lew Administrator February 15, 20197 yr Author stats Do you have any trouble with the sliding gate channel getting blocked with chips?
Gunny Members February 16, 20197 yr Author stats Not so far BUT, these are the new ones I got from Peachtree Woodworking recently. The other ones I have are from a Rigid kit. Those I have never had any issue with.
lew Administrator February 16, 20197 yr Author stats I ended up cutting off the bottom of the housing so when the gate was pushed shut, the gate forced the chips out of the bottom channel. Maybe it was because the gate/hose was pulling chips from my jointer and surface planer.
Gunny Members February 16, 20197 yr Author stats I suspect that would be a factor. Both of these new ports go to sanders. They can still plug up over time but that would be much longer compared to a jointer or planer. Only thing I can think of would be to make one yourself that is one longer piece with a opening and a solid side. Then slide open or closed. But, that would also mean more room available to have that longer piece.
