Hi all,
In response to Mike Cruz, I finally got the time this afternoon to go out to the shop to take a few pics of the sliding base I made for the big gulp hood that I use behind the bed ways of my lathe.
This allows the hood to slide forward and back to be as close as needed for sanding, and some collection of the curlees, and then pushed back out of the way when not needed. It really works great. Depending on how much room one has on the back side, the base could be made longer, and give even more room away from the bed of the lathe. I am limited because of space, and even though there is a wall behind my lathe, I can still get the hose adapter and all and have plenty of room.
I use the Rockler "Dust Right" hookups for my 4" hose, and that goes to my dust collector. The base is mounted to a roller stand with the roller and bracket removed, and the base is attached with 4 screws.
