose runs. Looks ungainly, but no more choking on fine dust.

I did the door and it works real well, wish I had done the back side
though. Dust collector in door makes it hard to change blades.

I searched Google for some info on dust collection for my saw. Not much
luck.
Anyone know of a better set up than the factory small port?


drill a 4" hole in the back of the saw right behind the blade or in
front on the door. this works pretty well.
