A Funny Thing Happened Today

I have been designing a new type of overhead guard and dust collection hood for the TS for a while now and building it out of some perspex that was left over from a shop fit out. I tried using superglue to glue it and finding that didn't work I showed the material to a plastic fabricator and he sold me some glue with assurances it would do the job. Today I finished it and after I hooked it up and fired up the cyclone I found it had an ear splitting whistle caused by the airflow but before the disaster I confirmed it works. I was testing it on the bench and the flexible dust line was along the bench while it was running, I turned the cyclone off and the line moved and the hood finished up on the floor. Prior to it hitting the floor I had been swearing at it because of the noise and wondering how I was going to get it apart far enough to fix it. That is no longer a problem as the glue the guy sold me was no bloody good for this material and it fell apart saving me a whole lot of hassle so I got some different stuff today and we will see how that goes. I am really pleased it worked though as it is totally different in design to anything that I have seen and I reckon I have seen most of them. When I am finished and have it working I will post some pics and design features. The fundamental advantage is it can sit on the top of the material with no clearance and still have full airflow through it even with the entire base is sealed against the material being cut and it is impossible for any debris or dust to escape. Stay tuned........
