Thanks Patriarch. This sounds like exactly what I'm talking about. I
can get some 2 1/2 hose to run down from the fence to the sweep 'Y'.
The 'Y' is 2 1/2 " ? Or were you at 4" there ? So these
plumbing/sewer fittings fit OK with DC parts ? What did you use to
connect into the box ? You wouldn't happen to have a picture around
would you ?

A picture would be way too ugly for posting on Usenet. ;-)

The bottom of the box has an outlet made by jigsawing a hole in the plywood
bottom to fit a floor tool from an old shopvac. The leaks are sealed with
caulk and duct tape, and the hose is clamped with a screw clamp. The hose
on the back of the fence fits the fitting supplied. The plumbing parts are
those which fit the hose I took to my local, well-supplied, independent
hardware store (there's a gloat, BTW) 5 blocks from my house.

(2.5 * 2) in, 2.5 out. I convert to 4" at the trash can seperator only if
I connect there. Often, this goes directly into one of the shopvacs.

It's nothing fancy. Bill Pentz would likely cringe at the sight of it.
But the chips are cleared, don't build up much in the router box, when I
remember to close the door, and I can move stuff around when I need to
change how the table works.

Hope that helped some.
