The cost of 6" blast gates is not a concern for me.


One of the biggest problems with dust pickup is how it is gathered at the
source. So if you don't mind spending on 6" blastgates, you may want to
consider having custom sheetmetal pickups for al your equipment. You hook that
up to the Woodsucker, you should hav eno problems. Also, don't forget to have a
dust pickup for the tablesw guard; it's a huge generator while ripping.


TKS for your comments Daryl. My biggest concern ATT is getting the dust from under my
General 350 TS. I installed their dust port thingie on the right side, but I can't
tell any difference when it is connected to my big ShopVac. I will have to build
something inside the cabinet sort of like an inverted and truncated pyramid with a
round opening in the bottom. I can make that out of 1/4" Masonite and a female
fitting. Sucking dust from the top should be no problem since there are square and
rectangular intake nozzles for that sort of thing.
