Ron Altier Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 Lew I saw in your "turned round" picture, your set up for your vacuum when turning. Does that work well? Do you use all the time or just for sanding? I've been thinking about a vacuum set up, but haven't come up with much yet. Quote
John Morris Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 Great question Ron! Let's hear it Lew! Inquiring minds are inquiring! Quote
lew Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 The one at the lathe I only use for sanding- when I remember. I'll take some pix tomorrow to show some other dust control around the lathe. Quote
Cliff Posted October 30, 2014 Report Posted October 30, 2014 Lathe DC when Sanding for me has also turned into loose grit management. If I don't cover the bed I end up with grit adhering to it in places where I can't wipe. Then when I slide the head tail or banjo - - - !@#$%#$%#$#$$%#$~!!! Quote
Ron Altier Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Posted October 31, 2014 I looked at your vacuum set up and it looks like I used to use in my old large shop. I ran some overhead lines when I could and used the cardboard tubes that carpet comes rolled in. Carpet dealers tossed them and they are an exact fit. One caution, cardboard don't conduct and you should run a wire to the next metal piece, if it is a problem. I never had any problems Quote
lew Posted October 31, 2014 Report Posted October 31, 2014 Ron, I posted some pictures at- When I first set up the dust collector, I ran grounding wires thru each run. Seemed like the jointer/planer line always clogged because the shavings caught on the wire. Finally just ripped out the wire. No problems so far. Jari 1 Quote
