The Coffee Shop / Re: Steves Dust setup

« on: January 10, 2011, 09:05:31 pm »

This the set up I have shown before, all I have is a domestic vac that was given me that has a cloth dust bag that I clean every couple of days as the fine dust clogs it very quickly, the rest of my machinery I have a full size 2 horse power dust extractor and that is connected by a 4" hose to all my dust making machines, my planer and bench saw I use out side

I did not watch Steve's dust collection video as I am already set up and although dust from scrolling is not that much in comparison with wood turning you still have a problem and it is vital that you should have some sort of collection system, this is for your own health and if you can not afford it don't make dust, the system I made for my saw cost me nothing apart from 1/2 hour of time, and all I use a is a domestic vac. that was given to me and an old heat transfer fan, think about it

I will tell you all something any saw is better than the Ryobi I started with it used to chase me around the work shop it vibrated so  much in the end it shook it self to pieces, it nearly put me off the saw

My Ex has a slight pendulum motion when cutting but the blade is square all round as I check it occasionally.
You will not regret buying an Ex

Here is a end grain chopping board I made for my son in-law, end grain boards don't blunt the knives as quick

I have just cut some 12mm Jarra and that is very hard I used a #02 blade and it cut fine, you must be pushing the wood into the saw to hard try letting the saw do the work
