uni dust manifold

[Dale Benner]

Thought I would check on SMC to see if anyone knows where I can get a dust manifold for a uni M# 36-812,it fits under motor cover over an opening about 2-15.No longer available from Delta. Thanks in advance.

I've seen people adapt sheet metal air duct to register adaptors.

Dale,
I have the same configuration on my Unisaw - a narrow 2 inch tall by 14 inch wide opening for dust collection under the auxiliary table. Delta actually made a factory hood for this saw, the part number is 50-243. This particular part has the 5 inch opening. I bought mine from Woodworker's Supply, but a quick check showed it was no longer stocked. A Goggle search shows it is still available from other retailers. I have mine hooked to permanent duct work and an Oneida 2 HP commercial cyclone and it does a good job.

I made one out of plywood. I put an access door in the end of it so it is easier to get the blade nut when I drop it.
