Hi guys!

Since I added the horizontal feature on one of my grinders it has proved to be more useful than I would have imagined. Nowadays, I use it for almost every grinder related task, whether it be with the SGA, grinding handles or with the small wheels for profiling.

This is all great, but unfortunately it comes with a cost. The cost of grinding dust all over my workshop. My dust collector setup consists of a dust hood and the use of good old gravity.

Sadly enough, when I go horizontal, the dust hits right about every piece of the workshop, except my dust collector.

So, I need your help, your bright ideas of how to implement a dust collector system that's effective even in horizontal grinding mode, and it needs to work with various types of attachments (SGA, contact wheels, small wheels, lengthwise flat platens etc).

If you've figured this out, I'd love to see some pictures!

Thanks!
