Hello Mark or Juanita,
I upgraded Bandsaw Number 1 to a dedicated resaw machine with Carter
guides. I was able to retain an older version of a dust collector duct
that slips in front of the guides and is held on by a knob through a
tthreaded hole drilled in the base.

That's where this one goes as well

Additionally I had my welder
friend plasma cut a 4 inch hole in the lower wheel cover that I
attached an alumnum blast gate to and with both ducts in operation the
dust that "get's away" is minimal.
Somebody who markets the Carter Guides- and I beleive it to be Louis
ituurra (second plug in as amny days) warns about the incompatibility
of the guides with the Delta DC adapter. Were you forewarned at all?

Didn't see any warning regarding this. I can see some ways to make it
work such as bending the alignment bracket and cutting some metal from
around the places there is interference. Just wanted to see if others had
found a more elegant solution.

Just installed a set of Carter guides on my Delta 14" bandsaw and found
that the Delta dust-collection duct (after-market add-on, not the vacuum
cleaner hose connector) no longer fits. It looks like the bracket that
holds the duct to the table is where the interference occurs. I have an
idea of how to fix it, but was wondering if anybody else has encountered
this issue and what you did?

TIA
