Has any one built a dust collection system for the carvewright machine? I have tried to hook a 8HP vacuum to the bag port but still does not clean but 1/3 of the chips from the machine.

I dont beleive the port for the bag on the back of the machine was ever intended as a dust collection port.

I designed a CW Vacuum Head that attaches to the CW tray. It is "Easy On & Easy Off".
It is listed in my signature below and in the CW Projects Section, currectly on page #2.

I also have a top mount collections system (DC-Insert) designed to the CW/CC machines. http://www.ringneckblues.com/Dust_Collector_Insert.php
A simple modification to the cover door is all that is required.
It is set up for hooking up to a dust collector. Using a shop vac to run a dust collections system is not very effective as they do not move the air like a D.C. plus you have the noise, higher static electricity and the chance of burning up the motor as they are not designed to run for long periods of time.
This is what I made and it has worked for 3 years....

I'm running 3 units with Ring necks hood works great I do a lot of Corain the hood will:-D remove it
And nobody mentiond the bag port is not for chip or dust removal!
You can hook up a downdraft system to remove dust from the slot in the bottom of the machine but it does not work well for wide boards. Shop vacs are not well suited for dust collection on any woodworking equipment.
I use a RingNeck Blues hood with a 650cfm Jet DC and it works great.
