More Dust Collection

I have been thinking want to do with the saw dust on my table saw for 6 months since I bought the clear dust pipe for it. That dust catcher you came up with is just what I need to do for my saw. I will make a gate into the top half of the hinge. I thank you for the idea, and now trying to find where I can get the long brush hair.

PS just thought of the clear plastic tube form fiber optic lights.

Try "brush strip" at McMaster-Carr. I just ordered some .014" nylon bristle brush strips. I hope it will be allot more flexible than the .030" broom bristles I used on the prototype.

A note about the down-pipe- I am using 3" S&D and get good flow. 4" would likely be better- even more CFM. If you use a small pipe or use a shopvac that has high static pressure and lower CFM, it may not work as well.

Alan, I'm very impressed. I just wish my shop was have as neat. Great job with the vac system.
