A bit of a run of improvements so here's what I am upto with my TS,....
the dust extraction from the factory is a hose that is coupled to a close fitting shroud right at the blade under the table then out to an adapter in the side of the machine to which the user attaches a connection, from a design point of view it's a bit lacking....there's not a lot of space around the shroud so I suspect this limits the flow into the hose, when doing a cut at 45° the hose impinges on the side wall of the machine and has to bend severely, to replace the hose and fit it onto this shroud is a right PITA, long thin pieces get stuck inside the hose and cause a build up of dust, the hose is about a metre long so helps with the general restriction to flow, so after a few repairs and generally getting annoyed with it, off it came.
This is no solution either as although there is some dust pickup from off the bottom of the cabinet via my connection it doesn't take long before it's a mess, so the beginnings of hopefully a solution, basically the idea is to take a tapered section from under the blade out to the connection point, there will also be other sections added to help direct dust into the tapered section.
Pics....
It will be 125 size pipe so enlarging the original hole was required, for best flow this should be 150 but 150 would have interfered with the movment of the spinle moulder inside the cabinet, on the outside there will be a 90° bend with a floating flange that will pickup the original threaded holes, a trick the boilermakers use is to centerpunch the marked out line in case it dissapears, it does help, inside the cabinet there is a rib that I am using to fit the right hand side of the floor section up against and the round end will fit upto the hole I have enlarged, I have to make all the pieces small enough to fit thru a narrow gap and then assemble it inside the cabinet.....just to make it a bit more interesting :roll:
