Hey, did you guys know the exhaust really blows? I put a hose on the
output and directed it in to a 5 gallon bucket. Then, I ran a board
through... Those planer shavings are just like confetti! I had no idea
directing the output to a can like that was such a bad idea!

No wonder the home made chip collectors all had covered cans.


I bought my planer one day, then bought the dust collector the next day.

I used a lunch box planer from 1988 till about 2004 and never used dust
collection. I often lost the dog, a chocolate Lab, under the pile of
shavings. The new stationary planer had a DC added in 2005.
