It took me a couple of months and several more months of planning.

It took a lot of trial and error, supplies from 4 different places, several trips to Klingspor, and 1 trip back to Klingspor returning the things I didn’t use.

Total of 11 tools and 2 floor sweeps.

I’m pretty happy with the outcome. Not perfect, but still pretty good.

Robert, well done! I am sure you will come to appreciate your system more and more...it is nice to simply open and close blast gates rather than lug a hose from tool to tool!

Thanks Donn for letting me come over and check out your system. It helped out getting me started.

Robert,
That is REALLY nice looks like your patience paid off.
Is that one of the floor sweeps at the drill press?

Yes that's a floor sweep by the Drill Press. I am curious how useful a floor sweep ends up being.

I think if you have a remote, it will be good, if you have to walk over and switch on the DC, there will likely always be a pile in front of the sweep...JMHO

Great job. I may have to study and reference these pics many times. I've been toying with piping in a system instead of moving the shop vac hose from tool to tool as I am now. I use a dust deputy and 15 gallon fiber drum that is sufficient for my needs. My shop is my garage and still used as a garage when I'm not in it.
