You might even marry some pvc into the support arm (along with the
pipe for some dust extraction).

Jeff, I think your idea of using PVC for a dust collecting support arm
has a lot of merit.

Some merit, anyway. I tried that about a year ago; even 2" PVC is disappointingly flexible
over a span of 4+ feet, and requires overhead support.

:-(

One could pick up a few ideas from the support arm of this unit:

That's what I modeled mine after (except I put the dust port in front where it belongs). I used
PVC mostly for proof-of-concept, and will probably re-do it some day using EMT or RMC.
