dust collector

Where can you find the 45 degree collector fitting used on dc system that is in the pattern store

This looks like the piece, but I am sure AskBud will chime in as it is his design. One here is a 4" and one is a 2 1/2" so I would refer to the plans. You can always PM AskBud if he doesn't find this thread.

By the way I just posted that link from Woodcraft because I am used to their site, I'm sure you can find those anywhere that sells woodworking or dust collection tools (Grizzly, Lee Valley, Ect.).

I just wanted to make it clear that those are not the only ones that will work, or even if they are the right part per AskBuds design. I am just linking to what it looks like to me....

cary them anymore I tried them and grizzly does not have them listed online

[c6craig]

Maybe someone else will have some decent places they shop. Lee Valley shows the 2 1/2" in stock but just at a glance I don't see a 4"...

Rockler is another place you can dig around in too...

You pretty much need to find out if it is a 2 1/2" or 4".....2 1/2's seem plentiful, but I don't see many 4". Don't you get some kind of installation plans in a pdf or something?

Here is Grizzly's 2 1/2"

William,
c6craig is correct. I got my gear at WoodCraft. If there is no store in your area that has what you need, you may order on line. Just use the links that c6craig posted to order or find the nearest WoodCraft store. My dust collector has a 4" port so I used 4" duct work.

Ken,

I keep meaning to try them out, how is their shipping and service?

Got all the parts together and am ready ton put it all to gather. But I do have a question. I am going to use a dryer vent hose. It is metal. To ground for static, can I just hook the ground ton he hose or do I still need to run a wire inside the hose? I already have the machine grounded, and will ground the dust collector.
Thanks for any help you all can give me.
