port cable bisuit cable & collection bag
Anyone know how to improve dust/shaving collection or the bag on a porter
cable biscuit joiner? The narrow opening gets clogged up - I end up takeing the bag off and letting it blow everywhere. There must be a better way. Shopvac connection seems cumbersome. TIA |

If the Shop Vac set-up is *cumbersome* with a biscuit joiner, wait 'til he tries it with a router. Bah!! Max |

Porter Cable offers a hose that will fit that
opening and will attach to a shop vac with a adapter. http://www.amazon.com/Dust-Collectio...9848029&sr=1-2 The bag is a waste of time... me wrote: Anyone know how to improve dust/shaving collection or the bag on a porter cable biscuit joiner?

There must be a better way. Shopvac connection seems cumbersome. TIA I have the same prob with my PC chopsaw. Plunging end grain produces mostly dust, which the dust port handles easily. Plunging into edge grain produces lots of little ribbons, which clog the works quickly. I suspect you're cutting a lot of edge joints? Alas, no easy fix, but a pencil will clear the port if need be. |

That was only when he used the PC version.
I thought he had DC on the Lamello he normally uses but now that I think about it, I'm not really sure. I know that the PC version was new to him. Leon wrote: "me" wrote in message ...

In the latest episodes of NYW that I saw back in the Spring when he was redoing his friends kitchen he was using the PC and it was throwing up a rooster tail of wood chips. |

He seems to have drifted away from the group.
I haven't seen him in a while. I believe he hangs out at WoodCentral these days. Leon wrote: "Pat Barber" wrote in message ... Yep...that was the first time I recall him using the PC-557 LRod could clear this mystery up. ;~) |
