    Default Toy ideas for my Carvewright

    I am thinking of buying a good stand and dust remover that I can send down to my winter home for the Carvewright . Remember, shopping is almost nonexistent.

    this is what I am thinking of sending, any ideas/comments?

    I have had a delta portable dust collector in my shop for years. I used it for my table saw, planer, jointer, etc. I tried splitting the hoses and use it on my CW at the same time. Didn't work well. At the conference in Houston someone had the HarborFrieght Dust collector. I bought it the next weekend and have been using it ever since. I like it because my CW is on a cart with wheels and I move it around the shop depending on what else I am working on. The Dust collector is also on wheels and is small enough to roll around. I am very happy with the purchase.

    If you get the Harbor Freight DC make sure that version is brushless, The brushes on their machines wear out fast and the replacements are a pain in the rear to get.

    I would recommend this one: http://www.amazon.com/Shop-Fox-W1826...Dust+collector

    I have a shop fox model and if has been an awesome DC so far

    Avoid that Chinese stuff all together !!!! It's sad that the CW machine itself is from china ....

    Some links to 3d scanners. Looks like they could work.
    thanks so much!

    I recently purchased a Dust Deputy from Woodcraft as a front end to my shop vac for dust collection it collects almost all the chips from the Carvewright and very little gets to the shop vac.

    The Dust Deputy (www.oneida-air.com) separator that does an amazing job of separating all but the finest dust from vetting to the vacuum source. It should prolong the life of the vacuum source tremendously. They are also available from Amazon and other sources. I have been thinking of using the harbor freight vacuum as the backend to the dust deputy and just waiting for them to go back on sale. Replacing the filter bag on the HF unit with a small filter would make for a fairly compact unit. CW -> Dust Deputy -> HF Vacuum.
