I made a dust evacuation system for my grinder.

The cold can be to much. It was 80* here a couple days ago and today it dipped down to 63*....
 
I am glad that my setup gave you some ideas Rick. :thumbup: Good dust collection/extraction does make the job a lot more fun and of course the important thing, safer.

That intake close to the grinder is brilliant. I never figured out how to do it without freezing my moose berries off. ;) I will also borrow the flashing idea to keep the sparks from getting to the house siding, more than they already have that is.

Like Nick, I have no idea how you get the hang of grinding like that. I am having a hard enough time even with being able to sight down over the knife, couldn't imagine grinding blind. Guess that's what differentiates talented folks like you from hacks like me. :o;)

Of course now thanks to Joe, my shop efficiency just dropped cause I will HAVE to figure out a split system for the KMG with a second intake at the back.
And of course a Torit dust collector system (whatever that is) just made it to my to buy list.
Thanks for nothing guys. :mad:;)

Thanks for sharing Rick.

Thanks for posting this. I've really been looking into getting mapped out myself for dust collection. Can't replace those lungs, well not easily or as cheaply as a good respirator and collection system. Want to make a shop in my back shed, but before I start constructing anything I want to plan the collection system and get that in place first (after I run power).
 
Would it do even better having one at the bottom AND top? Double your pleasure, double your fun!
 
H'mmm

I dunno if my wife would stand for me sticking a duct like that on brick wall of my garage. I suppose I could do a 4" hole with a core drill and a dryer vent on the outside into a bucket.

I gotta think about this. The good news is I've got all the parts on hand except the diamond core drill (maybe I can rent that for a couple of hours somewhere).

You guys (Rick, Pat, Nick et al) are dangerous when you come up with good ideas like this.
