So I was looking at some downdraft sanding box plans and then caught an idea floating in the old noggin, which as it turns outs is in my spell checker and is indeed a real word, go figure. Anyway I've been trying to figure out how to do dust collection on this and thought that I could build this sanding box and install one on top of my build. But then with gravity working as it usually does and this one being on earth and not the moon I thought maybe it should be on the bottom instead. Turns out I haven't committed the space above or below either way so it's open at this point. What I have at this point is a 6" PVC feed coming down to a https://www.amazon.com/Dust-Collection-Reducer-two-ducting/dp/B01DJMUIJ8 box. My original intention was to install a long 3" wide channel in the hood like a linear diffuser and feed it with the two 4" hoses but after seeing the downdraft sanding box it seemed less gooder. Yeah I know but I like that word and it's clean. Then this sanding box comes along and I think maybe make a custom size and drop it on top of the hood I built but that gravity thingy kept interfering with the physics of the whole idea and thought maybe I need to make one and put it in the base (bottom). I don't think I'm going to get 100% dust collection but would be happy at say 80-85%. I did cut some heavy plastic strips to hang down to restrict the opening needed for the saw to swing for full angles cuts but expect most cuts to be at 90 degrees anyway.
So thoughts, ideas, smart alec remarks? No really, I could use some additional brain power on this if you can spare it. The miter saw station is here. Actually after looking it's not so I have one attached. Okay maybe two. After a foot of snow I tend to get some cabin fever although my neighbor, did I mention having great neighbors is fantastic, just cleared the road and my driveway. Not going out anyway until my preop Dr's appointment tomorrow. Let Mother Nature and the expected 40 degree weather do it's thing. Refreeze is likely but the appointment in town is 2:15pm so I should be golden. But I digress........
I should mention that the DC is a CV1800 with a 6" PVC main line, 17" impeller, and 5 HP system.
