Dust hoods

[WriteON]

Please show your dust collection hood. I'm working on something but need a few options/ideas for a 48" Taig. Currently working (sanding) on 36" dowels. The dust chute will be moved as I sand. The bench it is on is narrow and close to wall. I have Big Gulp but space is restricted. Thanks.

If the dowels are flat you might consider sanding them with a random orbital sander. You can then attach your vacuum directly to the sander.

A bell mouth hood is the most effective way to improve the airflow into a duct. If you don't want to heat form your own from PVC or turn them from wood you can buy speaker ports that are the proper shape. I'll attach a link to a Youtube video by an Aussie showing how effective they are. It is a 6" system using a 3hp DC.

Hey thanks.... not so much the hood as it is the holding bracket. I like the flaring tube(bell mouth)

Working on rounded 1x36...but you gave me a great idea. I can use the Festool with a modified sanding head.

I hope it works out for you best of luck

I sometimes use a 4"x10"dust hood with some rare earth magnets to attach to the lathe bed. Easy to attach and easy to move.

magnets

You just said the magic word...thank you sir

the stand from an angle poise lamp can be very useful for holding hose where you want it too. Remove the head and attach a swivel clamp to hold 4" hose. I use a flexible 3" articulated plastic end . Like "Loc-line" but on a larger scale bought from Camvac i'm the UK but you can certainly get on the USA and elsewhere.

This is a start ... just need the hood. Magnetic attachment is perfect here. I started to order from Woodcraft but shipping is 10 for a $20 item. Need to add items.

I trimmed a BigGulp... a little more contouring and good to go. Thanks once again for everyone's input.
