Default buying a dust collector


"Toller" wrote in message
Can you email me pictures of your enclosure? I have been giving it some
thought but can't come up with anything that will be air tight, yet allow
the saw to be adjusted. I was thinking about duct taping a heavy plastic
tarp around the motor to allow it to move without leaking; yet allowing

the
cooling fan to work.

Thanks.


Sure, give me a few days to get out there. It is simply a piece of 1/4"
plywood across the back with a couple of cutouts for the belt and motor
bracket. It does not come up to the top and it seems as though does not
have to. The way I made it, the motor cannot tilt. Takes but 30 seconds to
remove it though. Maybe someday I'll make it for the motor to tilt, but I
rarely use it that way.

Under the saw is the Delta accessory. It is just a piece of molded plastic,
rectangular, that angles down to the center dust port. You can easily make
one if you have a different brand. I'd use 1/4" plywood and buy a 4" port
or adapt one that is commercially available.
