    Default Front Loading Dust Collector Interest

    OK... It worked for the ROCK, let's see if it could work for the Dust Collector.

    Looking at the FWHarris Interpretation of a front loading dust collecting hood and his offer to let a sheet metal shop look at the hood to make a sheet metal version got me thinking.

    How many would be interested in a professionally made metal collector?

    I would be interested in 2 and possibly 3.... As my Ill fitting unit has it's flaws causing it to droop.... A better made collector would be very helpfully to me.

    So let's hear it....

    Who is interested in buying a professional unit for your CW?

    I know I have not had the chip problems using my collector.

    It would be nice if someone was in the plastic injection molding business to take a look at this. Would be nice to see a clear top loading DC tray with port made with from a one piece molded part that fit like a glove.

    To all,,

    I have a meeting set up for this Thursday morning with a fabrication shop to look at what I have and what they can do with it. Will post info when I have it.

    Al,

    We should have a good estimate of numbers by then hopefully so I can have a good idea of numbers to talk to them about..

    Ok I'm going to chime in here, as this might help and might not. I remember seeing on youtube a person who made there own vaccuum molding press. what's this got to do with anything, well with the advent of the stl software couldn't a mold be made and some platsic bought and heated. Just a thought here's one I just did a quick search http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jOxhQ1lhV8

    That is how it's done on a small scale. We have a small company in my area call Romeo Engineering (3 miles away) and he make aftermarket parts for Corvettes. I am going to send him a link to this tread. I have been in his shop and seen the patterns and how it's done. I will invite him to comment on the subject. Hopefully he will respond here and take some questions on the possibilities.

    Default Great idea!!

    Anyone who could manufacture a new cover with a built in vacuum port could clean up with all the CarveWrights that are out there!! Why didn't they incorporate a port in their cover in the first place????

    Default Off set the port?

    I think the vacuum port should be off set to the end away from the keypad, because that is the way the built-in blower pushes it and that is where, in my experience, it piles up the most. When money gets better I would probably buy one.
