Dust Collection

[Rockytime]

IAP is filled with great ideas and methods. I'm showing my two favorites. The first is the canning funnel for dust collection. When I saw it I remembered exactly what it was. My mother used one every year during canning season except hers was metal. A quick trip to Ace Hardware and $2 later I was in business. The other is the copper rail allowing the dust collector to move from left to right. These ideas were not posted for themselves but were shown while demonstrating something else entirely. I just happened to notice them. Don't know or remember who the posters were that used these ideas but I hope they will make themselves known so I can thank them.

Great ideas.
I have the pefect lathe to set this up on.
Much easier then moving the end (from lathe to lathe) everytime.

Thanks

Have two hoses (or more) and set up gates to control which one is in use, to maximize suction at the station you are working at.
