I have a 14" enclosed base Delta bandsaw. There is a small dust port below the table just in front of the lower guides. It is totally worthless. I bought this bandsaw over 10 years ago and it has mostly sat in a corner. Unless I can improve the dust collection it is going back in the corner.

I seem to remember buying a dust port of some kind that attaches to the outside of the lower wheel housing. If I can find it and install it will it really do anything for the dust collection. If this is not going to work how do you guys/gals collect dust from your bandsaw.

This must be my sixth post since I rolled this @#$% bandsaw out of the corner. Really starting to remember why it was in the corner. This was suppose to be a good way to return to the shop after surgery, small projects on the bandsaw. I don't think it is going to help my surgery much if I end up picking this thing up and throwing it out of the shop.

Nice; my saw is a bit more "open air" than yours (on the left in the picture):



The two nuts at the top of the bottom cover don't force it to seal very well at all.
