#43 - Dust Collection Solutions for your Bandsaw

http://HalfInchShy.com I recently got a Laguna Italian-Made LT-18 bandsaw. There's a 3-part video review of it if you are interested. The one thing that bugs me, though, is that the dust collection is really bad since it doesn't have an under-table port. In this video, I discuss how to modulate your DC's air flow to a shop-made shroud for cleaning right under the table. The results were very good; not dust-free, but very good. While I did this for my Laguna LT-18, the modulation method and some ideas on how to build the shroud can carry over to your bandsaw. Frankly, I wish I did this on my Rikon 14" I owned previously. Not the most interesting topic, I know, and certainly the video could use some bikinis (not on me...) but it should give you ideas on how to make your bandsaw reasonably dust free.
