Title: Blade Storage and DW788 Dust Collection
Post by: DWSudekum on December 29, 2014, 09:26:41 pm
This is what I use for my blade storage.  The pull out drawer sits to the left of my saw.  I had a set of drawer slides from a cabinet that reclaimed.

For the dust collection I made a simple 8 inch in diameter bowl, cut it in half.  Since I had the stand that provided a good base to mount a board with a hole in it for the suction.  I glued one of the halves of the bowl to that board.  For the suction I was able to find a defective 1 hp harbor freight dust collector.  I replaced the motor with an old motor I scavenged someplace a couple of years ago.  While it does not get every bit of dust it does for the most part keep it off the floor.  It i s not too noisy either.
