Hi all,
Not much happening today. Terribly bored. Rockler sent an email today which had a fairly cool dust collection system and a video showing it working.
I HATE DUST!!!! Especially lathe sanding dust!!!!!!!
So, this naturally reduced my ennui for a short time... whipped this up so I have a plan to follow.
Here is the Rockler device: Dust Right® Lathe Dust Collection System | Rockler Woodworking and Hardware for ~$70 + ~$30 postage... and the Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLXKm1-u6HE
So I designed one using nothing but 20mm dowel, a few lengths of 50x20 pine and a few twist knobs. The main catchment is 150mm PVC and the back is 100mm pvc simply glue-welded onto the back at an appropriately cool angle.
-- There is nothing entirely novel about the solution other than it offers a slightly bigger catchment of 6" and a bigger 4" suction. BobL no doubt can improve this with the curvy-trumpet-thingy.... but the Sketchup doesn't handle compound curves intersecting with any grace.... so elaborate away!
-- I like the way my design offers two sliding grip points for the pipe rather than Rocklers one on the end. I seriously doubt you'll need as much adjustment/movement as I put into each rod, they are 500mm each and simply that long as I stretched them until it looked "cool".
-- The two attachment points are shown in detail... the tricky 90°-90° joiner could use a tweak depending on load. The pipe clamper is simply curved on a bobbin sander (or such) to match the curve of the 6" pipe and secured with a couple of screws from the pipe side.
-- The main support rod looks very long. I intend to attach the 4" pipe to the back using the pipe grippies from Carrols CWS Store - 2Pc Double Loop Squeeze 4" Hose Clamp | Carroll's Woodcraft Supplies and an Occy strap over the long base bit to keep the pipe tame.
-- Use some knobs like the T-Tracks here: CWS Store - T Track Knobs | Carroll's Woodcraft Supplies or make your own:
-- The front bit that attaches to the lathe is the design I use for my other accessories on the Cougar EVS300. One bit follows the gap in the bed, the lower bit clamps upwards and exerts force to clamp it closed. I do this for the disk sander module and tool rack sitting on the end. It slides off easily and doesn't get in the way of the underside webbing. Modify to suit your lathe, of course...

Use as you will. I'm not even sure if it'll work! No copyright. Sketchup attached. dust collection.zip
