Do it right the first time...

[Rockfish9]

the first branch terminates at the lathe and a floor sweep directly under the lathe, aluminum blast gates control the flow to either duct...

[Rockfish9]

the first shot is kind of a long view of the duct work as it travels away from the DC...

Next picture is of a small hood I affixed to the chop saw, this was problematic and took several tries to get it right.. now it is nearly perfect..

on the same table, controlled by it's own drop and blast gate is the drill press...

next is the beast that started all the trouble, the planer..this thing always made a mess, and clogged the pipe... no longer, i made the hood from a forced hot air floor sweep..because of the volume needes ( 550 -600 cfm) I ran a 6" duct to the drop, a 5" blast gate and 5" pipe...

beyond the planer, the trunk is 4" and services the jointer, it requires 250cfm and is feed by a 2 1/2" drop ( vacume cleaner hose) this drop has a quick disconect and eaisily reaches the router table..

the main branch is terminated in a T-Y that is capped for easy access as a clean out....

[Rockfish9]

att eh junction of the planer branch is a drop for the band saw... at the drop is a "utility" drop that can be used ( with adapters) for the table saw or craftsman lathe tha I use to drill with, the hose drop is a rigid colapsable one that can be folded away if the lathe table is moved ( it's on casters)..

nice set up....I loved mine too, but with the amount of juice the thing sucks up and the high cost of elect. down here, the old lady won't let me turn it on anymore...so I'm back to letting the chip fall where they may and when they get to deep..out comes the broom,shovel and barrel.

I hear ya on the power draw.. this one has a sarting draw of 9 amps and runs on 6....less than a toaster...

Your electric meter must set neighborhood records when you are running that system.

no sir... almost everything has been converted to 220 volts... I've put amp draws on most of the stuff.... draws very little....
