Why? not a lot of dust to require that much over the top gear ?
Quote from: thirsty on January 04, 2012, 03:28:23 pmWhy? not a lot of dust to require that much over the top gear ? when you cut as much as I do, there is a mountain of dust under my saw. There is also a lot of airborne dust. I am not so concerned about the dust that falls to the bottom of the saw or floor. As GB said, it is easy to sweep up and vac with a shop vac. I am more concerned with the airborne dust. Have you ever blown your nose after cutting for several hours? A lot of crap comes out! Can you imagine what your lungs take in? Did you know that wood dust is a carcinogen? That means that it can cause cancer! I personally know of two woodworkers that died of lung cancer. They did not smoke!So, Thats why!
I guess I need to install a chip catcher between the saw and the collector. Any ideas on how to do this?
