Fletcher's DC - carve it yourself

[Fletcher]

Hi Folks,

I have been getting more requests for this file to make your own Dust Collector Hood to fit your Carvewright, so here it is for easy download, in the new DC sub-forum!

I, and several others, have tested this carve and used the part that it makes in our machines and it works great! However, please note that you downloading this file is your acknowledgement that I make or imply no warranties, or any liability whatsoever for any problems, injury, or damage you may cause to you, your tools, or your machine.(Just covering my butt...)

[Fletcher]

Thanks! I love how you use the machine to create beautiful flowing surfaces on your instruments!

See, ~I KNEW~ this machine was dropped to us by either the Borg, or the Replicators!!!
(I think they feed on sawdust...)



THANK YOU Fletcher for the pattern to this, I know someone who doesn't have his "hood scoop" yet.

I know someone who doesn't have his "hood scoop" yet.

No problem... That's a GREAT name for it! This "hood scoop" sits under the hood of your CW and scoops debris!

This is an amazing project. I learn something new every day! (I should have carved this before I tried my last sign - somehow, I won myself a "Y-Axis Error"... ...thankfully, I've since fixed the problem.)

Well I had a go on Fletcher's design with a hunk of pi.. pi.. pi... domestic conifer.... Yesterday

Some primer and then some gloss later...

The tapped screws in the carvewright are for m4 (4MM) screws. I loc tighted some wing nuts on and now I can use either a power screwdriver or tighten/loosen the screws by hand. I haven't tried it to see how it works yet, but it appears that it is going to collect dust at the source very well

The 2 spring clamps keep the door from accidentally opening


It is very thoughtful that you made the pattern for .75 thickness stock-- this makes the material for the project easy to find for those out there that don't have access to thicker stock (a 1x8 from Ace Hardware covered things just fine... and cost me about $5.

Thanks for sharing the pattern, this is awesome.

Ok I understand the warranties, question is how are you running with the lid open?
