Hello, I found through google where someone carved a dust collection hood for their machine and had stated the pattern was free on here somewhere. I cant seem to locate it. I just recently installed a DC in my wood shop and would love to find this pattern. Any and all help would be appreciated, I hope I am posting in the right area for this. I have not posted many times.
Maybe it was this one: http://forum.carvewright.com/showthr...232#post148232
Thats the one that I carved. Been using it for years--works great!
I also used this one for about a year until I purchased a used dust devil on flea bay. It worked well but you will notice the difference with a Dust Devil or Ring Neck Blues dust collector.
I used that design as a starting point for my dust collector. I used some old plastic fittings from under a kitchen sink water trap as it fit on my shop vac hose. It gets most of the dust but I'd like to add a lip to the front someday to get the suction down a little closer to the work.Quote:

This was my second attempt at a top-mount collector and has been in use for a number of years now. The airflow path is much smoother than my first one, which I think makes a big difference. The bottom part, front sides, and upper lip are carved. A piece of aluminum sheet is screwed and taped in place to make a smooth bottom surface. The top is also sheet aluminum.Quote:

Nice design! Having the smooth transition for the bottom does help with the air flow.Quote:
